He speaks the truth -- I remember that one also.
The passing score on those tests was 75%, but you only had to know the
answers to 50% in order to pass. There were four choices to each
question; two were of the quality of the one Jim quotes. So if you
answered the half you knew, you had a 50-50 chance with the rest of them
by throwing out the ridiculous answers and random guessing between the
two that remained. (Actually, you could do better yet with even less
real knowledge by using a little basic testmanship.)
