I was like... "god. DAMNIT." I even remember reading that it was four-way associative; it just never clicked. fucking hell that was a fail on my part. good thing everyone is failing the class and it's curved.
my fault really... I should have known not every single answer would be 100% miss rate. that's too easy lol
