It would be of great interest to a administer a 50-question round to
each of a large number of "diversity" and "protected minority"
students versus a European-descended whitebread baseline. Uncle Al
proposes they will overall average 40% correct - worse than random
chance.

Uncle Al pulled 32/51, 63%. That is why Uncle Al is a chemist not a
physicist.

The foregoing will undoubtedly elicit a dung-throwing tantrum from the
monkey cages. To criticize is to volunteer. Do the experiment - meat
vs. machine - then decry the unfairness of objective evaluation
potentially independent of all skills but a mouse click within a broad
area of display.

God save us from the congenitally inconsequential.

I got 6 out of 8. (I got the first one right without knowing that the game
was to pick the "real" paper over the nonsense. I suppose that puts me at
5.5 out of 8.) That puts me at 69%.

Or we can figure 5 out of 7: that's 71%. Or the actual 6 of 8 or 75%.

It's tiring to look at those titles so I gave it up.

I't important for one to quit when he is ahead.
