I hate the way standard wiki deals with picture placement and flow of text so I just made a very terrible line to separate the illustrations from the rest of the text (because text was commin up all over the place where I didn't want it to be.
(do you seriously have to make tables to make images with captions come up on a line and other text to come up before and after it?)

This page needs some sprucing up. The example question in particular, seeing as how the answer given is incorrect (2 * .5 = .25. The correct answer would be 1, which isn't an option - which illustrates another negative for these sorts of tests). I think the guarantee that one of the answers listed is correct, and the ability to ferret out incorrect answers should probably be listed in the benefits/negatives section, probably as a negative. For example, the Nation Latin Exams use multiple choice tests, and I consistently managed to achieve a 90-somethingth percentile when taking it for this reason, despite having barely passed the course. Hardly an accurate reflection of what I'd learned. I suppose there's an argument to be made for it as a benefit, but I'm not the one to do so. --Xanzzibar 18:03, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Ummm...2x + 3 = 4, hmmm... 2x = 1, x = .5 (divide both sides by two). Do you know how to do math?--naryathegreat 22:32, Aug 19, 2004 (UTC)
You're correct, I was squaring for some reason. I was obviously having a brain fart day. No need to be insulting. --Xanzzibar 06:17, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)
