I'd love to see one too, but in lieu of one, how about this: Explain in 250

balance a checkbook.

That makes the assumption that the person writing the test obviously knows how to balance a checkbook/cheque book.

Don't slam me for this... but I would fail that test.

Any test that is designed should take into consideration what a potential writer already knows.

Just wanted to mention that caveat.
