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
;-)
