Comments on: Answering The Obvious http://steelwhitetable.org/2006/07/30/answering-the-obvious/ OK, so I was wrong for once in my life! Shut up.

I aced the aptitude test so well then bombed the french tests. I did the french written and got a C, where they needed a B. But they let that slide cause I did so well on the aptitude test. Then to prove that my french is rusty, I bombed the oral as well. Works out though because the salary for water traffic controler maxed out at 33k a year. Cool.

That's what my dad was for the Coast Guard for Halifax Harbour. I took a test for an Air Traffic Controller. My eyesight was too poor be considered, but the written test was like that, too; tricky questions. > water traffic controler.

That reminds me of when I took a test to become a water traffic controler. 90% of the questions on the "aptitude" test were exactly like that, trying to make you answer wrong or to not actually answer the question they're actually asking. Like: Boat a is 15 meters from the shore which is the east and 20 meters from boat b which is to the west. If boat a is traveling south at 5knots and boat b is traveling north at 8knots, how far is boat b from the shore to the east in five minutes of travel if the shore is a straight line? I made that example myself, so it's pretty bad. It's just a bunch of words to confuse you for no reason. I answered it correctly.

Interesting, though, how the power of suggestion, of a semblance of logic, can fool people. I got it right.
