I noticied a couple of strange things about this "test" and its answers.. the one you may be thinking of right now, is the last question.. where it seems Melissa's answer has been cut off.. (don't know what's going on there), and also the question about "The one historical event I wish I'd been at would be..".. it didn't seem Melissa's answer matched that question very well.. either she didn't read the question properly, or the question printed her was different to the one Melissa answered..
