LSAC could even include a disclaimer reminding people that this score has not been weighed according to the curve for this particular testing session and etc.
That's a good idea. There are some problems with it, of course, such as how do you actually go about implementing these machines? Assuming that you use registered machines to input responses, that gets very expensive. Also, how do you trust the proctors, who, in this case, become responsible for much more than simply checking how may sheets there are?

Jesus Christ. This thread is about as useful as debating the ideal height for a unicorn jockey.

Which sounds like a wonderful and fun debate.

I disagree. Clearly, 5 feet 3 and 100-112 lbs is ideal. A unicorn is said to be 14 - 14.5 hands tall, and if we judge the weight of the horn to bring the total weight to 1,150 or so lbs, a jockey of above average weight is clearly needed.

I suppose it's sad that while typing this response in an attempt to be humorous at my desk at work before my green tea kicks in, I was thinking of the contrapositives, mapping out the structure, identifying the conclusion & premises, thinking about a point of disagreement question and how a sufficient or necessary assumption question would look with that statement.

how are we going to ensure that the unicorns dont stab other jockeys during said race? Some sort of unicorn protector or sheath?

I was thinking you might need the jockey to be around 5'1 and 1/4. The key is to have strong core. Might have to find a jockey who is willing to bulk up- because it could be hard to hold on if the unicorns start to fly or there is too much turbulance/ need to protect oneself from the unicorn.

a bigger and heavier jockey might be more difficult for owner to comprehend, though espeically since they are adament about a smaller and lighter jockey and used to those jockeys.


wonder if the animals need special shoes??

Unicorn racing is a blood sport

Yes... Question can these unicorns fly? If so are there parachutes available? Or if jockey falls off... Too bad??


I should be paying attention in class but this is much more relevant to my interests

This sounds like it could had been a perfect Family Guy cut away.
