Yo! Here we go again. Since we at the Public Record are going on vacation for a week, I will tease you with these easy, logical questions that have thought provoking answers to while away your leisure time. I will have some nice thoughts of you taking the test. Be honest with yourself. Don't ask anyone for help with the answers. Don't look in the dictionary, encyclopedia, go on the Internet or search anywhere else! See how really smart you think you are. Get a pen, pencil and paper; take one question at a time. Write down the question number and your answer then compare them to the answers. OK?
