    1. Yeah, but it was a different result for Adam than the Olympic swimmer. The answer for someone of average or below skill agreed with the answer on the test.

  10. I'd rather be self-employed than work for someone else, but I like my current job (I don't want to mention the company here because they're small enough that it might make me identifiable).
