Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and Aquinas! Who is gonna know that? Not me.

Edit: reading the "table" regarding those who held political office and ordinary citizens was interesting.

Hell, maybe if they curve the results I can land a B

Jay, that's exactly like my grandson, before his last semester before graduating last year. I said; F's what the hell is this shit? And, he said, "They were high F's". It took some intense study, but he managed to make up for it.

So, you got the important ones? Wonderful.

Actually, they were kinda lame questions, if you ask me? I normally Ace tests like that.
