did anyone get that question?

it was so retarted and so out of the blue. virtually every question in the exam was stuff you could just make up answers to... and then they throw in a question like that.

i just wrote "Wtf mate?" and left half a page incase i had time to make something up and then moved on.

yea, it was in the syllabus so i knew it- easy- there should have been more questions in the exam requiring knowledge of things such as that- you know, cause exams usually assess whats been covered over the span of the course

lol similar to you..i just wrote "MICR is.." and left half a page. I was trying to work out how it linked to part i...cos usually they do. And now i know, becuase most people would use a cheque as their example for part i and MICR is the coding thing on cheques. Mother knew but i didnt...how irritating =p
