That's a nice quiz question. It got me thinking, and after a few minutes
of experimenting, I found the solution:

> sh -c '/bin/sleep "$@"' whatever 30

The thing was that you ran the script "/bin/sleep" with $0 being
"whatever" and $1 being 30, but the script didn't pass these arguments
to the simple command "/bin/sleep".
