  1. Man, I missed one. I got 9/10 right, but thought too much about one of them and ended up changing my answer to the wrong one…

  2. I got 9/10 as well. I am smarter than I thought!

  3. haha, i make you all look good. 6/10 right here. Wanna know the sad thing…i just graduated in 03′. HAHA.

  4. Which ones did you guys miss Chris and Jeff?

    I got 8/10 right. I am smarter than I thought as well. I missed Miosis/Mitosis…I wasnt sure which one it was so I went with the first one which was wrong. The other was the Industrial Revolution, which I started to second guess myself on and should have. I am still shocked that it wasnt more like 5/10 or less :-)

  5. I missed the Industrial Revolution one. Kind of a trick question if you ask me.

  6. Nah, its not a trick question. I missed The Pythagorean theorem question. I knew it was either the quadratic or pythag.
    Sheesh, and I didn’t even get credit for sending chris this link :)

  7. Well, Paul, did you post this link on your website? :-) I usually give credit if I see it on a website/blog, but I guess I’ll have to extend that to IM…

  8. I, uh, missed the area of the circle. I put πr^2 at first, but thought about it too much and convinced myself that was the circumference and changed my answer to 2πr. Got ‘em backwards

  9. Come on chris, everyone knows ^2 means area.

  10. I got a 10/10. So go me, I finally beat my brother at something.

  11. Hey — I was 7 for 10 but Canadians don’t study the U.S. Constitution (one I missed).

    And Chris - consider yourself properly blogged!
    GHT

  12. Okay you all can call me the idiot of the earth-I got 5 out of 10 right! I think I have short term memory when it comes to absorbing info. like that for a long time, but then again I am horrible at math and science so I was screwed from the beginning.

  13. I got 8/10. Robin, I was w/you on the mitosis, miosis. I knew it was one or the other… I forgot how I remembered which was which. I thought that maybe the “t” in mitosis meant two.. and picked that one. :( The other one I missed was the area of a circle only b/c I thought that the pi was a lowercase N and thought, what? so I picked the 1/2 the base * height, which is for a triangle.. oh well. Not as bad as I was afraid it would be!
