Quiz no. 3
November 5, 1998
On the front of this sheet of paper, answer each of the following questions.
Provide a distinct answer for each question, numbering your answers as
you proceed. Before turning in your quiz, fold this sheet of paper in half,
lengthwise (i.e., so that the crease goes from top to botton, down the
middle), and write your name on the back. Only answers written on the front
will influence your grade, and nothing written on the front should reveal
your identity.
