Now you're just showing off.
I was wondering, how come you only spent time on the chit chat forum? Do you like to hand out here with the happy few?

What is the maximum points you can get without trying?
What is the minimum you need to answer to get above 100points?
Assuming you need 50% of the maximum points to pass, what is the laziest way to pass?
This are the most humorous questions I have ever seen :D
Nice, congratulation!Quote:
