AMbiguity and multiple choice

I had my test this morning and managed to get it done (and checked quite a few times) in half an hour. I got annoyed as the questions were interpretable - which is not a good combination with multiple choice answers when one interpretation would give you one answer and another a different one. "must e connected with a crime." what? a certain type of crime (eg robbery) or a specific crime (eg the robbery on Tuesday of the corner store)? It makes all the difference. After having talked with my dad (and him confirming my superiority ;)) I went to the gym to work off my aggressions. I am very happy with myself after 25min on the tread mill and 35min working out my arms, my thighs, my abdomen and my back. AND I stretched as well.

Had our introduction to the next project. Interesting but disconcerting. It's about sexual crimes something not to pleasant to read about. Can't help myself from sympathising with the woman, even if I don't know if she is indeed a victim. I wouldn't want to be a judge. Horrible, horrible. But it's a important subject.

I picked up the answers for the test as well. Got 8/10. One mistake was me thinking wrongly the other was me missing a NOT in the question resulting in an answer opposite of the correct one. I was right, but wrong. Will do it again on Tuesday and prepare this time (have been very lazy) and read the questions properly.
