[IPAC-List] Yelling Fire?

[Joel Wiesen]

Hello IPACers,

Does anyone know when the question about a fire in a crowded movie 
theater first appeared in a major intelligence test?  My guess it dates 
to a time of lax building codes concerning exit signage, exit size, 
aisle size, aisle length, and (no) fixed seating, and a time of larger 
movie theaters.

How is yelling fire different from pulling a fire box in a theater? 
When one pulls a fire box the fire klaxon sounds so all call hear it. 
What am I missing?

Thanks.

Joel
