Take this common sense test

[SillyMe]

I got 10 out of 11 on my second try.

That's cheating.

 

[KristaTX]

Got them all right. It said only 3 people before me got them all right? How many people have taken this test so far?

hmmmm. . .I got them all right, too, and it also told me that only 3 people had ever gotten them right

 

[KristaTX]

I got 10 out of 11 on my second try.

Huh? Do the questions change each time you take it, or were they the same questions you had the first time ?

 

[Miller1412]

I got 9/11...the first two got me. Duh...of course there's a July 4th in England. I had to think hard about the man's birthday, even after seeing the answer. Duh!!

They were the same, but that 30 one was 25, I don't care what they say.

Yes it was.

Said that for me too!

 

[KristaTX]

They were the same, but that 30 one was 25, I don't care what they say.

It's the trick of dividing by fractions that got you. "30 divided by 1/2" is solved by changing it to "30 x 2/1". That gives you 60, plus the 10 gives you 70 . It is tricky.

I just retook it knowing I'd get them all right and this is what I got:

Your Score: 11 out of 11
Your Rating: Only 3 people have ever scored this high

I don't care how long I study that, it makes no sense. I don't like math.

Well obviously we can't trust these people to even score out tests then.

Let's talk about percentages, decimals, fractions

 

[KristaTX]

I'll give you my points

To be honest - I don't really understand why that trick works. Someone good at math can explain that to us all. I just am good at remembering tricks .

Mine said that too.

If you have 2 loaves of bread and 8 cans of bean dip and you are having a champagne party, how many can you serve if they each want a 1/2 ounce of bd on a 1/4 of a sandwich?? Oh, and how many will puke their guts out afterwards??

 

[Aidensmom]

I missed the pill one. I was thinking of effects.

 

[Michelina]

For the math one, I used a calculator! 30/.5=60+10=70

Well aren't you armed and dangerous.

 

[EEYOREMAMA]

Okay something is wrong with this test. I just got them all right too. I decided to copy and paste so that I could "show off." But I see that it told a couple of other "geniuses" that only 3 others before them got them all right. I'm cool with sharing the limelight but l'd be happier with an accurnate count.

First of all, you would never serve champagne with a bds And it all depends on how many bds's each person eats. And I always use a whole can for 1 sandwich, it is just proper.
