I agree with you that a lot of the questions didn't have answers that fit me. But that's always the way with multiple choice questions.

Speaking of which, when I was teaching math my students kept bugging me foi multiple choice questions, since they thought they would be easier. So finally I said, okay.

I gave them a multiple choice test. But every set of answers had a "none of the above" option. So they still had to do the question precisely, because 1/5th of the questions didn't have the right answer, and if they only guessed at the closest answer then risked getting it wrong anyhow. They were annoyed. I told them, be careful what you wish for, your wish may come true. Didn't seem to make than any happier. LOL!

I came out a new prosperity independent. I had done this before and came out the same. I guess that was as close as they could get given their format and categories. Not very satisfying, though.

Nope, you're OK Tim. I just don't want the kind of vitriol found on the political threads to invade this place. It's a sanctuary for politeness.
