Because NoName was being lazy, I have to make this again -.-
Even though this involves intelligence.
For forgetful people. Chances are, you don't remember your basic 7th grade math beyond what you use for trigonometry.
So I've come up with this. I give you a set of 10-20 math problems daily, and you guys answer them. These are so simple you probably don't remember them. Some of these may be a little harder, but incorporate the same principles involved.
Also, this is a point system. Those who score above 90 get 5 points. Those who score between 80 and 90 get 4. Then 3. Then 2. Then 1.
A=5 B=4 C=3 D=2 F=1
I will also give you a basic overall score. Once you sign up, you're in. Your 'grade' if you will, will fall if you do nothing.
And yes, this is me playing control freak and teacher, I'll admit it. But this will also see who can do basic stuff will relative ease. And yes, basic stuff is hard if you haven't done it in years.
Okay, it's not quite 6:00 AG time yet, but I think you're all that I'm going to get for now, so I'm posting results.
Graham, you scored 80. #3 was incorrect because you hadn't seen that I had NO parentheses, and therefore came up with the wrong answer. If I had parentheses, you would be correct.
Soulhack, you scored 60. #3, see above. For #5, see Graham's process.
Fractal, you scored 80. See Graham's for details.
WhiteStripe, you scored 20. SAA. For the others, typos DO drop your grade.
#3 was the hardest, I see. If it were to have been (44 / 11) + (6 x 10), you all would have been right. But the rule of parentheses is that they have to be there to be able to be used. The correct answer was 100.
Well done. All of you. At least you tried. So the board is at
Eh methinks I quit. Sorry, but I've already up to my neck in math as it is. I'm getting off now anyway. Jessica is getting on, she might be interested.
Jonnycakes up there(thank you the_manta)is getting off the computer and I'm getting on. So, can I join? I love competitive math. I'm only in sixth grade, but I think I can do this.
