    it did the same thing to me that it did to omak. on 3 questions, it recorded a different answer than the one i picked. naturally, it accused me of picking wrong answers. :?

    i'm going to brag. if the computer had scored accurately, i got only one wrong (the IQS question).

    ooooooooo-oo, oooooooooo-ooo ...
    go patrieeeece ...
    it's yer birthday .......

    no not really.

    It had interesting questions and I learned a few things from taking it, but there was a definite glitch. It told me I'd chosen wrong answers in some cases when I'd chosen the right answer, and in others that i'd chosen correctly when I'd made a different choice. I went back and double-checked myself to be sure I hadn't mis-clicked, but it did the same thing (and with different questions, yet!) the second time around.

    I'm wondering if those of us seeing this problem all have outdated browsers and whether that's the problem. I still (stubbornly) use Internet Explorer 6.

The resulting "dotted line" was where you would cut with your scissors. I believe they are still made, even though there are easier methods available now.
    AHa! I know the item ... thank you! <G>

    I still have a few "boot spur" tools and dressmaker's carbon. Maybe I should throw it out.
    LOL ... me too! But, I just can't bring myself to get rid of them. Some day, they may be the only means of self-defense I have! I might need the carbon paper for .... <sigh> I will just have to think on it for awhile.

    No, it isn't an old browser, dear ... it was the producer ... PBS ... think about it <g>
    But, if it accused us of giving answers we didn't, and credited us with points we didn't earn ... should we really trust THEIR answers??? LOL

    Carbon paper still comes in handy for applique and such. Last time I bought some, I was surprised at how much the price had gone up.

    If I can butt in, you'd use dressmaker's carbon paper to trace an applique design outline on from tracing paper, wouldn't that be it?
