The Plato question was the easiest one for me, but that's mostly because all I've been doing for the last few weeks is studying for my PhD exam where knowledge of Plato, Aristotle etc. will be one of the first things I'll be tested on :DL

Yeah I thought the last one was tricky(or second from last); the one about the dam or something and then says national defense in (). and still you are paying for anything that government does with taxes and people often complain about what there taxes pay for.

I think it should be timed as well to keep someone from simply opening another web page and cheating.

I'd say if you get 80% or higher fair and square then you did pretty good.
