Ah Yes.  Blue Books.  Dag, you are a naughty person, because I had not
thought about Blue Books for over 50 years!  They hurt my hands, they were
too slow to capture my thinking, they led me to fear what horrible
questions I would have to pontificate about.

Best question I ever had to write about came in a modern Russian history
class where all the exams were multiple choice until the final.  Blue books
and 1 Question, for which we had 3 hours to respond:  "Was Stalin
Necessary?"  Everyone wrote in multiple Blue Books, I wrote for 30 minutes
arguing why he was necessary to industrialize and modernize the Soviet
economy just in time for WWII.  I got an A+ with the professor commenting
that I had internalized modern Russian history and could think through what
it all meant.

But I love the old-school solution.  Thanks for sharing this posting.  Jim
