21st Century Intelligence Test

This is a multiple-choice word problem. Your government has announced the tap water in your local municipality (of 36 million people) has been poisoned due to a radiation leak at a nearby nuclear power plant. This level is unsafe for infants, and possibly other living organisms which are made from infants. Reporting about the plant has suddenly gotten very quiet. You should:

a) Go buy bottled water;

b) Wait for the Ministry of Denial to raise the safe limit to levels above current contamination;

c) Leave town now before the panic-driven wave of irradiated cannibalism and general mayhem begins.

d) BTFD (Trader acronym for "Buy the Fucking Dip")

Good answer, Warren. We'll see how the SAT committee calls the shots on that one. S&P futures will be up about 75 tomorrow morning either way. Of course.

PS, Warren: being beaten to death with Virginia Woolf novels, especially at the hands of a professional, might not be half bad.

Has anyone read "The Road" by Cormack McCathy without putting it down?? A future reality show? I think not; for the New Jersey Shores, etc., etc., ad nauseam. Try reading it without putting it down! Anon...
