Snapped ??? Naw.. He is simply aware of the mindset of too many of todays college kids.. Narcissistic, spoiled, and convinced of their entitlements. Before I retired and moved I was involved with IT at several New England Ivy League universities. One of my favorite run ins was with a student who demanded special services. "Do you KNOW who my Father IS !!!" "No. I'm sorry.. Don't you???" AND having seen the quality of Texas A&M's recent graduates. Roll Eyes

That's just Loaded with trick questions.

When was the last battle of the Civil war fought?

As IF that sucka is Over..

Ohh, history and geography wrecked me, I did great foR the first seven.. then it got hit and miss, then, pretty much all miss.

Well, dang, went back to get the grade, I can't remember if it exactly, its below thirty, but it wasn't below mid twenties.
Pesci, you da Man.

ummm, 10ths is .1, .01 hundredths, .001 thousanths, how in the world could .0001 be tenths? well, it would be ten thousanths, so I guess that works Undecided

.0001 be tenths? well, it would be ten thousanths

.0001 = One ten thousandth

at Ten one thousandths it stops Being ten thousandths measurements and is instead, 1 thousandth,,, .001

He wasnt wrong, he just didnt wanna type needlessly,, well,, apparently, leaving some to "do th math" will not suffice.

define 'needlessly'
we're not all machinists, so 10 thousanths, to me, is ten thousanths Grin

Not too bad for a Brit that has never studied US history, although the questions relating to the Balkans perhaps gave me an advantage. I answered the Romania question correctly, but I don't believe it is 'Balkan', maybe it was back then. What age group would this exam be aimed at?
