Three and a half, and a third. I'm shit at maths.

That's my best quiz score ever, i think.

Is it three and five sixths?
 
6½ for me. Forcing myself to read his autobiography obviously paid off! (Seriously, if you feel tempted, enjoy the first half, but stop there otherwise you'll drown under reams of dropped names and Rolex and Ford advertising.)
