I passed.

On the test, that is...

Didn't take it so I had no wrong answers.

Accuse me of lying if you must, but I got 4 right--4, 6, 7, and 10 (I was also 2 years short on 1),

I failed, but I actually got 3...(or two and a half, depending on how you want to score it)

I got 4 and 10, and I got one of the two answers for three. (Which I would argue should count as a full point since the question is stated in the singular, not as plural)

BTW, I got 2, 3, 6, and 10 correct...plus I'm giving myself double credit for #6, for moving the islands back into the right ocean. (That was hard! I had to tow them all the way around Cape Horn, since they wouldn't fit through the Ecuador Canal...) :nana
