but instead of groups or five for each it has them All in one Beti cd the third Sheet is for marking question for May ask what is the capital of if a student knows the he scans the answer Sheet for words beginning with a looking for Des then enters that answers number on the third if he Doest know the he has one Chance in 999 at guessing the idea was to make the list so Long that they cant just glance Over the hoping for a word they Ander son the answer Sheet uses simple rows of circles to be filled in so it can be graded by a computer with an optical if Des Moines is 468 on the answer the student returns to the marking Sheet and fills in the answer for question i the fourth Circle of the first the sixth Circle in the second Row and the eighth Circle in the third or Anderson said his
