Yes--the Learned League sample questions. Though they change them randomly, apparently. So that question isn't there anymore. But I think it was "What is the area bounded by the function Y=X^2, the line Y=0, the line X=0, and the line X=2." I only got maybe a fifth or a quarter of the questions right, but I got that one. And there were a couple that I *should* have gotten, in that when I saw the answer, I realized I knew it.

It's fun to try to remember, and more fun to figure one out, or come up with an educated guess (or just a wild-goose-chase guess) that works out. There's also a Best Wrong Answer consolation prize, though the odds against getting that are great--- it used to be called Funniest Wrong Answer, and Thorsten awards it only for some questions. Then at the end of the season the winner for the season is named.

Would you like to join Learned League next time a season opens up? I'd trust you to follow the rules (1. Don't forfeit. 2. Don't cheat.). The first season is free, and the ones after that aren't exactly pricey, if you find you're into it. Let me know, and I can invite you. No obligation. (We can invite one person, or maybe it's two?, each season, but I rarely use my invites.)

I find it amusing, but I already have more hobbies than I can keep up with! Thanks for the offer, though.
