millerx Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) and this is a test of what? To see how much free time you have? To see if you would actually do all this? To find out you are a personality type that thinks they know all the answers to everything? hmmmm... is this some app developed by a college student to have people do their work for them, and then they can turn in the work?
