On some, I'd really like to know the answer. Also...why is the title of the article 10 questions but it has 11 in the quiz? _________________________ I don't need any more negativity in my life...be positive and helpful people or I will kick you in the shins!!!

The blades start turning in 60 seconds. What do you do? Which can you swim faster in, water or syrup? I would have left the interview after a couple of these.... _________________________ Societies that do not find work in and of itself "pleasing to God and requisite to Man," tend to be highly corrupt.

The Minion Platinum Poster Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 832	I was only able to do 6. I passed 3. Goofy questions. I don't understand how they justify a correct or incorrect answer. Some of the questions are hypothetical, if not all. The answers they deem are correct are only correct for them, not everyone. Stupid Google. (kidding, I love Google ;)) _________________________ In order to insult me, I must value your opinion...nice try though.

Why is Tanq only sold by the case? Why is Aquanet classified as a breathing hazzard? _________________________ Opinions can be considered as coming from anywhere but my employer. CAMS
