Rod, I finished that trivial Extra exam in 10 minutes and
I can assure you, with a EE degree and MENSA membership,
I didn't memorize the answers.

Cecil, I'm glad you passed your Extra exam without difficulty.

But I have to point out that there are many exam questions not
covered in EE (e.g., band breaks and OSCAR schemes); and
NONE of the exam questions are covered in MENSA. Thus
at least some memory work is needed.

I have three EE degrees (and could readily "qualify" for MENSA);
but I nevertheless studied quite diligently for the Extra exam (2001).
I was gratified to get 100%, but I readily admit taking more than
10 minutes.
