Carjack. You forgot the Rule in Shelley's case and the Rule against Perpetuities. Anytime you don't know an answer just write "a life in being plus 21 years" or "a fertile octogenaian" That will help.

This reminds of a story. A college professor of theology was notorious on his campus for giving the same final every year, which was an essay question about Moses and the Exodus from Egypt. He had given the same essay final for years. His entire class had copies of the essay question and suggested answers. The professor finally learned of the situation and came up with a new essay question, which was about the prophecies of Isaiah. When he handed out the new final, all but one of his students got up and left without answering the question. The one remaining student wrote vigorously until it was time to turn in the exam. The professor was shocked that so many students left, but he was happy that at least one student listened to his lectures and was prepared for the exam. He could hardly wait to read the student’s essay. The student’s essay began, “I don’t know anything about Isaiah, but let me tell you about Moses and the Exodus….”
Moral – If you don’t know the answer to the question, at least tell them something that you do know.

In 2007 none of us knew we had to type the exam. From what I could see, for 98% of the testers, this was not a problem...
In short, this forum has (as was pointed out by pf) given much more information than was available back then.
And this little volley pales in comparison to past postings and answers. If you like to post and express opinions, rest assured there will be some response, oftentimes not what you had anticipated. Thus, please don't take anything personally.

I won't take it personally because I am way too busy studying the Rule Against Perpetuities and all the other "stuff" that was listed above. .
