Edutainment?

Well meaning friends bought me a quiz programme for my Birthday recently. It proudly boasted 400 questions and after doing a standard test on it I came to the following conclusions
  1. I am not good at intelligence tests
  2. I could learn to be better at them
  3. This program was not going to help me get better
After completing 40 questions, the program baldly told me what I'd got wrong but not why or how it should have been answered. Bad Consultancy is like that... you can tell people what's wrong, but not how to make it better. What I did learn, is that the disc flies really,really well.
