I took the challenge and did very well...but damn did I need to clean out the cobwebs and remember what I learned years ago!...damn kids nowadays would easily fail this test as would most adults!...I scored a 95 and an A...they said I should be headed to Harvard!......I sent them an email...nope, University of Maryland at College Park, class of '94, BS degree in business management and logistics!......PS...I only took the test once and didn't cheat...well except I had to use the calculator a couple of times because I didn't feel like writing it out on paper and showing my work...some questions are very easy, some require common sense, some require what we learned way back in both grade and middle schools, and some are extremely hard...Here is my score!...

Got 37/40 for 92%; one of the questions mentioned WWI and the Vietnam War so it couldn't be from 1912.

that was one of those I had to think about...at first, I too thought 80 boys and 40 but then I caught my self and answered the question "Literally"...and since the answers were already given via multiple choice, you take 72 girls and multiply by 2/3 and you get 48 boys!...

[Da Manster!]

no

2/3 the # of total Girls

120 total kids

72 girls total

48 boys = 2/3 of the girls

i agree it was confusing but it is correct

correct cuddles, it was more/less the wording of the question.

[Da Manster!]

Too many questions.

pics or it didn't happen!...

[Da Manster!]

Yeah I quit after the vietnam war was mentioned that was retarded

obviously they didn't use that as a choice way back in 1912, but was probably added on this test just as a filler.

oops, my bad, that's what happens when you underestimate simple math. always read the whole question.

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

I only got 10%

[greenhippo]

Or if you just know 48 is 67% of 72 you wouldn't need to do any math. 2/3rd of something = you take half of the small number and add it to itself to get the larger number. Very easy.

[Hu$tle]

too many questions
