I was told there would be no math on this exam.

This is interesting as hell, actually. Gotta spend some more time pondering it. 

I love the nature of the question.  One of those open ended things you can argue over a few beers.

Is the wisdom of the masses greater than the wisdom of the elite?  I’m a big believer in tools like Google and Wikipedia even with their warts.  I think the aggregate knowledge of the Internet is massively useful when compared to more "traditional" sources of information (i.e. newspapers, encyclopedias, atlases etc).  I can’t even remember how I researched stuff in Elementary and High School but I do rememeber always feeling like I was missing a lot of important information because I was only looking at the two books the school library had on the topic.
