Snyder filed a lawsuit in federal court against the Salt Lake City suburb for allowing other pre-meeting prayers but refusing to let him offer a prayer addressed to "Our Mother, who art in heaven." ... Among other things, the prayer asked for deliverance "from the evil of forced religious worship now sought to be imposed upon the people ... by the actions of misguided, weak and stupid politicians, who abuse power in their own self-righteousness."

March 01, 2003 40 of 236 questions completed

March 01, 2003 40 of 236 questions completed, with 18 (45%) correct. If you guessed randomly, you would expect 13 correct answers. You did 36% better than random guessing.

It took two hours. Since some questions have three choices and others two, it's trickier than it might appear to come up with these numbers. Also, I took a figurative whack at one of my pet peeves. To wit:

If you took a ten-question true/false test, and got five right, you got 50%. Someone who got six right got 60%. But they didn't do 10% better than you. They did 20% better than you ((6-5)/5). You, however, didn't do 20% worse than them. You did 17% worse ((5-6)/6). But common usage is to quote the difference in percentages as the percentage difference. That's balony, and we won't be doing that on my web site.
