Recently somebody wrote to the blind-hams list as follows:

<Hmmmm, that doesn't seem to tally with my experience. I took my
extra about two months ago and passed it, and yes I had to do math
problwems to solve some of the questions.
Btw, this is as it should be. I even had to take a wild guess at
answering some of the questions relating to diagrams, but those also
had some math involved. The guy who marked my answer sheet for me was
able to describe the diagram quite adequately for me btw.
Be prepared to do everything a sighted candidate for licensing would
have to do, which in my not so humble opinion is as it should be.

If you put garbage in a computer nothing comes out but garbage. But
this garbage, having passed through a very expensive machine, is
somehow enobled and none dare criticize it.
