    I think I went 10 for 10, but I will have to wait for the answers to know if that assumption is correct.

    Welcome!!!

    Yeah, that was the misunderstanding of the question. It should have read "What was the U.S. president's name in 1975."

    And the answer would be "Gerald Ford."

    I'm going to throw that question out, so I scored 8 out of 9.

    Well if you throw out 8 and 10 I got 8 right.
    If you left in 8 and 10 I would have 8 right and 2 wrong.
    Since I have just 8 right is it OK to say I got them all?

    You can post your answer later on when you get a chance.
    I will check it later and see if you are correct.

    Does that work for you?

    No.

    Once you catch onto the trick, the other nine all make sense. Number 8 very clearly has two answers, either of which could be correct depending on how you parse the grammar. A question with two corect answers is invalid unless the test-giver accepts either answer as correct.

    So if you don't like throwing out number 8, then I'll just score myself 9 out of 10.

    I would go with the answer to #8 as "The same as it is now." Ha! Ha!
    There isn't any problem that can't be handled thru the proper use of high explosives.
