So strange that they test for ancient greek when pharmaceutical labels are half-latin. This also reminds me of my very young attempts to get any shitty job in a store. They’d test your education, logic skills, out of box thinking, for you to sell $50 home electronics to bored visitors. The more degenerate a company (or a market) is, the more sophisticated its interviews are.

I was a fine piece, to be sure. The point is, it's customary to append that the title (so people aren't drawn into clicking on the article as if it's something new).
Will do next time. Thanks for the tip!
