Could You Pass 8th Grade Math?
Posted on May 14, 2008 by archiearchive FCD
As a part of a plot to make some of the readers of the archive think, I present a maths quiz.
Unlike many of the quizzes posted here and elsewhere in the blogipelago this will require some genuine thought and effort. It is a pity the correct answers are not shown at the end - although, with my perfect score, if you are curious, ask me and I shall, longwindedly give the correct answers.
Good Luck.
You Passed 8th Grade Math |
 Congratulations, you got 10/10 correct! |
easy-peasy!

Could You Pass 8th Grade Math?
Hmmmmph!!!! Oh no, you only got 6/10 correct! I never claimed to be able to do Math. I’m surprised I got that many right. I’m an artist, not a mathematician!
@ Kate, Well done. Join me up here on the podium
@ Buff, Yes, well, it still seems like a pass. Just.
Is there any room left on the podium? Although, I trained as an art teacher, I used to teach a lot of maths as well. Even came up with a way to introduce dullards to quadratic equations that has been adopted in several schools. *polishing nails and looking modest*
Hey, welcome, Daddy P. You mean you found a way of inculcating the beauty of squares into blockheads? Well done!
Buff wants to know what colour nail polish you are using and does Lo,TG know you are using it?
6/10 for me too. i prefer arithmetic
Well, I did better than on the news test. I got all ten.
And I got them correct!
….using blocks of cheese actually - not for my nails, obviously - teaching the little b*****s.
[One word to the TG and I'm mincemeat - this is turning into a recipe now - bye]
I got 8/10 but found the test hard. I just posted the results of this quiz, along with a short story about my iffy high school math experiences…
@nm, it certainly is more straight forward
@Cybe, nothing less was expected of you
@daddy P, Blocks of cheese - so they get to eat the correctly quadraticised lumps? Cheese, mincemeat, now all we need are some mashed spuds and we can have a shepherd’s pie.
@WC, strange how teachers have such power - no thought at all that a student’s poor results could possibly be due to poor teaching! Grrrrrrrrr
Woo-hoo! I got 10/10 too. My brain is feeling tired but springy…
Wow - now that I have found that I have smart readers - I will bring forward the hardest (by a quantum leap) blog quiz ever seen. Tomorrow will be interesting, I promise.
