While acing this quiz doesn't prove you're a genius, you're at least pretty darn smart.

I'm sure I missed the question about the triangles. Other than that, it's anyone's guess.  :P

LOL! You're definitely not stupid, David!  The triangle sides are always 3, 4, 5...Pythagorean theorem...ie...25 = 9 + 16  (square of the legs = square of hypotenuse or longest leg)....The tricky one for me was the dividing by 1/2 - it's really multiplying by 2!!  Too much math - I didn't make Mom take this one  ::) 8).

I messed up a baker's dozen. Never heard this expression before  :-\.


LOL! You're definitely not stupid, David!  The triangle sides are always 3, 4, 5...Pythagorean theorem...ie...25 = 9 + 16  (square of the legs = square of hypotenuse or longest leg).... 8).

But Pythagorean theorem is only valid for a right-angled triangle



When the angle gets bigger than 90°, the third side becomes longer:



(The above pics are not scaled, They only shall illustrate the angles.)


So the question is not correct; it's not well-defined. There are triangles where the shorter sides are 3 and 4 inches, but the longest side is more than 5 inches.

See, David, it's not your fault. Those blog-thing questions are stupid, not you  :-*

Anyone care to give all correct answers?

Had the Bakers's dozen wrong (never heard of it before either) and the triangle question. But I got a third one wrong and cannot figure out which one it is?

I think I remember taking this test before. If I remember correctly, I did better on it the LAST time I took it.

I guess I've become stupider since then.  ???

You Are 60% "Average American"



You are average because you support affirmative action.

You are not average since you would pay to go in space.
