Good one Dave. When you start "studying" for your general you will see how
dumbed down and simple it is and you might marvel at why the QPC would have
ever even bothered to commit such a "test" to publication. It may also occur
to you that, as the the Geico commercial says, it is so easy a caveman could
do it. Actually I would move back perhaps 25 million years earlier in the
evolutionary cycle and say it is so easy, even a monkey could do it.

And monkeys it will be.

Only one amateur on RRAP has ever said that studying wasn't required.
He was an Advanced and his name is/was Bruce. Said he took the Extra
exam on a whim, a bet, and took $250 from a "No Code CBer." Passed the
exam without any preparation, and didn't miss a single question.

However, Bruce was the closest thing to a Monkey that you'd find on
RRAP.

That certainly beats dying in a nursing home at 90.

Cecil, I'd have to see the woman first. ;^)

And when I took my tech tests back in 1976, I got correct just one more
than the minimum required questions, and did better on the 5wpm code,
receiving and sending. At the FCC in NYC. I thought i'd ace the
written and barely squeak by on the code. Did a lot better when I took
the (at the time) advanced and extra writtens to get my "nickel" extra
upgrade, back in 2000.

All that "Bruce" could prove (assuming the quoted story has any truth to
it) that he did in fact upgrade to extra, but not that he got all the
questions right. Big whoop anyway...
