My kid was assigned a similar task this week on Monday, due Tuesday, so we can't assume this kid left it to the last minute. I think his research strategy is pretty good. He was supposed to ask a real person, not use a website. He found a forum
full of people interested in bikes and asked a group of us for the information. If one person gives him poor information, for certain someone else will correct it so he can be reasonably assured of valid answers.
