I think I was tested in 6th grade, I'm now 60. I actually watched Fischer and Spassky on TV play that series, it was boring as hell. But Fischer was a master at playing poker, he had Spassky psychologically beat, and Spassky couldn't get past Fischer's antics and lost due to mental frustration.

I don't however recall the cattle exams. But I do recall how junky the Schwinn line of Varsity's, Continental's, Suburban, Collegiate's, World, World Sport, Sprint, and Travelers all were, and to see any of those bikes go for more then recycle value just makes me scratch my head. I guess my IQ is too low to figure out those nonsense prices those bikes get in areas like Chicago.

Here's an example: http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/bik/3678972538.html
