For which I thank the Dope! I had a Microsoft exam yesterday and the revision had been driving me nuts. I had a major mental blockage over it and was dreading it. Fortunately the Dope was one of the things that kept me sane. And it turns out I only just missed out: two more right answers, maybe one-and-a-half, and I’d have passed.
And the re-take is free.

Remember that if this question comes up:
_“Q: You are flying Bill Gates in the MS corporate jet at 20,000 feet when suddenly a cabin door fails. The resulting explosive decompression in the passenger cabin sucks Bill, his glasses, his briefcase, and all his papers out of the plane but you in the cockpit are left intact. What do you do?”_
The answer is C: “Adjust for reduced cargo weight and radio Seattle-Tacoma for landing instructions.”
