Sometimes it helps to be uneducated, so you can ask stupid questions that need to be asked and get some hard answers.

...quickly go out. What were they? You try to repeat that sequence by quickly punching five numbered buttons in the proper order; in your stupor, you are too slow−or you get one number wrong. Try again. A different sequence of numbers flashes on. Another miss. Better pull yourself together and concentrate. But you fail for the third time and you know that now the car won't start at all for another half-hour; it has sensed that you are not sober enough to drive safely...
