Im pretty happy with 84%. I smoked the second half but had to take my time with the gearing Q's.

Good fun though.
Oh and Im a Marketing student with really only theoretical knowledge, so not to bad I think.

What does it mean anyway?
Can I now re-profile the cam shafts in my rotary? I reckon I couldn't have done it without the background i gained from changing the spark plugs in my diesel.

Beats me where i got this from, but, apparently monkeys get on average 13% on 5 question multi-choice tests.
Yes that is lower than statistically probable....
