Ok, have you finished? No fair peeking unless you're done...

If you answered "A" to questions 1-4 and "D" to question 5, you aced the test. Go treat yourself to a have a low fat, sugar free double latte with whipped cream. Better yet, hold the cream and add some caramel syrup. Or do both the cream and the syrup; you've earned it!

If you answered something other than the key listed above on one question, you did decently. 80% will get you through secondary education. You probably should wait until you ace one of these before visiting Starbucks.

If you missed 2-4 questions, you are either without an internet connection, been up all night for the past two nights, under experimental observation or a professional entertainer. Don't touch any caffeine.

If you missed all the questions, maybe you should try cheating next time.
