QS 125

December 23rd, 2009

An easy one, today. And I guess it’s a pretty well known funda.
When it was felt that there was a threat to a particular US President’s life from foreign sympathizers, there arose an urgent need to acquire an armored vehicle for him. But special laws of the time prevented the purchase of any vehicle that cost above $750. Since there was no time to bring in an amendment, an alternate solution was thought of and the result of that was A, acquired free of cost. How was this possible?

A
