10. Three individuals form a partnership and agree to divide the profits equally. X invests $9,000, Y invests $7,000, Z invests $4,000. If the profits are $4,800, how much less does X receive than if the profits were divided in proportion to the amount invested?

11/12. I didn't put any effort into the article one, lol. Too bad I can't throw or run really fast, I'd be a lock for the NFL

 

[nboy22]

pretty easy stuff there...

I took a full Wonderlic test about a year ago and scored a 42/50 with a 12 minute timer.

It's somewhat sad hearing some of the rumored scores of these players, but I honestly wouldn't put much stock into a test like this come draft day.

 

[waggy]

hmm i read about the wonderlic test and it had far more questions and harder then that.

 

[jjones]

This is a test? For 3rd graders?

 

[Kelvrick]

Yea, only one I actually had to think about was the newspaper article one.

 

[yowolabi]

Now I can see why people think the Wonderlic has nothing to do with football.... it's because it doesn't.

You don't need to know math to recognize when the blitz is coming, or to recognize when a man is going to be open or not. You could be illiterate and still be a great quarterback, as long as you can memorize the plays.

I wonder what kind of scores they get on the SATs

 

[buck]

Hmm, I failed all but one.

My HS graduating class included a kid named Kieth Payne. This kid has insane football skillz, and will probably be at the NFL in a few years.

He got a football scholarship with UVA.

His COMBINED old SAT score was 800, his GPA was 2.4

I had 1380 and a slick engineering resume, with a 3.4 GPA, and they STILL rejected me :|

I got #3 wrong, but that's because I've been drinking.
