Ha. Same test thing happened to my dad in the UK when he was called up for selective service. Handled the easy test in 5 minutes, but he was told he had to wait until everyone was done. He said the questions were like: Which is the odd one out- square, circle, triangle, elephant. And he said an hour later, there were still people trying to finish in confused frustration.

My dad got out of service entirely. He would never tell me how.

My dad got out by selling weed (allegedly). They couldn't absolutely pin it on him, so he got a general discharge. (Years later he told me that he used to sell acid to a two-star general.)
