Yesterday I passed SCJP 5 with 95%. Among the questions there was a question from thread, that was of type drag and drop. I had to fill in the answers in 5 slots by dragging the choices into them. But in the code I found that sleep() is called without any try/catch block and there were no throws in the method signature aswell. So I was searching for compiler error, but couldn't find it So I had to assume that the code will compile fine and then answer it accordingly. I got one wrong from threads, so I am pretty much sure that this IS the question where I made mistake.

So is it possible to have such questions?

I guess everything is possible.
Are you absolutely sure the catch or specify requirement wasn't satifsfied by either a try/catch block or the method specifying that it throws the IterruptedException, or its super class Exception?
I wonder how, or even if, you can contact Sun about such mistakes.
 
All of the following truths are shameless lies. But what about this tiny ad:
