Crazy statistics from Gamblor's key...

Some startling statistics on a couple questions

Question #1: 61.3% guessed the wrong answer (B) while only 4.8% guessed the correct answer (A) 
Question #18: 66% guessed the same wrong answer (C), while only 3.3% guessed the correct answer (A).

 

Call me crazy but something is fundamentally wrong with a question that less than 1/20th of all test takers get the answer correct while 2/3 of the test takers all guess the same wrong answer!

Thanks for pointing that out, hopefully someone can protest those. It's hard to protest as a mail in since they're both in-basket questions, otherwise I would say send me the questions word for word as best you remember and I would try to dissect it. I got C for 18 as well, don't remember what the question was.

I think the answer to question 1 is actually B, we'll see if the protest works....

I hope some people protest question 18 the same way I diD.. Id spell it out but some of you would start crying that I'm giving away answers.. More or less the scenario of the question was not established.. Depending on the location, choice A could have clearly been a wrong answer.. If anyone wants to mail in protest I'll explain why, PM me..
