On second blush, and when I consider the state of the world today, I realize that I'm a hell of a lot smarter than most of the world. I'm just modest, and damn proud of it.Cap'n Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783977137812876489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-53948438756767532602009-08-28T09:02:39.469-05:002009-08-28T09:02:39.469-05:00I also got 100%.

These questions don't require scientific knowledge so much as general awareness of what's going on in the world. What's even more surprising (and scary) to me is that .5% of test takers got NO answers correct. I would have thought that even if you were guessing every answer, you'd get at least one right just by happenstance. (Now, someone with a math background can explain why, according to probability theory, my guess is not valid.)Debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-54942203124054346832009-08-27T20:31:39.905-05:002009-08-27T20:31:39.905-05:00I missed 2, but I wasn't certain on them.

Concerning the statement that they were "simple" reminds me of the definition of an <i>easy</i> question; it's one for which you know the answer.Benjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05155472883124774755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-84522659373756928202009-08-27T18:33:28.145-05:002009-08-27T18:33:28.145-05:00I got 11 out of 12, but when I checked the answers...I got 11 out of 12, but when I checked the answers I found that I checked "True" when I intended to check "False."
