    It's true, I'm studying for the GRE (graduate record examination) and one of the questions was an analogy question that went like this:

    Philately: Stamps::
    A) Calligraphy: Pens
    B) Cartography: Maps
    C) Chronology: Events
    D) Numismatics: Coins
    E) Geriatrics: Ailments


    Of course, the correct answer is D. :hail: :hammer:

    Just thought you'd all get a kick out of that.

    AHHHHH!
    That is pretty neat...
    All the questions I get that ever have to deal with coins, are about the three little girls who had coins, and one girl has 50% of the quarters that the other girl has, and the other girl has 3 times as many dimes as the first girl, and if the first girl has 75 cents, 2 quarters, 2 dimes, and one nickel, according to this information, how many dimes does girl 3 have, and how many quarters does girl two have?
