Three identical bar magnets, each 2 cm long, are placed in a straight line on a frictionless surface with their ends equally spaced with 2 cm between ends. They are constrained so they cannot rotate, but they can slide along the straight line. The left magnet has its north pole nearest the north pole of the middle magnet, and the right magnet has its south pole toward the middle magnet's south pole. Once they are in place and released from rest, which of the following best describes the motion of the magnets?
 a. The end magnets will move away from the center magnet.
  b. The magnets will not move since they are equally spaced. c. The magnets will snap together.
  d. None of the above would happen.

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.
