Funny....if you register as "outside Canada" it asks all these hard questions, but if you register as one of the provinces, it takes you to this link:

Something strange going on with CBC I think.

137, though I'm sure I could have done better had I more time. The stupid clock ticking away really grates on the nerves after the first fifty questions. And some of those stupid memorization things were really something....(why on earth do you need six digit postal codes in a country of only a few million people? I'm going to remmber THAT about a person?)....

The test is about how well you can view and remember information; not what a specific postal code is. (They could as easily have asked you to be able to recall phone numbers or licence plate numbers). Canada has 33,000,000 people. The codes are not "six digit" but rather "three digit and three letter" which makes the number of possible codes 17,576,000 (not accounting for exclusions). They are designed to display regional information (province, city or locale) and are based on the UK system. We use the codes but in this day and age of electronic communication (and reduced volumes of snail mail) few people remember them and have to look them up in an address book anyway.

The clock counted off only the last three seconds.

The whole point of putting time limits on the questions is to see if you have the answers or mechanisms to correctly select the answers "at hand".

The clock SOUNDED off the last three seconds, but it's always there rolling down in the upper corner.....teasing you....

I'm sure the postal code system there is perfectly valid, just took me by suprise. Obviously, I don't mail Canada too often, or the Uk, so I didn't really register the code as a postal code until I saw the actual question...then it was like...'Uh, crap...that was that J...something number..."

At any rate, I'm pretty confident I got that one wrong.
