The Fun Never Ends

Oh, AP. I wish I could say, "You know I love you." But...

Bless your heart.

You're rolling out a new exam. I get it. That's hard. So complicated, so many changes, so many people to manage and publications to create.

But if you add up the percentages above, are you sure they work? 40+30+25+15 = 100?

Does it? Or would that be better if the Short-Answer section was 20%? The way it is in your AP guide.

Geography

So I'm reading The Atlantic. There's an article about food insecurity. Looks good. Let's check that out.

La dee dah, interesting stuff. Oh, look: a map of food insecurity among children in the US. First reaction: happy that Utah does ok at helping children eat.

The author, though, points out the two states that seem worst off: Arizona and Missouri.

Wait. Missouri's dark. Why Missouri? Arkansas, on the other hand - that's pale. Is it possible that a major national magazine just mixed up Arkansas and Missouri? Maybe. And, you know, I notice one more thing. Arizona's darker than New Mexico.

IS IT POSSIBLE that The Atlantic mixed up *both* Arizona/New Mexico and Missouri/Arkansas?

Too much eggnog. That's my theory.
