More types of tests: find-n-grind (you are allowed to use a formula sheet) drunk-n-flunk (obvious) try-n-die ("Maybe you are clueless, but give it that old college try") try-n-cry (same as above, but not as bad) joke-n-choke ("It'll be a piece of cake, hee hee") wail-n-fail ("I wailed on that test, in fact, I think I aced it") race-n-ace (the test is so trivial, you are racing to be the first done) -- Chris Long "The proofs are so obvious that they can be left to the reader."
