very cool. i remember my siste picked me one of these a few back, and i felt like dirt for a long time afterwards. really puts one level into perspective
The only time I was ever hurt by a test was this one time in Summer School where I got a paper cut during a Basic test, but I still got an A on it, it just hurt me throughout the whole test. I think I was the 2nd one to finish it.This would be pre-visual Basic, BTW.
The point is that these questions could have been written out in the same way that the answers were. Just like when a good speaker in an Audtitorium repeats a question over the PA of that from an audience member who may or may not have been loud enough for the rest of the crowd to here him.
well, in the word Unix, the "i" is broken, taking the Kindergartener approach. I really don't understand the pick and choose probability. Complex Math was never really my forte. I went with the x^n+y^n=z^n equation from that french guy. And 2 PM on Sunday in San Francisco? I'd better get my butt to the Niner's game. What makes me really sad is that this basically crushes my dreams of working for google. Do I really have to be a member of MENSA to be a google engineer? I mean, do I have to have an IQ of over 160 to be a google-worthy coder? Me and my stupid 135. (Notices the irony of incorrect grammar.)
