Get Set For School

I have an idea for a story where a boy runs a business in his school setting people up. How would this work? I'm unsure of how he would run this buisness and whether he would get paid by his "clients" Any ideas.

He sets shy brainy people up with popular people. He finds the similarities in their likes and dislikes. Things that shy people might not talk about. He gets paid in home work assignments and free tutoring - then ends up meeting his own perfect match.

Alright my school just got a grant for new computers and it is really cool how they have them set up. For every one tower their is four monitors mice and keyboards. I noticed that each of the "Lab units" (monitor,keyboard, mouse) is hooked up to a little black box and then from the black box just one CAT6 cable runs to the back of the tower. What is the little black box that they are using and how would i set up something similar?

it's called a KVM switch ( key board video mouse ) they are not that expensive and you should be able to buy one at any electronics store

In this story a family is travelling in a car on the overpopulated street to get out of the town they lived in they have to go through this tunnel and they talk about this tunnel as a bad thing and they don't reveal it until the end that it shuts down seven times a week at both ends and when it does it shuts down with cars with people inside and kills them. It is a population control measure that I believe they dubbed elimination without discrimination. I am trying to find out what the name of this story is...I do remember the word "Extros" being use quite a bit but it brings up nothing in google but Dan Simmon's Hyperion which is not the story I am thinking of.

Wow, that's going to be tough finding that. I tried several different ways of searching, but came up with nothing. I even searched "killing people in a tunnel." I'm probably on a government watch-list now.

It almost sounds like something Stephen King would write in a short story, but in addition to searching his prolific output, I've also read most of his stuff and I do not remember reading that particular scenario.

When did you read this story? A date might pin down popular science fiction writers of the day. Also, if it hasn't been so very long ago, perhaps the classroom instructor who gave the assignment might be able to help you.

As a last resort, you could try the research and information desk at your local library. My library offers this: you just call and ask your question and they use all available resources to try and find an answer for you. It's like a live Ask-dot-com.

Good luck.

7. Ruler
8. Mathematical set

And also a quick tip
Do not take any notice of teachers and their demands, they think that they know it all but they haven't a clue. That does not mean that you should be rude to them, just don't take their complaints seriously.
