    This all reminds me of the Kobayashi_Maru for some reason

    James T. Kirk took the test three times while he was at Starfleet Academy. Prior to his third attempt, Kirk surreptitiously reprogrammed the simulator so that it was possible to win -- which he did, though we are not told exactly how. He justified it by arguing that putting cadets in a no-win situation was cheating, and so he had to cheat in return. He received a commendation for original thinking.

    The fact that you told me that I HAD to choose was of little import. If I was in that situation I would definitely put the missus over my shoulder and carry my son out of the house.


    Threads have to be qualitative rather than quantitative if you're to have a good forum. Wouldn't you say.
    Yeah if had to choose between my penis or eyesight, I'd choose a booger.

    I try to get rid of those anyway.
    JP said for me to stop because you really don't get it.

    I thought he was being a bit h4r5h up until that post.
    I plan on beating him to death with his kids. I'll use them as a bludgeon on his face. -

    ST to the rescue!

    Also a bit like the 'Is hell exothermic or endothermic?' physics/theology question posted here recently - or when psychology students were asked; 'Is this a question?'

    All but one of the students wrote convaluted 1000 word answers whereas the student who wrote; 'Yes, if this is an answer'. got top marks.

    Thinking outside of constraints set by other, less intellectually gifted, folk is the only way society can better itself

    The story of my high school and college years.

    That is until you get that shit professor that actually counts words. There's nothing like being slighted for, not being absent of substance, but being 20 fucking words short.

    I still can't believe that a standardized test like the SAT has essay questions.

    One reviewer could grade it differently than another. Fucking stupid.

    Thanks for highlighting what was wrong with your flawed hypothetical situation.

    I did try alluding to it in the other thread, maybe I was too subtle
