Daily Quiz anyone?

[easthammer]

"If you are stuck at home and bored like me. How about exercising the old grey cells? I have for a number of years run quiz nights and couple of times a year. I was due to do one tomorrow which is now cancelled So I have a bank of questions sitting in my computer's hard drive. They are quite eclectic in their nature. I am thinking I could put up a set of questions for which you write down your answers. After 30mins or so I will put up the answers. DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS. before I post the right answers. You mark your own answers and post your score. I will then record the scores and at the end of the ""lockdown"" we will see who is WHO's brainbox supreme. Obiviously no looking up the answers (you only cheat yourselves) Word of warning these won't be easy questions as they have been devised for teams of six. Forming teams on here might be too problematic. So I'll try to pick out the easier questions. Any interest?"

"Our value is g 2/5g - 4 < 6. means that 2/5 of a number , then subtract 4 is less than 6 (Add 4 to our number and add 4 to 6. This cancellls out the -4) Leaves us with 2/5 of a numer being less than 10. Multiply everything by 5 to cancel out the /5. This leaves us with 2x our number being less than 50 Divide everything by 2 to cancel out the x2 Our number is less than 25. We'll never know what the number is, all we know is that is is less than 25. If I plug any number into that formula bigger than 25. It won't be less than 6. Eg. If I use 20. 2/5 of 20 - 4 = 4. Which is less than 6 If I were to use 30 2/5 of 30 - 4 = 8. This is greater than 6 and doesn't match our rule. = is not necessarily the ""answer"" to a question. It means equal to. A sum can also have greater than or less than as part of the answer Eg 2+2 is equal to 4 2 + 2 is less than 5 It's just that 99% of the time answers come with an equals sign. Hopefully that's a little clearer"

"23 thanks. Got the calculator out for the last one. Didn’t get the 2nd last one and seeing the answer, I still don’t get it!"

[easthammer]

Full marks 26? I didn't need the calculator but had to reach for pen and paper on the last one. My arithmetical skills have always been reasonable but somewhat slower these days.

"25, thanks MD. Didn't get the penultimate question either."

"Somehow didn't paste the last 2 properly. Amended it. 2nd to last one is an inequality. It's solved exactly the same way as a linear equation. Just with a greater than sign instead of an equals sign. The final bit was missing off it g < 25. You do the opposite to cancel out everything associated with the missing value. Eg -4, you add 4 to both sides to cancel it out"

23 I think I didn't understand the second to last one at all. The answer to the last one is 168g.

"Thanks MD. 6, told you I I was crap at maths!!"

"With working out. Orrect answer = full marks on a question. If you've not got the right answer but have some working out you can pick up marks. If you're not sure if you get marks post up what you did and I'll.let you know. 1) Write 6184 to nearest hundred (1 mark) 6200 2) write 0.7 as a fraction (1) 7/10 or 70/100 or 35/50 (or equivalent) 3) Change 9 meters into centimetres (1) 900cm 4) Simplify 3 x 4t (1) 12t 5) Here’s a list of numbers 20 40 60 80 100 One of these is a multiple of 25. Which one? (1) 100 9 ) here are the first 5 terms of a sequence 3 8 13 18 23 a) write the next tern in the sequence (1) 28 b) write the ration of the 2nd term to the 4th term in simplest form (2) 8:18 is simplified to 4:9 13) there are 50 teachers in a school. This is 1/16 of the total number of people in the school. Work out the totsal number of people in the school (2) 50 x 16 = 800 16) paulo drives at an average speed of 56km/h for 1 hr 45 mins. Work out paulo’s distance (3) 56 x 1.75 or 56/60 x 105 (minutes) = 98km 17) there are 3 cinema’s A,B,C The mean number of seats per cinema is 380 There are 350 seats in A There are 250 in B Work out number of seats in C (4) 3 x 380 = 1140 (the total number or seats) 1140 – 350 -250 = 540 seats in cinema c 18) asha buys 180 cans of cola. The cans are sold in packs. There are 12 cans in each pack. each pack costs £3 a) work out the total cost of the cola asha buys (3) 180 / 12 (number of packs) = 15 x £3 = £45 23 c) solve 2/5g – 4 < 6 (3) 2/5g – 4 < 6 +4 to both sides (cancel out the -4) 2/5g < 10 X 5 both sides to cancel out the /5 2g < 50 Divide both sides by 2 to cancel out the x2 Therefore g < 25 25) last year a family recycled 800g of household waste 57% of this waste was paper and glass Weight of paper recycled: weight of glass recycled = 12:7 Calculate the weight of glass the family recycled (3) 800/ 100 x 57 = 456kg paper and glass 12+7 = 19 shares of the ratio 456 / 19 = 24kg for every share of the ratio 7 shares is glass at 24kg each 7x 24 = 168kg"

Yes. This Is a calc paper

"Seeing as the last maths exam was yesterday, here’s some questions from this year’s foundation level (ie the easier one) paper 2 from last week. The number of the question is that of the exam. Tis is copied word for word. Obviously any ones with diagrams I’ve skipped. 1) Write 6184 to nearest hundred (1 mark) 2) 2 write 0.7 as a fraction (1) 3) Change 9 meters into centimetres (1) (you’d be shocked how many get that wrong) 4) Simplify 3 x 4t (1) 5) Here’s a list of numbers 20 40 60 80 100 One of these is a multiple of 25.

5 today thanks Zico

[Westside]

"Just 4, thanks."

[Far Cough]

I mentioned did you get catatonic which is another term for getting smashed

[Far Cough]

6 thanks zico

[Mad Dog]

"Zico. Yep, she obliterated me. And I can handle my ale."

[Mad Dog]

Fucking hell. 1
