True, but from my experience the 30 minutes is NOT in addition to your
normal lab time; it's just a dedicated 30 minutes OF your lab time. The
voice and security folks were typing away madly doing their labs while the
RS folks were doing the questions. Whether you know the answers or not
though, it shouldn't take more than a few minutes to do them all. There are
no references available for them. You'll either know the anwers or not.
