Answer to Question 1

Students should discuss assignment of benefits, which is what Cage did when he made a promise of the proceeds to her. The students might also raise whether the promise had to be in writing. Absent some specific state statutes on lottery split arrangements, the agreement does not fit into any of the Statute of Frauds requirements. The students might also discuss whether the shop server was an incidental beneficiary or credit or donee beneficiary in the relationship.

Answer to Question 2

B

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
