How are you in maths?
-
Is for me - when I left school and went to Uni, I didn't even own a calculator! (I did own two slide rules though, and I think I still have both of them) :laugh:

247 - how many have you got left? You do the maths! ;P

I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific.

10/01 no calculator. If you thought you needed one you've either completely forgotten how to do basic math; or missed the easy way to do some of the problems.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

He needs 9 hours, must be back at 8PM = 20:00. SO he has to leave at 11:00am.

Makes you think; got all of them correct.

All in my head - the footsteps one nearly had me check the calculator - but 225 * 4 = 900 so it was a question of a stride being 0.4cm or 40cm... :-D

That's the only one I got wrong, as I missed the "in cm" bit at the end. Not really math, more reading. Iain.

Sweet. 100%. I guess I'm also brighter than BoJo[^].
Being "Brighter than BoJo" is akin to being "Better looking than SuBo"* - a feet most can attain and a point of embarrassment should you fail. * I was going to say "Less Promiscuous Than Paris", but no-one fails that test.

The answer for question 2 (answer: 20) is questionable. How can the exact minutes be determined using an average speed?

You don't get jokes either? :laugh:

I'm getting too old to think of that: I just refused to do 900000 / 22500 in my head! :laugh:

TOMZ_KV
Why would that be questionable? How do you think the speedometer calculated the average speed? Obviously it took the total 6 km and divided it by the total time of 1/3 hour to arrive at 18 km/h.
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

I was fine until the car questions. I'm behind a websense firewall and couldn't see the picture (I assume there was a picture) so had to guess those!
Nope, no picture, just a table - the same table for two "car" questions

Average doesn't mean approximate... The speeds and times did add up suspiciously neatly. Iain.

Before being allowed to use one rotted my brain I was able to do problems like 98*76 or 9*876 in my head faster than anyone could tap the buttons on the idiot box and win about half the time with problems like 98*765 or 9*8765. If I wanted to show off I could do problems like 9876*54321 too but had no chance of beating a button masher. My informal test for how clueful grade school teachers were was to see how long it took before they realized that if they were going to offer a prize for a basic in class math-game (generally flashcard speed) that unless they offered them for the top two spots they might as well just save some time and give it to me at the start of the day.
