My score means crap for 2 reasons: 1, I ran out of time (end up spending like 50% more of the allotted time) and 2, my answer to question 9 was a lucky guess.

"2. In Aunt Lucy's garden there are about 50-100 tulips. She says that 20% of the tulips are yellow and 1/7 of them are white. How many tulips does she have?"

How does this equal 70?

Because the number has to be divisible by both 5 (so that 20% can be yellow) and 7 (so that 1/7 can be white). 70 is the only choice which is divisible by both.

I just got the last one wrong, but like Mw99, I went over the time by a lot.

This should probably go in the "Random" forum though, and since all these tests are on the same site, they really should be all in the same thread.

I got 9/10. I was confused on the sheep question because there were many possible answers.

simple questions 280ish seconds 100% I X'd it off and forgot the last number :-/ anyone else have problems like that?

math is my strongest area, I hit the ceiling on it on my IQ test with perfect scores I believe. uhhhh just dont ask me to write a paragraph and I'll be fine lol.

Did you know in school they penalize you for having a 168 word sentence? Now I just put a period and a capital after every thought lol.
