After you done beating them, I challenge you to classify all compact 3-manifolds from scratch!

 

[mitaiwan82]

only got 86% and skipped 2 questions...had some careless errors =P

 

[radioouman]

97%... there is a grammatical error in the question about renting office space. That caused me to choice the wrong answer.

 

[Garet Jax]

1 Wrong - 97%

The congruent triangle question.

 

[bunnyfubbles]

100% in 6 min 42 seconds while eating a full rack of ribs, watching TV, and fapping to some pics of Alba (also achieving orgasm in that time, twice)

I am so much l33t3r than you all

Right...appeared to be fairly clear cut to me.
100%, but to be fair, it is 8th grade math.

 

[brikis98]

100% in 16 min 24 seconds while working. meh.

 

[Firsttime]

80% in 16 min and 3 seconds. I suck at the looking at dumb trees with 1.5 meter tall boys next to them and telling how tall they are.

Now that you've completed the 8th Grade Math Challenge, here are the REAL results!
Your score was 66%!
You completed the Challenge in 21 minutes and 19 seconds.


EDIT: looking over some of the ones they said I got wrong and I in fact got them right. Maybe the scroll wheel changes the answer?

15 minutes 100%. I wish my problem sets looked like that.

 

[40Hands]

HAH...yeah like I want to go through that sh!t again....

 

[GregGreen]

89% in 21 minutes and 44 seconds. Missed four problems, two were typos. One was genuinely wrong and the other? How is not using a ruler and guessing how tall a tree is in comparison to Jose a question at all?

 

[paulney]

Got 3 wrong:
the sequence - had the right answer, but went for another explanation, which was not accepted
dolphin weight: calculated the max weight possible including decimal, but that was not accepted (technically correct)
percentages: forgot to calculate the percent increase, not just amount increase (doh!)

 

[GTaudiophile]

Your score was 94%!
You completed the Challenge in 21 minutes and 47 seconds.

Edit: I missed #s 12 & 18 (rounded on the latter).

 

[Eos]

60% in 24:56. I stopped math before pre-Algebra in high school and never went to college.

I am DAMN glad I'm smart in other subjects, or I would never succeed in life...

What's to be proud of, Minute Man?

 

[notfred]

Woohoo, a 25-year-old with a computer science degree is better at math than 8th graders. I don't really feel all that special.

 

[Kadarin]

By the way, it's "how you FARE", not "how you fair". Of course, now you're probably going to complain that grammar nazis are unfair.

 

[Corporate Thug]

80% in 24 minutes...

 

[magomago]

94% 14 minutes lol...the unfair part was which way was the "1/2" turn occurring...about the x or y axis

ah well...i'm a 4th year college student, all of us should be scoring this high cause its an 8th grade test.
I do'nt see what its really supposed to measure...aside from the fact that if you did bad then you need to learn some basic stuff again :x


and no i'm not going to take the 12th grade one...i spent 15 valuable minutes so i'm too lazy to do it again! and if its 12th grade, It'll probably be closer to 30 minutes


it is funny to watch the flags of every country in the "did worse than you" category But the again...college student vs 8th grader; )

 

[Taejin]

100% in 12min 32 seconds

nice to do some easy problems

 

[Rastus]

I was just checking this thread for spelling flames.

 

[Whitecloak]

Your score was 94%!
You completed the Challenge in 16 minutes and 21 seconds.

I don't think he'd fare too well.

- M4H

Sounds like a fair assessment.

 

[dbk]
