“What?”

“These things,” Fassett slapped the folder, “are designed by the Interrogations Division. Fellows with high foreheads bring in other fellows with beards and they put the stuff through computers. You couldn’t possibly answer everything correctly. If you did it would mean you had studied too hard… . For instance, you were with The Sacramento Daily Neivs for three years almost to the day. Not two and a half or three and a half. Your family moved to San Mateo when you were eight years, two months, not seven years old.”
