Is there a typo in No. 23?

How come all of the changes happen after I complete the test?

By "closed book", I mean you can use pen, paper and (pocket) calculator, but not anything content-ful material that helps in answering the questions.

Sorry Nor Me; you may re-submit question 1 now.

It's a bit late now. Of course, I got the right answer.

Bah, too many trick questions and non-essenital trivia

But a good effort, Dom. Thanks for this anyways.

What I'm wondering is- can reinvest the part of my soul I've given to the game already, or does your institution require another piece? ;-)

The sheer amount of time I spent working out the solutions to some of these problems was monstrous. It almost certainly would have been time better spent on something more productive, but that's what everyone says about the time we spend playing games of Civilization anyhow, right?

aqualung/Thriller, there must be something wrong with your PMs because I've sent you like 5 in the past couple of days. I've been getting yours (including your answers).

Damn that's just a bit too hard for me. Some of them I have down pat (calculating combat odds, all the civs and their UUs), but most I just have no idea on. Great idea Dom, but I gotta bow out of this one.

Found myself guessing too much on the 'max shields/trade/productivity'etc possible. I rarely get far enough along in the game to see all the effects on these things anyway.

I agree! You should try MrWhereItsAt!!

How else can Dominae get enough data to create reasonable statistics. If only the cracks reply (the ones who know all the answer ), ...

But I do agree the test is hard! I made some 'calculated' guesses for about 80% of the questions!

Given the difficulty (ie, we guessed all the answers!), and the fact that there are an average of 6.1 possible responses per question, the average score will probably be 8.2 out of 50.

When I got to about question 25 I just suddenly felt like I was in an Honours lecture class for a subject I had never heard of before. That kinda depressed me a bit - not sure why. Are there really that many out there who know much of this by heart?

I think because many of us live in a culture where competition is ingrained in almost anything we consider "serious". Not knowing something is considered a sign of great weakness, despite the obvious fact that no one can reasonably be expected to know everything. To sit in a class where you're completely lost concerning the subject matter is not a good feeling, even when you're just auditing it!

This is I believe why many people refuse to take this test, even though it's just for fun and the grades mean nothing.

No, and that's kind of the point.

You have made me reconsider, Dom. I will think about it as I do the rounds looking for a new flat over the next few hours.... The thing that cheered me most was that you were referring to the editor!
