colinfahey.com — "On 2003 April 5th, a Saturday, at the age of 33, I threw away my dignity, mocked my Ivy League education, disgraced my Master's degree, and proved, in just over three hours, that humans can do things "The System" didn't anticipate." From a while ago, but a clever and in-depth analysis worth reading.

I missed it, too, but in the text it says that he got two right by accident. It also says the "200 points for filling out your name" is incorrect as they simply don't bother calculating the score if it's all blank. So, I don't have a good answer for you, except that he failed to miss them all, by using a not-so-smart 'random' answering algorithm for his math questions. He should've answered them all as "-99999i cos(tomato)" or something

Ha that was a very fun read, he even failed at failing ROFL, he got 2 right.

Umm, no. They integrated the SAT II Writing test (which most universities required anyway) into the SAT I, so instead of 800 Math + 800 Verbal it's 800 Math + 800 Verbal + 800 Writing.

The most bizarre test of all is the LSAT. There is no absolute right or wrong in many answers, but you get it wrong if the correct answer happens to be not yours. Here is an example: Two persons just got off the plane. One took a shower last night. The other didn't take a shower for a week. Who will take a shower first when they get home? Your answer: The person that didn't take a shower for a week. Wrong. If he didn't take a shower for a week, he probably doesn't care if he showers or not. He can wait another week.Your answer: The person that took a shower last night. Wrong. He just had a shower last night, so he's still fresh. The person that didn't take a shower for a week is itching like an athlete's foot.That's the kind of test LSAT offers. Bizarre? Indeed.
