Dusties

There were two kids named Dusty in Ms. Wallace's class. To avoid confusion, they called them "Cool Dusty" and "Stupid Dusty."

We're concerned with Stupid Dusty for now.

Stupid Dusty took his geography test into the intervention classroom for remedial students. The test had several countries labeled with numbers instead of names. It was the job of the students to label the countries.

The remedial teacher made the choice multiple choice. Every number had two choices: the actual name of the country, and "China." For instance, Stupid Dusty would see a picture of France, and woudl label it either "France" or "China." Out of 32 questions, he answered "China" on 31 of them. The correct answer for number 32 was actually "China," but he left it blank.

Given the information, do you think Stupid Dusty was so stupid after all?
