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?"

Yes I fucked the ratio one up My fault as I typed the answer in a rush during a lesson Yes each share is £7 35/5 =7. 7x11 =91 And the letter question I fucked up the wording. It should have been which VOWEL And because the question was wrong everyone gets a point (exam rules) The percent profit one is correct as it is profit of the original. This is entirely my fault for trying to type during a lesson populatd with y10 fuckwits

"1) Sean pays £10 for 24 chocolate bars. He sells all 24 chocolate bars for 50p each. Work out Sean’s percentage profit. £10 = 100% £12 = 120% Ans = 20% 20% is mark up on cost. His profit is 16.66%. Sales income £12, of which £10 is cost, £2 is profit. £2/£12, 16.66%."

Mad Dog. Using your answers 11. Not wishing to be so cocky as to argue the toss (with a maths teacher?) but: 4) What letter does not appear in 1-99 A? I put D but there are a few. Have i missed something? 9) Colin and Dave share money in the ratio 4:9 dave gets £35 more than colin. How much money was shared £35 = 5 shares. 13 shares in total = £65 4 x 5 =20 9 x 5 = 45 45 – 20 = 25 not 35. I made it 91 in total 13 x 7 = 91 4 x 7 = 28 9 x 7 = 63 63 – 28 = 35. Extra 2 or go stand in the corner?

"Thanks for today MD. Thankfully I am working this afternoon so no need for me to attempt a maths quiz of which I am absolutely hopeless and wouldn't even attempt! Even looking at those questions fills me with dread as my mind does a blank and memory takes me back to my maths exam where I think I got a point for my name!! Enjoy all, and here is updated scores table. Mad Dog

Sorry Zico your efforts to help my ignorance were misplaced as I missed the quiz today. Looking at the answers i knew 7 so probably would have got about 4!

"Ha ha ha To quote captain America, ""I understood that reference"""

[riosleftsock]

"I thought everybody knew the first five (pentateuch); Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy - they are also pretty much the Torah and much of the Quran. The rest of the OT is beautiful - psalms, song of solomon, chronicles, kings, proverbs and then there are the books of the prophets. Genesis and Exodus explain how the earth and man was 'created', the next three lay out the laws and the rest are either prophesies or lessons."

[Far Cough]

"socko, I know the Pentateuch, then after that I get a bit lost"

[riosleftsock]

I believe you can get an ointment for that now.
