I couldn't figure that one out either. I hate analgrams. They either strike me as obvious, i.e. whatever it is just jumps out at me with no effort, or I can't figure them to save my soul; there's nothing in between.

A couple of other experiences I've had with the Princeton based Educational Testing Service in particular lead me to view all such tests slightly askance. In the last instance, some clown from ETS came to Norwich and wanted us all to take a beta of a new test for diplomats, the idea being to listen to instructions in English and then take a Russian comprehension test and the guy brought in a tape recorder from the mid fifties when they first sold tape recorders to the public and nobody could understand the stuff in English, much less Russian. I got up and walked out halfway through the instructions with some harsh words to the turkey on the way.

I don't blame you, maybe if they warmed that little pointy thing up a bit, it wouldn't be so bad.

I thought they just had wire recorders then.

I think that is why they call it, "wearing a wire".

A lot of people don't remember why, if someone keeps saying the same thing, over and over, they will be told they sound like a "broken record".
