Funny you should mention this.  Just for the exercise (and to see how 
I would measure up to US standards without any study), I tried a 
practice Extra exam on the ARRL web site, and this question came up 
(I got it right, BTW :) ).

And for the record, had that been a real US exam, I would have passed 
easily. :)
