I'd have JTQed question 6, as Matt should have, if only he hadn't already squandered that lifeline along with his ATA.

But, hey, Llamathrust sounds like it ought to be a legitimate WWTBAM answer!

Exactly! I can't believe 28% voted for the ridiculous choices. I can see a small percentage due to fumble-fingering, but 28%? Sheesh!

Easy stack so far, although I can deduce #6 because of my job and a similar issue in Montana.

State Department daycare, three choices deal with Congress, and he uses JTQ?
