This "test" is no urban legend, but true legend.   When I was a freshman
in high school (and, no, I won't admit when that was ;-)  ), our public
speaking teacher gave us this test!   I have seen it a few times since
then, and it's amazing how many people don't read the first instruction -
"Read this entire test over before doing anything."
