[Publib] Text to 542542

[Edward Elsner]

I filled out their quiz to become a kgb Agent and did fine in all the general knowledge tests.  When it came time to do the research portion, I got every answer right as far as all the sources agreed.  I even went back and double checked each question and answer.  However, the system said I "failed" that one last section with a score of 68%.  I sent kgb a question regarding this and requesting to see why the score was 68% through their Contact Us page.  It hasn't been too long, but I still haven't heard anything back at all.  Didn't even get a "we received your contact query" response.  Sounds a bit iffy to me.

Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.
