I specifically didn't challenge you, because I already knew you'd kick my ass.

Actually, I can't really tell if I kicked your ass or not. It looks like I screwed up more of the basic questions but got more of the expert questions.

What I wanna know is: did you get hung/hanged?

Yep.

In fact, I think I learned that one from you.

I took the test a little while ago (100%, 100%, 100%, 77%).

I just checked the answer key. She's just plain wrong about "impertinent" vs. "irrelevant." The definition she provides for "impertinent" is one possible definition, yes, but it is also a synonym for "irrelevant," so the correct answer to that one should have been "either a or b." I have a few other bones to pick with her, but that's the biggest one.
