Christ, but did I blow it. All those goddamned literature and art questions; I know absolutely nothing about literature and art. 35, maybe. ---

Well, that sucked. Missed too many because the cursor wasn’t in the field. And I don’t seem to know anything about popular culture, like rap artists and books written in the last five years… ---

Well, you won’t be competing with me. I felt like I was guessing at far more this time than last time. ---

Sheeee-it, that felt way harder than last time. On the first test, I think there were only two questions I was sure I missed, and I passed on about four this time and guessed at a few others. My score can’t be too terrible, but I was hoping to match what I did on the previous test. ---

Yeah, I think I punted it, too. There were a few I thought I should know, a few where I knew and think most people wouldn’t, and way too many where I just had no clue. ---

The literature questions killed me–especially those about more recent books. I’d guess about 35 right or so. ---

[QUOTE=RickJay] Christ, but did I blow it. All those goddamned literature and art questions; I know absolutely nothing about literature and art. 35, maybe. [/QUOTE] Same here. A question about a CHAIR designer? Are you kidding me? Not nearly enough science and math questions, if you ask me. I remember the photosynthesis one, the nobel gases, and…any other science ones? ---

Choked. Disappointing. Of course, it didn’t help that I was logged in to my night job at the same time I was answering these questions. ---

I feel like I faced Nolan Ryan while wielding a styrofoam bat. Literature killed me. I didn’t think I was that ill-read but jeez those were hard. And the chair designer… eww.
