Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?

Morons.

Good luck with your quals. Glad I have those behind me. Now all I have to do is finish my little paper and I am done.

I got 100%.

Yeah, the "public good" answer was poorly worded, IMO, I agree. I knew what they wanted, so picked the right answer even though I was not technically sure it was right (I wanted to see "non-rival" and "non-exclusive").
