Chapter Forty: Release of the official 'test' transcriptsOf course as part of the selection process, official transcripts were released to the public, showing the responses of the candidates to many of the verbal questions given to them. These are of course made public, in the hope of educating people, and giving them insights into the character of their Emperor-in-waiting. Transcripts for all Emperors go back many thousands of years. Of course for this reason it would be easy for anyone to 'memorise' the answers of past successful candidates. So this part of the testing is more of a formality. The key parts of the testing are confidential. Citizens can only guess at how their favorite candidates 'behaved' during the 'virtual reality' experiences.
