You'd be correct about that.

It's kind of a trick question.

Chiefly, however, you erred in failing to read my post properly:

Aww, come on and indulge us. Don't think about the answer too hard. Re-read Dov's original post about his bonus miles...

I'll pass. The thousand or so "you're wrong" messages were 999 more than necessary and I honestly don't have any desire to.

How do you expect to learn from your mistakes if you do not show the work performed? Tomorrow or the day after, post your computations so we are able to walk you through the process correctly.


OT - Google on steroids.


On that note, buona notte, tutti!

Doubt it.

Took mine for the first time at 14 and again at 16 an 17 when I decided my score was good enough to get me a scholarship to a top 40 school.

Afternoon naps after redeyes feel great. Until you're too awake to go to bed at a reasonable hour

Took mine for the first time in the Spring of my junior year. Often, most people won't consider taking it before Fall of junior year and won't actually execute until the Spring.
