My first time through I got 8 out of 10 correct. When I decided to post it here, I went through it more carefully and got 10 out of 10 correct.

1. first timers get 8 out of 10 correct

    Logic backwards is cigol (var) which is a sort of Jewish sweet noodle pudding with raisins and just about anything else that tastes sweet which can be put into it. No, I don't have the recipe, but if you are a proponent of logic and a good cook I offer this up free of charge. On Thanksgiving, my Mom had two heavenly specialties. The aforementioned dish which can be spelled at least 5 different ways, and apple fritters.I think that persons who have a special dish should teach another family member how to cook it so their memory lives on in deliciousness.

    And, by the way, if they aren't a particularly good cook, let them choose a dish that they consider their best recipe and beg them to teach it to you. I assure you, you will add great happiness to their passing.

    Thanks Carl,
    I really like tests that I score well on. I really like tests like this or I really don't , it depends on how well I score . With multiple choice you can tip the odds in your favor by eliminating some of the choices.
    I scored 9 out of 10.
    A. I like tests with multiple choices.
    B.My score was high and I don't like this test.
    C Eliminating some of the choices means I like this test.
    D.none of the above
