Adaptability

You're standing in the lobby at 8:15 in the morning, in front of the main entrance. For the 5th time, you text your friend, "Hurry up! When are you coming??" As if further spamming your chat will perhaps increase his speed of walking to school, you throw in another message, "WE HAVE A PROJECT TO GLUE!"

Finally, you see the front doors being pulled open, and your friend walks in, carrying part of a WWII cardboard tank, covered in brown paint. Sputtering profuse apologies, he dumps his bag on the ground and gives you his piece, while you plug the hot glue gun into a nearby outlet and rummage through your backpack to look for the rest of the model. You try fitting the pieces together, and both of you realize that your tank will not properly fit together. How are you going to adapt to the situation?
