59.

I can do better. Honest.

EDIT: Second time round I hit 82. Probably the best I could do.

69 countries without aids?  They must have excellent sexual practices.  

How ironic that it was 69, too

Though only 55 on the first attempt and 61 on my best attempt. 91 was after practicing (instead of working) for two days!

$5390. Not bad for someone who has 'poor eyesight, hindred mobility and had serious surgery'.

I thought the eyesight one was funny, because there was the choice of 'I'm blind'. If you're blind how would you take the test?

Ben, you can be classified blind even if your vision allows you to see a little.

Alternatively, there are products available which can speak what's on the screen. I had a blind girl working for me in the early 80s. She had a scanning device which could 'read' text and send a vibrating pattern to a pad where she placed a finger.

We also got her a specially adapted computer terminal which could speak the contents of the screen. I remember taking her, in 1982, to IBM's labs at Hursley near Winchester, so she could try a demonstration model before we bought it.
