Hoax or not, I found it was probably representative of what would have been on a final exam then. I merely posted it as a curiosity.

For the record, I dissent from the current view about rote memorization; that it fills the brain with facts for which it will have no use, or that anything learned by rote memorization can be "discarded," or that it is more important to be able to learn than to actually learn something. In my experience and observation, when something is truly memorized, it is there forever. And who's to say what facts will not someday be useful? I can only say that my mental bag of tricks has served me well.
