benji scored 22 out of 24, and they're saying i got question 7 wrong but at the same time they are facing a crisis of depression amongst soldiers and high suicide rates and have basically bulldozed all of iraq and afghanistan's problems into a communal grave or else into syria somehow.........

yep, i remember when i was a kid, telling my father and my bro that 1 + 1 was indeed equal to 3....... it wasn't long after that, as an 11 year old, that i was doing university level complex calculus and algebra....... later on, after that, as a 12, 13, 14, etc, year old, i just settled down to basic algebra...... and having become apparently even dumber at algebra, it looks like benji got question 12 wrong, question 12 is:

x2 - y2
______   =  ?       apparently the answer is  x + y      NOT   x - y as benji postulated
 x - y  

let's solve:  imagining x = 1 and y = 1 also:   1 - 1/1-1 = 0........  1+1=2..........1-1=0  


clearly the u.s. military got that one wrong too by the looks of it and benji is right again........

anyway, we have to tabulate benji's responses to tell you what they're good for in america's military.....
