    14/16. The 2 I missed were because I read the question too quickly (altitude) and I did a basic math error on the weekly allowance one.. Not bad, considering I haven't had any math for 9 years..

    Bite your tongue!! I'm off today, so I have real stuff to do at home. In fact, you've given me an idea. I'll save this quiz till I return to work on Friday!

    14/16 with a calculator. I used to be good at math, and then it got all complicated.

    I guessed on the bow with the pot in it.


    Multiple choice math tests are somewhat easy, because all you do is plug one of four or five numbers in for x.

    Fun little test, though my score would have dropped if it got into really complicated geometry. I'll take calculus over doing geometry proofs anyday.

    Hate to hijack this thread with a Simpons scene, but DoD's post has inspired me:

    Burns: Could you explain your model, young man?
    Grimes: [from audience] What's to explain? He's an idiot!
    Lenny: [from audience] Pipe down!
    Homer: Well basically, I just copied the plant we have now.
    Burns: [impressed] Hmmm.
    Homer: Then, I added some fins to lower wind resistance. [points to
    a stripe on the cooling tower] And this racing stripe here I
    feel is pretty sharp.
    Burns: Agreed. First prize. [gives Homer a blue ribbon, and some
    money]
    [cut to audience shot]
    Grimes: [stands up] What?
    Carl: Way to go, Homer!
    Lenny: You're number one, Homer!
    Grimes: But it, it was contest for children!
    Lenny: Yeah. And Homer beat their brains out!
    [audience cheers wildly]

    And I also did the implicit differentiation problems for the fun of it.

    I put this up because you'd be shocked at the number of adults that don't possess basic math skills. Of course, finding the length of the hypotenuse (sp?) of a right triangle isn't exactly 1+1=2, but it's still something everybody should understand...

    Good to know that everybody here is ahead of the curve. :)
