Can You Pass Middle School Math.

The circle going round and round means whatever you are looking at is still loading. Sounds like you have a problem.

I always call that symbol "circling the drain." Usually an indication of what's to come.

Guess this is the test for some of today's students that expect a trophy for just showing up.

I'm tired of the "everyone gets a trophy" attitude. There's going to be a lot of disappointed adults if /when they "grow up" because they aren't used to failure and starting over. The archery club I belong to had a youth shoot and we didn't even get home before the phones started ringing with complaints. The parents were upset there kids didn't win. It wasn't fair they had to shoot against better archers. I wanted to yell "Tell your kid to practice more" but I was polite.

Aced it, without pencil paper or a calculator. Maybe I was in the right profession that I retired from, (Accountant), LOL.
 
I also guessed at some of them and aced it. After reading the comments from other people on that page, I am convinced that if you can demonstrate that you are still taking oxygen out of the air you will most likely ace that test.

ON EDIT: I went back and took it again, doing all of the math and purposely entering a wrong answer for each question. I still passed! Bogus, totally bogus!

Well, I was feeling pretty good about it (aced it too) until I read the comments. I did, however take oxygen out of the air and attempted to show up, so do I get a trophy too? I think some of the answers were "there's no wrong answer".

Thanks for the link. It was still a hoot. I'm outmatched when we watch "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader".

BTW, the upward facing carat (arrow) means raised to the power of. Gotta love exponents.
 
Aced it, however middle school wasn't too long ago :)
 
Try this, don't read or even look at the questions. Just click an answer every time a new question appears. In 11 seconds I aced the test.

Andre, when we went to school there was no middle school nor was there pre-school. K-8 then 9-12. After that, one of three things happened. You either went to work, went to college or went into the service. Viet Nam was in full swing so most of us were service bound.

In some places there was "junior high" which was 7th and 8th grade.
