#3440 RE: lentinman #3438

You're funny, Len. I got all those right except #20 (the PHD ones). I must have, at a minimum, an undergraduate degree in Chemistry. Well, maybe an A in Chemistry in high school did it. LOL! I know exactly what you are saying though. Those particular questions DO NOT test a person's senses.

One of the ones you mentioned, #10 is one where I would have picked pineapple and mayonnaise because I love that combination with canned tuna, but I chose the right one (pineapple and soy sauce) because I know that it's a combination that Chinese restaurants use.

However, as far as I'm concerned, #10, #11, #12, #13, #19 and #20 are ridiculous questions and measure NOTHING EXCEPT whether you have an education in that field. Who on earth would know that crap except maybe some bozo with a PHD in (oh, I don't know) Chemistry?

I got 16 out of 20. My wrong ones were:

#7 "the the"
#8 the colored words with the wrong color names (2 wrong)
#15 Sound intensities- The baby crying was a surprise. It shoulda' been the most intense noise- LOL!
#20 Limbic-memory? GEEEEEZ
