I wonder if law students in other countries like the Netherlands or Russia or China have to do those questions too, or is it just americans? I have always wondered that... Plus is it something that only recent law students had to do or have law students from say the 1800's have to solve that crap too? I'm talking about these kind of questions :

An amusement park roller coaster includes five cars, numbered 1 through 5 from front to back. Each car accommodates up to two riders, seated side by side. Six people?Tom, Gwen, Laurie, Mark, Paul and Jack?are riding the coaster at the same time.

* Laurie is sharing a car.
* Mark is not sharing a car and is seated immediately behind an empty car.
* Tom is not sharing a car with either Gwen or Paul.
* Gwen is riding in either the third or fourth car.

Do law students in all countries have to practice logic questions like that, or is it just americans??? And what about law students a hundred yrs ago, did they have the same type of questions or is this just something recent?
