Don't you have to answer a skill testing question first?

Would it be: 1)how much expeience do you have working around glass? 2) how much does a ton of figs weigh and 3) what is your political platform, if you have one?

Shouldn't questions about existence be answered by an Existentialist?

Wasn't Descartes an existentialist?

Isn't Descartes a kind of menu where items are priced and ordered separately?
