I don't believe I've ever had anyone get that question wrong before.
muddgirl: sorry, no shame here. It's not a true/false test; it's 5 true/false questions amounting to a few points on a much larger and very carefully considered test. They're in true/false format partly because that affords a little variety, but mainly because those questions have true/false answers, which should be quickly and assuredly recognized at this point. There's no "Aw, you sort of knew what's going on" partial credit that's appropriate.
Yeah, I kinda figured you were teasing and gave you a serious answer anyway. For the record, I'm not taking any points off on such a silly question; I was just... surprised. Generally that one gets answers like "So True!!" or "Hell yeah!" or even ":)".
