Getting good test scores is always bad for one's humility, so I can
understand what the pressures on her must have been like. It's too bad

http://www.wiskit.com/marilyn.html MARILYN VOS SAVANT IS WRONG

According to this page, Marilyn has made quite a number of errors which
have gone uncorrected. Note that many of her mistakes involve physics. I
would think she would be intelligent enough to learn from mistakes, and
then either avoid the physics questions, or always have a specialist
double check her answers.
