And with your admitted vision difficulties, how much of a role
did fatigue play in this reported failure?

I thought it got more difficult as it went on, too.

Pfffftttt. It is a series of questions about factoids. As a matter
of course, there are no "more" difficult or easy questions. It isn't
as though this were a calculus, or other graduated, test. The score
for each question is the same as it is for all others.

It would be more interesting to know if either of you has any factual
basis for your opinions on this topic. An uneducated (by our standards)
third world pundit might easily express the opinion that every question
on this test is equally impossible.

There are estimates that the human population is currently 6.982
billion. How many of their opinions on any topic do you suppose
might be relevant to me? :-)
