Joe did get a lot of them wrong. He must have been hung over or something.
He's usually sharp as a tack.

On the other hand, I only missed one or two and I did not spend two days
looking up the answers like you did, Jeff. I answered strictly from memory
and experience, both of which I have more of than you, Shen44 and otnmbrd
combined.

If your answers are any indication, I'd say your experience and memory
need work ..... coupled with the fact that you should have a copy of the
rules on your boat and only a fool would answer some of those questions
without checking the implications of the wording ..... course......nuff
said.

Joe missed far too many. Given that you answered first it was a
pretty pathetic showing on his part. Back to the classroom, Joe!

I figured that was the case, and you did better than the average joe.
I only looked up the tow light question, because I've had very
little experience with Inland tows for the last 4 years.

You missed two questions - one pretty easy, the other rather obscure.
However, insisting you're right when you're obviously wrong is a
real blunder - Its more important to understand your weaknesses and
compensate, than to take a random guess and and insist you're right.

So what! I did all the questions in less than 8 min. Took you experts 2
days to lookup and review the answers before you dared to answer. I
only miss 3-4. I think thats better than the 75% needed to pass a USCG
test.

And I havent studied in 10+ years

Your time tags say you spent an hour, about the same time I did. I
didn't want to answer first because it just spoils the fun!

7 wrong out of 18, but who's counting?
90% is the passing grade, Joe.

And I havent studied in 10+ years


Maybe this should be a wakeup call.
