too funny! I missed the widow question, the moses one, and the divide 30 by 1/2 and add 10 questions! that last one was really debateable as far as weather to divide by half or divide by 1 and then multiply by 2 like the test said shoulda been done.

8/11, I missed the same 3...although late at night after a LONG day, I think normally I wouldn't have missed any EXCEPT the divide 30, which I still think is BS. divide it BY 1/2, I STILL don't see how that is 60, grrr, lol. Nice quiz OP

30 divided by .5 = 60. .5 goes into 30, 60 times.
splitting it in half by dividing by 2 is not correct.

dividing by 1/2 is the same as multiplying by it's reciprocal.. namely multiplying by 2.. so

30/(1/2) = 30*2 = 60
add 10.... 60+10 = 70

there now all can understand

It is because most people do not understand fractions.

30/1 divided by 1/2.
When you divide a number by a fraction you invert the values of the fraction and multiply.
30/1 times 2/1.
That is 60/1, then add 10 to get the answer of 70.

As a mental exercize try this:
Thirty divided by Two.
30/1 divided by 2/1.
The rule is that when dividing one number with a fraction (two can be represented as a fraction, 2/1) you invert the 2 with the 1, and multiply.
30/1 times 1/2, or 30/2, or 15.

So, to get half of a number you divide it by TWO, not by one over two.

edit:**I guess I'm late to the draw... lol.

Got a 9. The Moses one fooled me. I think that number eight is an unfair question. Not just a trick question, there isn't enough information to answer (whether the first pill is now or after a half hour)

Oh, and apparently my love life is about to bloom. Great! At least somethin's bloomin' around here lol
