Once you've taken the test lets not discuss the results until page two so as to not give away the correct answer.

I had to take a similar test for statistical process control class. That's where I learned that 100% inspection is 70% effective.

And that's the reason I won't get on a plane. :D

And at least two guys show why this test works because they didn't see the part about not talking about the results until page 2. ;) :D

No, that is just lack of reading...
I get it all the time doing installs..
The people ask what I am doing...
I tell them...
Reading the manual to see if anything has changed...
They look funny at me...
See it was the first thing out of the box... ;)
