    Princeton University has given this test for the last 15 years and until now I have never heard of anyone getting a perfect 140 points on it.
    You sir must be a genius

Well let’s see 10 points per question plus two extra credit questions left me with 10 out of 140.

I got Six Toe Joe. Think I actually met him a few years back out at the Planktown Market, he didn’t have shoes on and yes he had six toes.

What the heck I thought I was good at algerber.
