| If you want answers, there are at least two schemes that work, depending on what
you think the answer to #20 is.
I think the author probably meant the answer to 20 to be "E". I only know one
set of correct answers if that is so. The other possible answer for #20 is "A".

> 20. Standardized test : intelligence :: barometer :

> (E) all of the above
Question 20 was the tough one, given that barometers measure
air pressure. If you think standardized tests measure
intelligence, then your answer is none of the above. If you
think standardized tests measure something associated with
intelligence, then since air pressure and temperature and
wind-velocity are all aspects of the local weather you might
want to answer "A" or "B". It seems difficult to answer with
"E" because how some the answer be all of the above when each
of the above is tagged with "(only)".
Regardless of that...

I have a set of correct answers assuming the answer for #20 is "A".

2025.4 | my offering | TPOVC::BUCHANAN | | Fri Jan 19 1996 21:16 | 8 |
| Hmmm. My solution has the answer to 20 as B. Maybe some one can tell me
which of the questions I have not answered correctly. What is your
answer?
spoiler alert
solution: DADBE DDEDA BADBA DBAEB

2025.5 | anyone there? | TPOVC::BUCHANAN | | Thu Jan 25 1996 05:20 | 7 |
| I was pretty sure when I did my analysis that the answer to 20
could not be A. I would be interested to see the solutions hinted at in
the earlier replies, and would be happy to check them against the 20
criteria.
Cheers,
Andrew.

| dadbc ddeda badba dbabe -- question 20 is E
dadbc ddeda badca dbeda -- question 20 is A
YMMV

2025.7 | -.1 doesn't work | TPOVC::BUCHANAN | | Sat Jan 27 1996 02:46 | 10 |
| The answers in -.1 score 80% only :-) Questions 3,5,8 & 12 have not
been answered correctly. If you change the response to question 5 to
e instead of c, then the first solution in -.1 becomes correct,
resembling my solution except for the debatable permutation of the answers
to questions 19 & 20.
Has anyone found any problem with my solution? Does anyone have any
other candidate solutions to propose?
Andrew.

> DADBEDDEDABADBADBABE
I don't know how I missed the first one, but I did.
Now which of them is right? It's obvious the intent of the designer
is that intelligence is multi-faceted, cannot be pinned down in a single
measurement, etc, etc. So as .2 says, the answer *must* be e, although I don't
know how to interpret the 'only's in Q20, pointed out in .3.
But then you read the 20 letters as a sentence...
Andrew.

2025.9 | typo, sorry | GEMGRP::PIEPER | | Mon Jan 29 1996 09:39 | 2 |
| Sorry, that was a typo. Should have been "e" for Q5, not "c", as you point out.
