With xxx's email, I finally realized that the final exam is approaching indeed. Below is a joke I found online and twisted a little to add more readability. It might be too old for you, but at least it serves to remind you how easily a makeup final can be designed.
-------
This past Winter term, at Ryerson University, there were three third-year students who were taking CVL312 Computer-Aided Structural Analysis and who did pretty well on all of the quizzes, midterms, labs, etc. Going into the final exam, they had solid A's.
These three friends were so confident going into the final that the weekend before finals week (even though the CVL312 final was on Monday), they decided to go up to the University of Montreal to a party with some friends. So they did this and had a great time. However, they ended up staying longer than they planned, and they didn't make it back to Toronto until early Monday morning.
Rather than taking the final then, they found Professor Yuan after the final and explained to him why they missed it. They told him that they went up to Montreal for the weekend, and had planned to come back in time to study, but that they had a flat tire on the way back and didn't have a spare and couldn't get help for a long time. So they were late getting back to campus. Dr Yuan thought this over and agreed that they could make up the final on the following day. The two guys were elated and relieved.
So, they studied that night and went in the next day at the time that Dr Yuan had told them.
Dr Yuan placed them in separate rooms, handed each of them a test booklet and told them to begin. They looked at the first problem, which asked a brief explanation of "Eng. SoCiety"[1] and was worth 5 points. "Cool" they thought, "this is going to be easy." They did that problem and then turned the page. They were unprepared, however, for what they saw on the next page.
It said: "(95 points) Which tire?"
