Don't feel too bad, guys. Here is a true tale I related to one of the other contestants.......... This contest was as much a lesson in following directions as anything else. My high school and college years were in the 60's. Obviously, there were no computers or even calculators. If you needed research, you had to go to the library and search the "stacks" for what you needed, and mathematical computations had to be performed with either a slide rule or in longhand. Naturally, the dictionary was your best friend. I still remember a mid-term exam my Econ 101 professor gave us back in 1966. It was 25 questions, and knowing his grading scale, you had to answer 20 correctly (80%) to get a passing grade. The test paper began with the usual instructions............"read everything before doing anything". Most of the kids went right to work answering the questions, but if you had read everything first as you were instructed, you would have arrived at #25 which directed you to sign the top of your paper and you were finished. There were only 5 of us who followed the instructions, and the rest of the class failed.
No computers, what!! Just kidding, I was around back then too!! Thanks again for the contest, had loads of fun with it. :thumb:
