Serial sevens is what throws people the most but it won’t flunk you. It’s only three points of the entire test which I believe is 30 perfect. You start at 100 and count backwards by seven. They just want you to get the first three right but they’ll let you continue if you’re going strong. No extra points after three, though.

Ah, the serial 7s sparks a memory. I did do that one! (NB, I went to a neuro psychologist a few years ago for reasons, mostly because since I live alone I don't have anyone to tell me if I'm slipping). I aced the 7s (numbers not a problem). I think I scored a 27 or 28--I can't remember exactly. LOL

Trump’s PACs Spent Roughly $50 Million on Legal Expenses in 2023
The former president is facing four criminal indictments and potential trials that could drive his legal bills even higher as he seeks to lock up the Republican presidential nomination.

Donald J. Trump piled up legal expenses in 2023 as he was indicted four times, spending approximately $50 million in donor money on legal bills and investigation-related expenses last year, according to two people briefed on the figure.

It is a staggering sum. His lone remaining rival in the 2024 Republican primary, Nikki Haley, raised roughly the same amount of money across all her committees in the last year as Mr. Trump’s political accounts spent paying the bills stemming from his various legal defenses, including lawyers for witnesses.

The exact figure spent on legal bills will be reported on Wednesday in new filings to the Federal Election Commission. But even those totals can be imprecise depending on how certain expense items are categorized by those doing the paperwork.

The broader picture expected to be outlined in the documents is one of a former president heading toward the Republican nomination while facing enormous financial strain.
