Okay, i have had to draw it a couple of times but i have realized my mistake; i have to count the "forbidden angles" twice because we are dealing with lines, not segments starting at the point P.
So the answer is c) 1/2 .... i hate GMAT traps 
good question Kevin

1) AND is a conjunction and always makes plural verbs. Be careful with additive sencentes, such as "in addition of", "along with", "in company of" and other nasy middlemans that use singular verbs. Take a look to Manhattan SC or any collection of notes built in top of i...

I guess that that's the purpose of having "experimental" questions, to progressively adapt the asigned level of dificulty of them. Pure especulation, but I think that as the question is asked in several tests, the level is adapted to that of the test taker. For example, if you are in the 3...
