Brain Sex

BBC has posted some tests to identify whether your brain functions in Male pattern or female pattern.

I strongly believe that with conscious learning we can improve various(male/female) brain traits, like the way I did after years of going through different atlas pages, finally figured yesterday that the Japanese did not have to travel through the entire Europe or crossing Atlantic ocean to bomb Pearl Harbour. Amazing discovery for me.
For those guys/gals, who are clueless behind this euphoria for finding the obvious thing, little background about my geography skill will help.

I was having high temperature during my quarterly exams and being a good student I went to write the exam ( or was it my mom who threw me out of the house to directly land in school, after all my tantrums I made while sitting at home?) Anyhow I went to write my
H & G Quarterly exam. After all the usual questions on capitals/states etc, I have to finish the most dreaded portion of the exam - MAPS.
Slowly I turned the question for the map and was very delighted seeing the assignment is marking any Indian Railway route between Srinagar and Kanyakumari. Cool! I thought. Kashmir is at the top and Kanyakumari at the bottom, so I could connect with 3 or 4 Z lines in between these two points. Picking a map from the desk I acted upon my plan of action for the railroad between Kashmir and Kanyakumari. Big mountains like Himalayas lies in the north and so the railway gauge has to be very narrow towards the top and somewhere in the middle we have some desert portion where the gauges has to be little broader than broad gauge, since this will shrink due to alternating between high temperature in the day and very low temperature in the night (Even as a kid I believed, Science - if not applied practically does not have any values) Armed with color pencils, I properly demarcated all different(narrow, little less narrow(more high you go, more narrow it becomes, metre, broad, little broader than broad) gauges.

Completely satisfied with my work and with oozing confidence I submitted my answer sheets tied with the map. Sadly, I did not get any marks for my fantastic work.

Even now I am not sure whether it is my low IQ or High Temperature, which made me to draw the rail route between Kashmir and Kanyakumari using Europe Map.
