I got mostly lucky. I cannot stand reading every single word on anything that is printed that I do not 100% devote myself to. And if I did devote myself to it, I would read it over and over probably 2-3 times at least. So I just got lucky and answered 2 of 3 questions right, could have skipped something important...

Maybe I am just good at multiple choice...
it iz not very scientific. I think it is a scalping test. How fast can you hit 2 buttons.

It's nice to read quickly but can you count letters ?
How many F letters do you see in this sentence

Finished files are the result
of years of scientific study
combined with the experience
of years...

The answer is.... not 3 !

A little OT but fun....
