Surface charge distribution

["Fakhruddin, Hasanbhai" <hfakhrud@BSU.EDU>]

Hello Everyone!

Need help with the following conceptual problem:

A conducting shell is initially neutral.  A point charge +q is placed
OFF CENTER inside the cavity.  Is the charge induced on its outer
surface symmetric or asymmetric?   

Thanks,
