FAQ
~~~
Q: Are these questions realy frequently asked?
A: No. I'm just making up these questions, because I think one could ask them.

Q: Is this the actual WisCat-pabo test?
A: No it isn't. It doesn't even come close. The problems presented in this
   trainer are of a similar level, but the WisCat-pabo test contains a wider
   variety of problems.
   
Q: I got all of the categories in the green. Does that mean I am ready for the
   WisCat-pabo test?
A: For the categories presented, yes you are. But the WisCat-pabo test contains
   more categories than the rekentrainer - you may still need training.
   
Q: What's this WisCat-pabo test you're speaking of?
A: It is a national test in the Netherlands to make sure primary school teachers
   have at least average math skills. Unfortunately most teachers don't, as 
   teachers tend to be more socially oriented than math oriented.
   
Q: Why are some of the problems so stupidly simple, and other so unreasonably 
   hard?
A: The problems are created by a computer program. For a computer, every 
   calculation is equally difficult. A computer will not spend more time on 1+1 
   than on 33554432 + 14380470. I've tried hard make te computer understand how
   humans perceive numbers and math problems, but I wasn't 100% succesful.
