How many of you got fooled by the Microsoft question on the last part of the test? I can’t believe you guys got me on that one!!! Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice--- double shame on you for taking advantage of the slow. :)

Yeah that microsoft question on the last part did fool me too, actually that whole last part got me i think i only got two of them right, which is no good. I guess that i need to learn to read better.

Thanks to the "24 hour rule," I still have over 12 more hours to be mad for no real reason. If I eat a gallon of ice cream to drown my sorrows, do the calories still count?

That last question was to weird for me. I was fine with most of the other ones but that last one just didn't seem right.

scott said...

Ok so i totally learned that hard way that reading your intro and conclusion is really important. It's a ten point swing!!

The monthly bonus points for posting comments on this blog is really great. Thanks Peters! For all of us who did poorly on the matching section at the end of the quiz on The Right Stuff can use these points to their advantage.

I was very glad that Jim was in my group and I didn't have to take that part. There is no way I would have got half of those questions right... At least for that section.

I continue to maintain that that portion of the test was unfair. Steve Jobs is not an Apple Computer. He is a person, and only one answer referred to a person- and it was the wrong answer. The wording was unfair. It was a deliberate trick and I feel manipulated. I still maintain that I will be angry about that particular question in that quiz for years to come. Serious.

I cannot relate. Jim was in my group and I was therefore exempt from that part of the quiz =] Thank god that he was. There was NO way i wouldve got the questions right.
