An <b>18 year old student<\/b> asked the <b>Governor<\/b> if he could answer an <b>FCAT Math Question<\/b>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-family: arial; text-align: justify;\"><b>FCAT<\/b> is the test that students are required to pass in order to get a <b>diploma<\/b>.

Three-four-five. I don&#8217;t know, 125, 90 and whatever remains on 180?&#8221;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-family: arial; text-align: justify;\">As you&#8217;ve probably already figured out,<b> the answer was wrong<\/b>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-family: arial; text-align: justify;\">Does that mean that the <b>Governor<\/b> is stupid?

No.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-family: arial; text-align: justify;\">I don&#8217;t think that we should judge a person on the basis of <b>one test<\/b>.
