Instructions
Read each question carefully. Answer all questions.

Time limit
2 hours. Begin immediately.

History
   Describe the history of the Papacy from its origins to the present day, concentrating especially, but not exclusively, on its social, political, economic, religious and philosophical impact on Europe, Asia, America and Africa. Be brief, concise and specific.

Medicine
   You have been provided with a razor blade, a piece of gauze, and a bottle of scotch. Remove your appendix. Do not suture until you work has been inspected. You have fifteen minutes.

Public Speaking
   2500 riot-crazed aborigines are storming the classroom. Calm them. You may use any ancient language except Latin or Greek.

Biology
   Create life. Estimate the differences in subsequent human culture if this form of life had developed 500 million years earlier, with special attention to its probable effect on the English Parliamentary System. Prove your thesis.

Music
   Write a piano concerto. Orchestrate and perform it with flute and drum. You will find a piano under your seat.

Psychology
   Based on your knowledge of their works, evaluate the emotional stability, degree of adjustment, and repressed frustrations of each of the following:

       * Alexander of Aphrodisis
       * Rameses II
       * Hammuarabi.

   Support your evaluation with quotations from each man's work, making appropriate references. It is not necessary to translate.

Sociology
   Estimate the sociological problems which might accompany the end of the world. Construct an experiment to test your theory.

Engineering
   The disassembled parts of a high-powered rifle have been placed on your desk. You will also find an instruction manual, printed in Swahili. In 10 minutes, a hungry bengal tiger will be admitted to the room. Take whatever action you feel necessary. Be prepared to justify your decision.

Economics
   Develop a realistic plan for refinancing the national debt. Trace the possible effects of your plan in the following areas:

       * Cubism
       * the Donatist Controversy
       * the Wave Theory of Light

   Outline a method for preventing these effects. Criticize this method from all possible points of view. Point out the deficiencies in your point of view, as demonstrated in your answer to the last question.

Political Science
   There is a red telephone on the desk beside you. Start World War III. Report at length on its socio-political effects if any.

Epistemology
   Take a position for or against truth. Prove the validity of your stand.

Physics
   Explain the nature of matter. Include in your answer an evaluation of the impact of the development of mathematics on science.

Philosophy
   Sketch the development of human thought. Estimate its significance. Compare with the development of any other kind of thought.

General Knowledge
   Describe in detail. Be objective and specific.

The papacy:

The papacy started as long time ago. It seems the Jews and the Nazis and others weren't quite up to the task of fucking up everything in the world, the rest was left up to the Catholics.

Medicine:

I'll save that for last for obvious reasons, I will have a taste of the scotch at this time though.

Public Speaking:

I may use any language ? Simple, use Smith & Wessonese or Kalishnikovese. Works every time, ask the pope. Rugerish works as well.

Biology:

Been ther done that. Have created a few monsters and at least four new species' of microorganisms by not cleaning house. It would have been indeed difficult to have these orgasnism(s) evolve 500 million years ago, because beer and a few other modern items are required for it's production. Nonetheless the effect of it on the English Parlimentary System are easily predictable. There would be no English Parlimentary System at all. The human body simply didn't have the immune system to deal with such infections. Note : Today doctors strive to reduce the immune system to the point of vulnerability to my pets.

Music:

OK I got the concerto, and this ain't too bad a piano, but where are the flute and drums ? I guess we can't complete the exam until YOU are ready, but admittedly I'll need a bit of time to grow two more pairs of arms if you want this all done at once. This really should've been in the textbook, we need better teachers.

Psychology:

Alexander the Great you mean ? Typical megalomaniac. Classic case, ou see it every day. Probably a repressed homosexual.

Rameses II, well at least he remembered what his daddy told him. He was an unrepressed dominant, possibly the effect of having all those slaves. Very similar to Alex up there. They both had a fetish for gold.

Hammuarabi, I think we need a spellcheck, but to the point. He was the inventor of the modern legal system. Hailed by theocrats and bureaucrats worldwide for inventing the method of writing law that makes no sense, does not accomplish it's intended goal and is so interpretable that one could be embuggered for failing to pay a debt of three or more of their units of currency. Note that Hamurabi had nothing to do with inventing the debt system and fiat currency. It was simply too long ago for that. Not really sure if that law would stnd up in his courts if the currency was worthless. But that was not a question on tyhe test and is therefore beyond the scope of this text.

Sociology :

The end of the world will pose no problems for anyone. I see it as going down a hillside covered with a sheet of ice, once you get to the bottom you have no problems. All psychological and physiological problems will be instantly cured. That's why world "leaders" are pushing for it so much. Currently I am awaiting the last component of my project for this test, the doomsday machine. I have ordered it on eBay and it is due Tuesday or Wednesday. If e could meet next weekend for the final phase of the test, I am sure I'll be ready. Right before the final test, I will perform the required self-appendectomy.

Engineering :

Swahili ? Do you have any idea who the hell you are talking to ? I don't need no instructions. If it is made out of metal and shoots bullets I'll have it working in notime. By the way, you didn't mention any ammunition, therefore I assume I am to make friends with the tiger. I hope you fed him. Also, please advise just where and when this phase of the test is to be administered.

Economics :

Throwing me a trick question I see. It is plain to see that economics has no bearing on the Cubist theory or the Donatist Controversy. However, refinancing the national debt would have an effect on wave theory, as how it relates to wave propogation. That is, at some point in time, light waves will propogate from the end of a tunnel. Note that conducting an appropriate experiment to prove this is not compatible with other experiments required in this test. This one must be done first.

Political Science :

You are indeed a crafty testwriter ! That is exactly how I'll complete the earlier mentioned test, to report on the effect of the end of the world. Thought you would catch me there didn't you ? I may have been born on Thursday, but not last Thursday.

Epistemology :

I should get double credit for this one. I am for truth and lies at the same time. I am truthful with friends and fuck everyone else. The truth does indeed set you free, because you are fucking bad enough not to have to lie to anyone, but then there are entities out there to which you must lie. That is a form of capitulation, but we gotta do what we gotta do.

Physics :

The true nature of matter is that it does not really exist. It is only our percetion of it as matter that makes us call it matter. Matter is actually energy. What we percieve as matter is energy that is traveling at the same or close (sub delta C) velocity and vector as we are. The energy we percieve is matter in another of a whole bunch of universes, an infinite number in fact. This fact is ignored by the scientific community because it makes them feel small. Prove of this is in the Doppler effect, plain and simple.

The development of mathematics has actually had a detrimental effect on our ability to understand science. They spend years teaching complex formulae to kids which explain basic concepts. Of course the invention of numbers was inevitable in the development of humanity, but they went too far. For example I could design an entire electronic circuit without calculus or even a calculator. It is a matter of breaking it down, which admittedly uses numbers, but, to understand how the devices work together is like mathematics without numbers. Ohm's law is a human invention, it simply quntifies, it does not define these laws of nature.

It is problematic to see the relationships in the universe and not tend to quntify it with numbers, and yet use numbers in everday life. Very few people strive to do this, so in effect, mathematics has had a detrimental effect on science.

Philosophy :

Human thought begins as animal thought. A baby wants nothing more than to eat and be warm, he learn over time, and grows from that stage. In my estimation, when allowd and encouraged to reach it's potential, human though is immortal. I think that after a human dies, that part of them that is more than the sum of their parts is what lives on. I believe that upon death one is stripped of name, because he is indeed stripped of everything corporeal. The name is corporeal. The gender, the race, the religion even, all corporeal.

I will now compare it with animal thought. This could be called instinct, but sometimes I am not so sure. I think an animkal's interaction with humans might actually raise it above the norm of the proverbial dumb animal. There have been cases where pets saved their owner's life, and even on this board, look for 'Dumb animals' or something like that. Dog never bit her but grbbed her arm in his mouth because this injured bird she was fixing up had fallen out of whatever.

Human interaction is what does it. It is not the number of brain cells we have that makes us human, it is how we use them. People's interaction with a human baby is (hopefully) more intense and has more effect. Thus we become human, thanks to our progenitors, which much to their dismay, are frequently superior to us unfortunately.

General Knowledge :

I assume you mean my general knowledge. Well I am well versed in many aspects of physics, chemistry and optics at the very least. A bit weak in chemistry. Other physics have been applied, and what makes sense makes sense and since the internet I know alot more of course, but the core of it came when in the 60s, they had this encyclopedia, you got a volume every month on like a payment plan. I read the whole thing almost every month. I skipped the nature shit about some fish that is ½ way across the world, I wanted nukes, helicopters, motors, all that. And we are talking like seven years old.

If I asked my Mother for the definition of a word she would punch me in the stomach, so it was a good idea to have a dictionary there, hurt her hand F_____ B____ ! But she likes being called that. But really, she forced me to educate myself, and I knew how to read before kindergarden. And at the time I thought everybody did.

To be objective and specific, well I guess I'll start with :

If I were a teacher, first of all I wouldn't want to teach anything in which I was not interested. I used to abhorr (sp) history. Only now am I getting a bit interested in it. If I were a teacher of a bunch of different subjects I could explain hy this is important. To get the students interested.

So at this time, let's say I am charged with teaching history. That would be the most difficult for me. What do I do ? The first week or so I must get them to understand, if you can't learn from history you make the same mistakes that were made in the past. How we got here, how people lived. How it was different without ipods and cellphones, or even electric lights. Ever go camping ? How would you like to live that way all the time ?

This country was colonies of England, and they started taxing the crap out of us, ever hear of the Boston Tea Party ? That was meant to tell the powers that be that we were fed up with their crap. It didn't work. This is but a small part of just how the US became the US. There is alot more to it, and if you are not interested in the origin of your country, it's heritage and history, you aren't interested in much.

Those of you who are totally disinterested in the subject can move to the back of the classroom. There will be discussions and everything, you must pay attention during specific lectures, and use the textbook and you can get a C. I'll pretty much leave you alone if that's what you want.

So up front we have discussions, later possibly somebody from the back might pop up and get interested. That would be good. Doing the required reading and passing the test is good enough, but to get the A would take a bit more.

Now this approach cannot be taken in math or science. Things like that.

__________________________________________________________________

Take this oppotunity to laugh if you want. I have seen this before and I admit I a have contemplated responding to it. I just happened to be ready willing and able at the moment.

Now when and where is the final phase of this test ? I'll Google for auto-appendectomy, but I am stiull waiting for the UPS truck with the final part to my doomsday machine. It should be here next week, the seller has a very high rating too, so I think all will go well. Think I'll pass ?

Okay I read the entire test, understood most of it, and did so with time to spare for a snack.


BTW, the nice people in the white clothes should be here Monday to take you someplace quiet and pretty so you can take some tests.... it should be fun.

You weren't objective and specific, and you have absolutely no typos in your answer except the lack of capitalization, accordingly you answer is disqualified.

And you thought this was easy.

I remember early lit.  It was a picture book of cave paintings.  The hard part was writing an essay about the book in the same system.
