Run this one by the Institutional Review Board

A question from the Stats homework:
A research team believes that herbal tea has remarkable restorative powers. They obtain permission to test their theory using residents of a local nursing home as subjects. Briefly outline an experiment to test this theory.

The answer:
Take all the local residents of the nursing home and group them according to their health...Then once they are in their groups, they will be cut in half....

Ouch!
