How smart are you?

This is fun... with all the FCATS and MCATS the kids are taking right now, they should get them ready with tests like this.

Give it a try, some are quick while others make you hold up and think before you answer! Do the test before commenting.

  1. That was fun, I got them all right. Disclaimer: I've seen most of them before, but I think I got most of them anyway. The one that trips me up is the Ark.

  2. I got 10 out of 11.... the link was sent to me by someone in California.... and that's the one I got wrong... I figured anything goes in California and never even THOUGHT about him being dead!! LOL.. I just saw something about the Ark and Noah, or I'd have had that wrong too. I did cheat and use the computer calculator 30/.5 +10 = is that okay? Hahahaha

  3. I knew that was a trick question, I remember kids making that mistake in Jr. High math classes all the time.

    The CA question is funny, I think a lot of people figure, hey, it's California, whatever!

  4. Queenee wants to print it out and have PopPop take the quiz. I think once he figures out the pattern, he'll get them all.

  5. Great going BluePhan!
    Logito got 3... the innings, math, etc., he looked at it the way our schools would ask the question... like most people would, not looking for clever wording. Does England celebrate the 4th of July? No, but do they have one? Yes. Our minds want us to answer the question we hear most, not the one we are reading at present. You see England, you see 4th of July and you go NO and move on. Speed reading can be a problem in these cases. I do believe that if the test was given on paper, scores would be different. I know my initial response to the first question was NO... but at my age I asked why the Hell would they ask that stupid question? and caught on right away. My mood could have been different on another day and zipped along not realizing. Bill Gates and Logito have a lot in common, they are athletic, handsome, and lots of fun...with their 3 correct. I on the other hand got boring or something like that in the answer key. LOL... Logito said after reading the answers it was fun to see he was tricked. Most assume life has no trip-ups.
