How Microeconomics Ruined Her Night

It was so cliche.

After lecture today, we had 4hrs free to study for the midterm. Decided to went through the slides. Casually asked her friends, "Does anyone know how to compute the optimum points for intertemporal budget curve?"

"WTH are you talking about. Theres no such thing. Stop making up stuff."

So we went in the exam hall, all nervous and singing "You Are My Sunshine" to make use of the extra energy boost from the cappuccino we had earlier. Sat down. More singing and drooling over the hot tutor who was supervising the exam. Laughing and screaming. If only we knew.

We got the papers, facing down. Waited for the entire hall to receive their papers. When the tutor said "Start", the whole room was filled with flipping-paper noises.

Question one.

Given this and this. Compute the equilibrium for the consumption for both periods and savings. In other words, Compute the optimum points for the intertemporal budget constraint.

Right there right then, I only wished the professor would storm into the hall and scream "Gotcha! Here's the REAL exam paper, that was just something to stop your heart a beat!"
