Now , the coordinators refused to answer anything number - related , whether it was how many it takes to pass , what percentage of people pass , etc . But I began with the goal of 27 and if I needed that , I failed . I was willing to stake my life on 18 of the 30 , and another five or six I was reasonably sure on , but the rest were educated guesses .

Question: What is meant by " I began with a goal of 27 " ?
Answer: I was worried I could n't get through 27 min . of questions so I made sure I waited at leas 27 min .I wanted to get 27 of the questions answered , even if I knew they were wrong .I was n't given information regarding needed scoring so I devised my own goals .27 is the number associated with holy things .
