Here is a typical question on an exam that W. had to pass. W. had to answer 60 questions like this in order to qualify for flying.
What should be the approximate elapsed time from the BOSEMAN (BZN) VOR to the DUBOIS (DBS) VORTAC if the wind is 24 knots from 260 degrees and your intended True Air Speed is 185 knots? (The magnetic variation is 17deg. E)
A. 33 minutes
B. 37 minutes
C. 39 minutes
Now can you answer that question on your own? If so, maybe you’re right that W. is not an intelligent person. But the evidence proves you wrong.

I took and passed this test before I was halfway through High School. And I wasn’t the most stellar HS student.
