Inspired by my insinuation that Marissa Mayer’s fingerprints were all over Yahoo’s incomprehensible decision to shell out $20 million to broadcast a game between two terrible teams that was already being shown in the local markets (I personally don’t believe Marissa had anything to do with it), I thought I’d prepare a practice SAT exam featuring some our favorite NFL personalities. Enjoy!

So I have no idea how this works…here are some of my (potentially meaningless) observations:
There are 5 circles.
Each image has a triangle (presumable for writing something down?) but the corner where the triangle is located varies.
Don’t think any of the images repeat, but some of the characters do.
Is this thing a big sudoku? I presume that the emphasis on 1 through 9 says yes, it is.
Okay, duh, of course it’s a sudoku. And they tell you what the numbers are right in the puzzle description.
Okay, I got it (though I sort of cheated and plugged it into a sudoku solver once I had the puzzle filled in). No idea what the answer means, though.
On the first page, where you click on the pdf, there’s a field where you can enter the solution word
Is this in LA? Rikki, are you available? Feel like making asses of ourselves?
I bet you and Rikki would do really well, actually.
Where to I turn in my scantron?
