Ginger:
I admit to using Potterkeys.  They spell out things pretty clearly.

SPOILERS FOR WOMBAT





The question I wondered most about was the one where we had to pick 
three things that we would find indespensible if we were in trouble.

Were we supposed to be thinking as Muggles?  That thought hit me 
after I finished taking it.  If not, then which three would depend on 
what kind of trouble we were in and whether our reaction would be an 
offensive strategy of a defensive one.  I wonder how she's going to 
grade that one.

Ginger, thanking Phyllis for the "heads up".
