COOL! BTW they still offer the 1.5 test.

Don't tell me you too cheated on your SATs :)

I should just mention that I got hit up for an interview last week due 
to my BrainBench C++ test. So they are not entirely worthless (even 
though there were syntax errors in the test itself). I do not know if 
the Python test is worth the $45 they are charging from that perspective 
since I suspect very few potential employers will be looking for Python 
programmers on BrainBench.
