SLAPHAPPY STFICTION
              TEST

           This test is being conducted to determine how much fandom as a whole does not know about science-fiction. All participants who average zero or above will be given a charter membership in the Society of Amalgamated American Screwballs, Unlimited, and a handsome (?) certificate of mebership (no foolin' !).

           After each question three or less possible answer will be listed. Check the answer which seems most nearly incorrect. If you can't decide, close your eyes and jab. Since you will not wish to deface your magazine, simply copy the numbers of all the questions and the answer you have selected for each on the back of any old rejected manuscript and mail them to us immediately, if not sconer.
