"There was a hedge in my way," the Doctor explained. "That's why I wasn't here. I understand there were hedges in your way too and yours and so on. I don't like hedges." That was all there was to say about that. "Don't think this gets you out of your final. I hope you all remembered to wear sensible shoes. You won't be running today, but it's important to get into good habits if you're going to be dealing with this planet on a regular basis. Lots of running usually. Shoes should be sensible." It was reasonable to assume that the Doctor was a bit 'off' today. "You, you aaaaand you," he said, pointing to three students, "stay here and answer your final question. It's a one on one verbal exam. The rest of you go play in the amusement park. Stay away from the hot dogs. I didn't program them quite right." They would taste like pungent cheese. "Make sure you wander back out here before the hour is up to answer your question."

He opened the doors to reveal an amusement park with a Ferris wheel, dodgems, roller coaster and assorted other rides, games and holographic food stands.

She took a moment to think about it. "I remember the run, it wasn't that bad. And then I got a book about them to read, so I guess I know a bit about them?"

"What would you have to do to protect a village in the path of a lava flow?"

"Magically speaking, I could perhaps delay the fall on the lava and transport the village somewhere else. Or depending on the ground, I could make a hole big and deep enough to stop it from reaching the village." The Doctor hadn't asked if she would pass out after that. "Without magic, it's trickier. Depending on how much time there is to act, me and the villagers could work on a barrier to redirect the path of the lava, cave a hole, but in most cases an evacuation would be the last solution."
