Don't feel bad Erica - you don't have to be smart, you can get away with being cute
I got one right, which makes me a bloody genius in my mind.

Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

[lawrocket 3]

Dang it. I missed the second question.

Fun quiz, though.

I got all but the math one. And it really PISSED me off...But I didn't have to use the calculator, I figured out how it tricked me all by myself.

I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box.

Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

[steve1 5]

Let's just say that I'm not the sharpest tool in the box. Or maybe about as sharp as a marble, but I do have a Master's degree............Master Steve1

Well, I take exception to the answer provided to the second question. I think you can overtake the last person in a race. It just means that you would become the new last-place runner.

Gosh, geez, thanks!

But I'z edumecated. and w/o a calculator I can't even figure out how the math one tricked me - so much for that stupid BA in finance

I wish I was a sharp as a marble, right now I feel like a mallet.

How does that work? If you are in a place to overtake the last person, wouldnt you yourself already be the last person? You cant overtake yourself...

[AndyMan 7]

I missed the 'overtaking the lask person' one. 3 outta 4 aint bad...

You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

[FliegendeWolf 0]

No, you just begin as the second-to-last runner, and then overtake the last runner to become the new last runner.

Because you have 4090 before the last step, and when you add ten, your brain wants to pretend you have 4900 and add 100.
