yeah I know, I am pretty pissed at myself because what I did was go through the questions and answered the ones I knew the answer to right away, and then worked my way back, and to see which ones were solvable from a time management perspective. One of the questions was.

A bag of seeds cost 16.4 cents, and the price was recently raised to 20.5 cents, what is the increase in terms of a percentage?

I put 20% and went to the next question, and after I handed it in, I refigured it to be 25%, I spent an additional 15 seconds on it and I get it.....

I loved it, not only because I did well but because it was really interesting.

These test are biased.
They should ask questions like:
1. If you have $3000 when you enter the strip club and table dances are $20 and you leave with $40, how many dances did you get?

2. If you have 7 children with 4 different women, how much child support will you owe if you have to give up 40% of your salary of $12.4 million?


They would have much higher scores

If you throw a bag of 500, $100 bills in the air at a strip club in Las Vegas, and the AC is blowing 2 MPH from right to left and there are 16 strippers grabbing 3 bills a minute, how long will your suspension be?
