Pop Quiz #3

Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls please clear your desk of all notebooks, papers and digital assistants and prepare yourselves for an FCN Pop Quiz! You may, of course, keep your computer on, just don't click on the answer hyperlinks until you've answered all the questions. That includes you, Team Cheese; no fair clicking on the hyperlinks until after taking the quiz. Simply select the best solution you can, maybe scratch a notation on a pad of paper to signify your decision and force a modicum of consistency, and look at the bottom of the post for the answers.

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

If you answered "C" to questions 1-4 and "A" to question 5, you aced the test. That's pretty good; you did well enough to enroll in a European school.

If you answered something other than the key listed above on one question, you did decently. I hear an American private school calling your name.

If you missed 2-4 questions, you are a product of the American public schooling system. Not a lot you can do about that, buddy. I have some controlled substances that help ease the pain, but you are pretty well situated in your peer-defined education. Enjoy it.

If you missed all the questions, you should try cheating next time or join me in America's higher education system. Or you could go back to day care. Or you could leave a comment disputing the answers and bemoaning the quality of our pop quiz.
