Apparently the only difference between 8 and 1 is that 1 has a better short term memory.

And it is possible to score zero.

I cheated even more. I just edited Ernest's post and copied the "a href" tag to get his score. Abuse of Power.

Stupid test indeed. I'm too smart for the questions, and got a low score as a result.

For example:
"A farmer has 20 sheep, and all but 15 die. How many sheep are left?"
Nowhere does it say whether the count is made before or after disposal of the dead sheep (which are still sheep before being turned into mutton, leather, wool, and dogfood).
