Test

[Dave Fielder]

I hate the ones who come out after the test and say: "Well that was hard work" knowing full well that they have revised for a billion hours beforehand.

My favourite multiple choice was in my history O level mock - I was a tad surprised to find a set of multiple choice questions on my O level paper but I stuck with it, then I came across the following:

Q: Who invented Hargreave's Spinning Jenny, was it
A - Bill Smith
B - James Hargreave
C - Hugh Fitzgerald
D - James Watt

At this point I was dumbfounded, how could this be a test, unless it was only aimed at weeding out the incalculably thick. Still it's the education system, right - it must know what it's doing. having now finished the entire paper in about 45 minutes and feeling pretty confident I'd scored at least an A, I started reading all the blurb - there's really not a lot else to read in an exam other than the paper and your answers - at the top of the paper, where I spied the letters C.S.E.

Oh lord clearly something had gone dreadfully wrong and the wrong papers had been issued, up went my hand. "Sir, sir, there's been a terrible mistake". . .

Turns out the stupid bloody school had decided its pass rates would be improved if it put everyone in the 'Steady B' and lower O level steams through the CSE matriculation instead of risking possible poor results.

I thus had to spend an entire 'nother year at school re-sitting my O levels - this time as actual O levels so I could then go on and take A levels - which were necessary to get to university and the drug and alcohol drenched lifestyle I felt I was owed.

But I mean, how do you not pass such a multiple choice - it's shocking.

Anyway the only test here is just how big a thread we can make a no message thread be.

So we may not know how long the string is but we can damn well make the thread as long as we want, gentlemen to your keyboards.

Based entirely on the strategy of taking multiple choice tests and using no other information, the correct answer is C, Hugh Fitzgerald.

With you! And they are always the blighters who want a full, in-depth analysis of each exam question which convinces me I scored even less than I thought I had.

All police promotion exams are multi-guess. That is sergeant and inspector, above that they don't have exams.

Probably explains an awful lot.

For the D&D players:

Today I have mostly been researching Explosive Runes...

[d_Guy]

Aren't explosive prior to being runes?

[fsn]

I think Explosive Priors were introduced as a Cleric sub-type in D&D6.

D&D6 hasnt come out yet, nice try Satan!

Combustible Constobles are in 5e as a Paladin subclass, and Volitile Vicors are Clerical Subclass, as are Flamable Flagellants.

Are there also Vixen Nuns to strain ambiguity?

Yup - that'll do it.
