The endurance test was over soon.
The old examiner pointed to the weight-lifting machine. – «It's time for the muscle strength test. There's a wide range of loaded weight plates. The gray plates weigh 50 kg, the white plates weigh 100 kg, the light blue plates weigh 250 kg, the dark blue plates weigh 500 kg, the red plates weigh 1000 kg, and the black plates weigh 2500 kg. Your task is to choose any number of plates of any color, put them on the barbell and raise it over your head. You will be given three attempts.»
The test-takers started wondering what dirty trick the cheater had up his sleeve this time.
The strength test had begun. After a while, it was Alex's turn.
He rolled two red plates to the machine and put them on the bar... Putting forth a great effort, he managed to pull 2000 kg off the ground. After about a minute of grunting and gritting his teeth, he lifted his inhumanly heavy burden over his head.
«Passed.» – The examiner said stiffly.
