It'd be nice if you could retake the test and get new questions.

This reminds me of when Rush Limbaugh boasted about the not needing a
"Real American" quiz to make sure that his listeners where "Real
Americans". Then the best informed man in America blew the quiz - he
thought Nelso Rockefelleer was the 1976 Republican VP nomination.

Speaking of boasting - 100%. Guess that silly poli-sci major counts
for something.
