Question 1

Chandler and Monica take a vacation to the Bahamas. After a few days of sitting on the beach, Monica and Chandler get bored and decide to cause a little trouble. They find a fireworks dealer, buy a bunch of firecrackers and bring them back to the beach. For the next few hours they amuse themselves by digging shallow holes, dropping the lit firecrackers into the holes and causing little "sand explosions". The exploding fireworks send sand and small rocks flying for twenty-five feet in every direction. On one occasion, the force of the explosion was so great that it knocked a coconut off of a palm tree one hundred feet away. Unfortunately, Ross is napping under the palm tree and the falling coconut hits him in the head. If Ross sues Chandler and Monica for negligence and Judge Cardozo is presiding over the case, Ross will most likely win:

Despite knowing that the kids were only ten years old, Crusty sells them the firecrackers. The kids take the firecrackers to the park where they begin to set them off. One of the firecrackers, a bottle-rocket, is defective and, instead of launching straight up into the air before exploding, flies at a low angle where it hits Maggie in the face and explodes. If Maggie sues Crusty for negligence, she will most likely:

Speedy tells Mike that if the order is late and the pizza is given to the party for free, the money will come out of Mike's paycheck. Mike, not wanting to lose any money from his paycheck, drives significantly above the speed limit, runs several red lights and weaves in and out of traffic so that he can deliver the pizzas within thirty minutes of the order. While speeding around a curve, Mike loses control of his car and crashes into the front of Scottie's house. If Scottie sues Speedy for Mike's negligence, Scottie will probably:
