Weird thing is that it usually seems the ones I ace are ones that others have trouble with and the ones they say are "easy" are the ones I completely fail.

I think we are closer thinking in this than we are others. But also I am ignorant to more things than most everyone else on here.

13% fail rate - it was objectively easy according to the stats.
