The calculus example is a good one for examining goal-achievement.
I am currently taking Calculus 2, Integration by Trigonometric Substitution is one of the methods.
The textbook I am using is very Implicit in examples explaining this method, and I have thought many times about how much easier it would be if it were to use more Explicit examples.
Implicit examples by nature take more time and effort than explicit examples, making the implicit less likely to be chosen than the explicit.
It would have to be one very highly motivated 8-year-old to pass the calculus test, or one that has an extremely high ability to understand implicit examples.
As far as the goals of a comedian, he/she would have to be very highly motivated and very good at implicit learning to gain anything from ‘Garfield and Friends’.
Myself, I would choose George Carlin as an explicit example…
I must say though that my example is mainly to illustrate the point of Implicit learning (breaking the code) being harder than explicit learning (being given a key).
I prefer breaking the code most times.
I guess the double entendre about Carlin was a bit to implicit… maybe just not funny...

The examples on www.patrickjmt.com might help.
Thanks, nice link.
