It’s election time in Victoria. I’ve registered for a postal vote. I felt like I was out of the election loop so today, I visited The Age to see what was going on. When the hell did T3 get sold? There was a G20 Summit in Melbourne? Another series of Australian Idol?

Brad, a fellow Aussie at my college, sent me this link — Australian Politics Test. I’d be interested in your results, if you’re comfortable sharing.

Here are mine: joanium’s results

As I expected, really, although I’m surprised they picked it so accurately.

A farmer has 90 sheep. He wants to take them to the market across the river and sell them. There is no way to cross except via a ferry. The price the farmer pays the ferryman for his service is half the number of sheep that the farmer take across.

What is the minimum number of sheep that the farmer can get away with paying the ferryman?
