Hello museum flunking afficionados,
Many years ago, Chandler Screven told me of a "science center" - perhaps
more akin to a visitor center - that he worked on, for the Tennessee
Valley Authority. They had a quiz program to see how much visitors had
learned in the galleries. If the visitor's score was high enough, they
could go to the gift shop and receive a free gift. If they didn't have a
high enough score ...............
I suggested to Chandler that they had succeded in making a flunkable
museum, but he disagreed.
I wonder if anyone else has a similar rewardable - or flunkable - test.
