Today is Part 2 of FCAT Math, but before we begin your fun,

a question has arisen, "What do they do with Part 1?"

As you know, Section 1 and Section 2 are both in the same book.

But they have to be stored away securely, so no one can take a look

ahead and get an advantage. So in order to keep folks away,

Presidential Order 6000-B starts to come in to play.

Each test is bathed un ultraviolet light, X-rays, and a gas that would make you gag.

Then, the handlers (while wearing rubber gloves) place each test in a bag.

The air is sucked out by a big fat guy, it's zipped shut, and then wrapped in foil.

Next, the silvery package is immersed in boiling sunflower oil.

(I'm really not sure why they use boiling oil at all,

but they use sunflower, over concerns about cholesterol).

After it cools, the whole thing is removed and then it is placed in a box.

All the other tests are added, then it's bound with a chain and locked with three locks!

The FBI then comes, puts the box in a car, and they take it off to the train,

which takes it to the airport, where it's put upon a plane.

All night long, the airplane flies (it must refuel in the air),

all the while, Stealth fighters and a special FCAT blimp are there.

They patrol the skies, ensuring the integrity of the test is preserved.

But, a couple of years ago, there was a problem and one plane swerved.

It crashed into the blimp and the tests fell from the sky

and landed on the ground! And now you know why

whenever people don't do well, they frequently say that,

"Man! I don't believe it! I bombed on the FCAT!"
