    I went to a job once where they gave me a 'logic' test. As I was doing one the questions I realised none of the offered answers was correct. Yet, one of the proffered answers would be 'correct' in the mind of someone who misunderstood the stuff in a fairly common way, and the other choices were variations on this same incorrectness but even more incorrect...

    So I went back over my script and realigned the answers to all the similar questions with this thought in mind: that to achieve a high score I had to fit in with what the questioner thought the correct answer was.

    Got a perfect score, on a test where several of the answers were wrong.

    And got the gig.

          The rules allow you to vote for yourself. Yeah, Mitch is a bright chappie, as is Owlhoot.

            I would like to vote for my self in 5 years time.

            I think this is how long it will take me to become an expert in everything, from reading these forums.
