Multi-National Finals

~
If you are a corporation (or CEO, CAO, CFO, banker, shareholder, etc., etc.) your exam is titled, Multi-National Finals and is 98% the same as the National Finals (recently released—October 21, 2011). Like the National Finals exam, it is open book (or books, as the case may be). The only difference is question 15. So after completing the relevant 19 National Finals questions, please proceed to this substitute question? Remember, examinees have 7 options:

A= YES
B= NO
C= Maybe
D= I don’t remember
E= I take the American Fifth
F= I’d rather go-to-hell than tell (Caveat emptor: this may constitute a technical redundancy.)
X= The shareholders made me (or so I am told)
