TRICK QUESTION TEST – TODAY THROUGH December 31, 2011.

Attached is the ICC Indian Enterprises annual trick question. Anyone may take the test whether they have been to an ICC course or not. The course is on the honor system. We total up the points for each test. If you complete the test in 50 minutes or less we add ten percentage points to your score. We cut off scores after three tests. For the purpose of the ICC Scoreboard the top score receives 10 points the second – 8; the third place is 6 points. See our scoreboard on the ICC Indian Enterprise website. https://www.iccindianenterprises.com/page47/page47.html Anyone taking the test by 3:00 Eastern time November 21 will receive 2 bonus points on the scoreboard. After 3 tests we start a new scoreboard for the next 3 persons. We have a new scoreboard for each day so if you are the only person taking the test on a given day, you will automatically receive 10 points.

It’s a trick question test so don’t be intimidated if you don’t know the answers. Most people score less than 50%.

The points you receive are credited to you on the All time scoreboard and also to your office/tribe scoreboard. ICC awards go to the top 20 individuals on the scoreboard as of Dec 31. The ICC 100 is the people between No. 21 and 100 as of December 31. You have until midnight Dec 31 to take the test.
