My friend James walked past a branch of the Royal Bank today (and yes, I’ve been a customer of theirs since 1987) and saw this through one of the windows of their ground floor street-facing meeting rooms:
The text of the whiteboard reads:
RRSP Loans
1) Rebuttle [sic] from last week’s objections
a) I don’t have enough money right now
b) I need to speak to my accountant first
How do we overcome this?
It’s a reminder that you have to be careful about what you leave visible in ground-level offices with windows facing the street. I don’t think we know enough about the context of the meeting during which this was written on the whiteboard, but it’s worth noting that:
Have a good April Fools’ Day tomorrow, but be mindful about your pranking.

That's small potatoes to some of what I've seen marking essays in higher ed (not since coming to Oxford, of course).
AKMA: I hope so -- Oxford students are supposed to be held to the highest standards. I expect elite British university students to have excellent spelling, scintillating diction, and awesome sex party games.
Sadly, there's an inexplicably omitted Oxford comma in the first paragraph of that law student exam question you just linked to. Otherwise, good on them for using everyday situations to learn their students.
Now back to RBC...
It seems clear to me that they are asking "how do we overcome not having enough money right now". There is an arrow from (a) to the question. Poor photo.
