  1. RPM says:

    If a train leaves Chicago at 6:20 heading South at 60 mph, how long before the Yankee troublemakers get their fool head knocked in?

  2. Maybe it proves how impossible it is that I thought I got them all right, but I think I could get them all right. That's not to say that this is a legit test. It's just to say that the headline might be a little off. Maybe it should have been "intentionally unnecessarily difficult" test. BTW, I bet whites who didn't graduate 5th grade would have had a hard time with it, too.
