Got wrapped around the axle on Iraq casualties vs deaths, and though I got the Dow question, it's still one I could see people missing, given fluctuations. Good thing they didn't ask the price of a barrel of oil! <BR/><BR/>I missed Kosovo as wellBullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01337084304437634522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3312865765940195323.post-17353163116681643902008-07-22T01:52:00.000-04:002008-07-22T01:52:00.000-04:00I only got 9 out of 12, but two of the three I got...I only got 9 out of 12, but two of the three I got wrong were the statistics questions. THis was no surprise, as I'm very bad at stats. In both cases I erred on the pessimistic side.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12840640280453062353noreply@blogger.com
