Similar in difficulty for me, 34 for this one vs. 35 Tues. So assuming that's the cutoff, glad I took it for real Tues!

While taking Wednesday's test, I thought I did better on Tuesday. However it turns out that more of my guesses on Wednesday were right, so I ended up with about the same number correct.

41/50 (not 4, 9, 12, 15, 22, 23, 31 or 42; too slow on 25)

I typically get 38 to 42, and I got 37 on this one without feeling particularly slow or unlucky--it seemed to be on the difficult side.

For what it's worth, my mum died this year after fighting multiple myeloma for 15 years, and it was always referred to as cancer of the bone marrow, both my her oncologists and the MMRF. HOWEVER, both leukemia and myeloma develop from mutations in the marrow and are present in the blood, so any reasonable person could accept both answers.
googleing "cancer of the bone marrow" gives you a large "LEUKEMIA" followed by:

So take that as you will.The most common cancer that starts in the bone marrow and causes bone tumors is called multiple myeloma. Another cancer that starts in the bone marrow is leukemia, but it is generally considered a blood cancer rather than a bone cancer.
Audacious! Loquacious! Voracious!

Depending on what they wanted for bone marrow cancer (I guessed leukemia) and if canoeing would've been acceptable for rowing, I'd have between 30-32.
Definitely glad I went for Tuesday instead of Wednesday. I'll take Thursday's later tonight.

I don't see why not. In fact, Shintoism might even be the more common way to frame it.movieman wrote:Would shintoism have been accepted? Thanks.

Finally felt brave enough to put my skills to the test, literally so for this go. Couldn't have been happier with how this went, missing only (assuming Iowa is right) 8, 9, 10, 21, 22, 26, good for 42/50. Even if I don't get an audition, this test literally has assuaged any fears or worries about overall skill/self-doubt in this respect!
This was personally my best of the three nights, as night one was around 36, and night three in the low 30s.
