So what you are trying to say is our generation is more intelligent than the previous generation? Thanks, I love a compliment.


In all seriousness thanks for answering my question. That makes a lot of sense.

Hey Bpolley,

Well, if you wanted to get really technical about it, the explanation is probably that our ability to study has improved. Before, you were on your own if you took a class; now, it's so easy to access every question that's ever been written, along with tons of brilliant commentary to go along with it. In other words, we only have BtG to blame! : )
