One wrong answer to the twisty questions takes away your right to vote. For example, I'm an electrical engineer, designing microprocessors, but even the first question threw me for a loop:

"Draw a line around the number or letter of this sentence."

What? Huh? Is "a" a reference to a singularity, therefore is it to be meant in its "numeric" sense?

It is only after going back over it did I realize this was question #1, therefore the item to "draw a line around" was the index number preceding the sentence.

To take away your right to vote over this? B.S. I want qualified voters, but this tells me nothing about the ability to be a competent citizen.

>> What? Huh?

Yeah, we engineers suck at this sort of thing. We don’t sort potatoes very well, either, as the joke goes. Hell, we can’t even agree on the *spelling* of potato(e).

Anyway, you don’t need to be taking time away from designing microprocessors for something as silly as *voting*.

If you could prove you completed 5th grade you didn’t have to take the test.
