Ok, if the exams are a farce, please construct an objective test that is fair, objective, and determines whether or not our banks are solvent. Surely as hackers if we object to the test structures we can come up with a better algorithm rather than just claiming the function is broken.

Now, I'm not saying he should fix bugs for free, as he promised no warranty. But that's how he's feeling. It's like he shipped a car with a bad transmission that died, so he feels like he should replace it for free.
I was basically a "problem child" in middle school - I kinda refused to do anything I didn't want to. So after I'd flunked the kitchen safety test in home ec for the 5th time (true/false test and I scored a zero for the last 3 times :-)), school administration basically said "There's this new thing called the 'Internet' that we just got access to. We've got a dialup modem in the computer lab; why don't you spend the 42 minutes there instead of wasting your time pissing off the home ec teacher?" and then handed me a bunch of things I might want to try typing in - mostly gopher links, though there was this new invention called the "World Wide Web" that they suggested I check out too. I thought it was horribly disorganized and spent most of my time with Gopher.
