no pen and paper needed either.

No shame in needing pen and paper to do the last one, I would say.

I've always thought getting 100% in these sorts of quizzes misses the point. When I were a lad a grade A was somewhere in the 70-80% range which is about right. Any higher means the questions are too easy.

 

[sooey]

The point of getting 100% in this one was to find out whether you were amongst the one in twenty who could. I take it you weren't.

 

[chapeau]

No, I got 10/10. But it doesn't impress me because the questions were too easy.

 

[sooey]

Of course.

one in twenty with the aid of pen and paper for the last one.

 

[chapeau]

Of course.

Yep !

I'd rather have tougher questions with 5% of the population scoring 7/10.

(PS 5% = 1 in 20 )

You sure your not allowed a calculator or pen and paper for this ??? I have 2 a'levels and a bit of a degree in maths, but i admit speedy arithmetic is not my forte at all, but that means nothing, as long as you know how to do it ..........

8/10 btw the arithmetic ones got me.

you bugger is says you can use pen and paper, now i am fed up!!

 

[longdogs]

7/10 but I'm not gonna lose sleep over it. I doubt if there are many primary school children that can do question ten without a calculator.

DONT INSULT ME WITH THESE QUESTIONS.

I should hope a primary school pupil would be able to answer all of those with a pen and paper allowed. Jesus by 10 years old its not rocket science. If they cant answer those simple questions then the schools and education department ought to be ashamed.

 

[JBR]

I must admit that I got one wrong; the last one. I ran out of time. Mind you, I refused (couldn't be bothered!) to use pencil and paper.

 

[enyam]

I got 6 out of ten,maths never was my strong subject,hey ho,but have managed to get to nigh on 56 yrs of age.

7 out of 10,without pen or paper,but if i did use some probably 8-9 correct,ive never judged a person as being intelligent just because they have certificates coming out of there back side,i judge common sense politeness and decency as far more to gain my respect.
