Am I missing something? How can I get 20-25 right if there are only 17 questions?

A Jewish Buddhist? You mean like an Islamic Catholic?

About question 2: It's C and not D. D negates C ( which is above), making D false.

Anyway I liked no 11. :)

Ummm, okay ... if you so insist, however ...



A purely subjective and hypothetical response open to every possible permutation and requires minute mental exercise:


What if - just for supposition's sake - it were actually that 'D' is the correct answer and not 'C'; thereby 'C' negating 'D' and in turn becoming the incorrect answer by default?

OR

What if - just for supposition's sake - 'C' and 'D' are both incorrect; thereby negating each other's very existence and allowing 'E' (of which did not exist until the dark matter / anti-matter of both 'C' and 'D' merged, thereby negating each other and allowing 'E' to evolve ...) to become the default answer?

OR

What if - just for supposition's sake - 'C' and 'D' are both correct; thereby reinforcing each other's very existence and allowing both to become the default answer by virtue of their 'Oneness'?

;)

Score one point for each correct answer, subtract one point for each wrong answer. Add your total number of right answers to the total number of wrong answers, divide by the total number of questions on the test, then wonder why you've tried to follow it this far.

:rofl2: Good, clear instructions:1orglaugh
