Default Only 11 on PAK that failed?

Am I the only 11 who failed?

It seems that way. I am so pissed.

What, were your answers for on the PAK for the controversial questions? You might be able to shed some light on which ones the PAK had wrong/which questions the SOA threw out?

I did not get any of the controversial ones. I will have to look and see what my answers were.

I think 7,11, and 17 were huge. On the initial Pak I got a 9, but a day later when Wieshaus and others solved 11 and 7 I had both those answers. For 17 I had one of the two possible answers A or B-I had B. pretty sure the pass mark was 11 though. Sorry to all those who came close, believe me, I know what it feels like. Just soldier on.

I think I had a 10 on the PAK and passed. My answers were:

adbbedacbe
baabdddbbc

while I think the PAK was:
edbbdedcde
bdabceabac (w/ 17 being a or b I guess, but I had neither so...)

I'm assuming that PAK is off by atleast 1 which would bump me up to an 11 and make me pass (of which I am mildly astonished, since I didn't even bother to compare my answers to the PAK until just now since I thought I did so terribly).

The reason that you passed was number 7. the answer actually determined to be A. u can search for the solution.
