I got 10/10, but I confess to guessing on one question because I can't remember the definitions of "integer", etc.

10/10 thankfully. (I'm an engineer)
But I too must confess. I guessed on one of them (2,2,3,4,5)

10 / 10, but I'm in engineering as well and a land surveyor what sucks at math would soon be out of work, lol.
I guessed at 2 of them.

All right... I can pass 8th grade math. Someone go tell the mean nun I had in the 8th grade that I wasn't all that bad.
I'm like you littlemeyer... I didn't guess on that one per se, since I knew it wasn't 3 of them, but I didn't remember that mode = the most common one, until it was the only choice left.

Same here. Process of elimination. I guess it was an educated guess then. But to tell you the truth, right before I clicked it, I thought that it might be median. Don't know why. I guess the pressure of the situation was getting to me.

I will be honest I got 9/10.... And the 2,2,3,4,5 is what I missed... For some reasonI couldn't wrap my brain around it with out a full cup of coffee. I was more impresses that I could do the basic algebra questions, considering how bad I was at that stuff in highschool.

I failed (6-10 correct) :( Never took anything but basic math and skipped school as much as I went back then. That is what I get for being a hippie growing up and in high school in the 60's. :D But, if I had a clue what things like ^ or (x-y)=j x 2 etc meant I am sure I would have passed. :D

4 of 10. I was good at it then but I got no place for it now. as long as I can balance my checkbook, simple math, that's all I need to know NOW. :?
Boy, my daughter better be a math whiz when she gets to learn this stuff because I won't be able to help her.:lol:

I'm not sure what driving a train has to do with math?
Unless it's one of those written problems.:lol:

Yes, I got 9/10. Maybe I'm not as stewpid as most of you all think I am.
