Reminds me of a "quiz" we had to take here recently at work.  Sit through 
a 15 minute online presentation and then answer 4 questions.  The 4 
questions were on the level of:

1.  A duck is:

a) a fish
b) a cat
c) a duck
d) a dog

And if I were being facetious about it, I'd also add:

e) none of the above
f) all of the above

;-)
