Sometimes you have a run in with a customer that ain't worth having-- no matter how much money they pay.

As a very old lefty, I wish my handwriting looked that good.

Boys in particular, (though girls are not exempt from poor handwriting), will have "poor" penmanship pretty much all through elementary school and even into Jr High. And fractions are generally introduced at the end of the 3rd grade school year. And based on the question, that's the likely grade level that test was created for.

I would bet that most of the students in that class got the answer correct because they were coached to read the question correctly-- to look for the fractions and simply compare them. And anyone else that didn't, simply chose the wrong answer. Still, you will get a surprise answer like that every once in a while because kids are cool like that. It's worth a chuckle as you move on.

I have used a pizza cutter to cut more than one pizza. I have also wielded a sword, (Ren Fair and fought a dual), and cut pizza with it. I have also field dressed a couple of deer and cut a few pizzas, (along with apples and sandwiches) with a Victorinox Classic keychain pocket knife over the years.

Of the 3 pieces of cutlery, I find the Victorinox Classic to be the most useful.

Gemini has popped up pnce since it became a thing. I simply clicked no and it's gone away. So hopefully it stays away.

Nah, you still good bro as long as you are moving smoothly with the traffic.

What catches the trooper's eye and gets you pulled over is doing all those lane changes if you want to be the fastest. That's what is unsafe. Otherwise, they aren't too concerned about the actual speed as long as the traffic is flowing smoothly.

So, I don't know what 3/4's of those pictographs on the chart mean. Am I in the wrong place?

So would I need up upgrade to First Class to get that kind of service?

A simple google search, (which YOU could have done yourself), shows it's abut 1 in 1.5 million miles driven per accident with FSD vs 1 in 700,000 miles driven for mechanical cars. I'm no Teslastan, (I think they are over priced and deliberately for rich people only), but that's an improvement, a noticeable improvement.

And as a an old retired medic who has done his share of car accidents over nearly 20 years-- Yes, yes humans swerve off of perfectly straight roads and hit trees and anything else in the way also. And do so at a higher rate.
