All in my head - the footsteps one nearly had me check the calculator - but 225 * 4 = 900 so it was a question of a stride being 0.4cm or 40cm...

That's the only one I got wrong, as I missed the "in cm" bit at the end.
Not really math, more reading.

Yep, I almost missed that one, too.

I'm getting too old to think of that: I just refused to do 900000 / 22500 in my head!

"You scored 100%!"
Mind you, I did cheat. After question 5 I got out a pencil and paper and stopped doing it in my head.
Then after question 7 I grabbed a calculator!

Is that cheating? I don't recall seeing any text about you having to do it all in the head (there should be plenty of room there, mind you)

Is for me - when I left school and went to Uni, I didn't even own a calculator! (I did own two slide rules though, and I think I still have both of them)

I haven't owned a Calculator in my life. Does that make me a genius?

Before being allowed to use one rotted my brain I was able to do problems like 98*76 or 9*876 in my head faster than anyone could tap the buttons on the idiot box and win about half the time with problems like 98*765 or 9*8765. If I wanted to show off I could do problems like 9876*54321 too but had no chance of beating a button masher.
My informal test for how clueful grade school teachers were was to see how long it took before they realized that if they were going to offer a prize for a basic in class math-game (generally flashcard speed) that unless they offered them for the top two spots they might as well just save some time and give it to me at the start of the day.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Taylor Series Expansion is Maths.
This just Arithmetic, chaps.

so you don't own a mobile phone - I haven't seen one, not even a dumb one that doesn't include a calculator - or a PC - Windows comes with one, every version of Linux I've seen also does, I suspect Macs do as well.
So I'll go with the poor option as well.

Being "Brighter than BoJo" is akin to being "Better looking than SuBo"* - a feet most can attain and a point of embarrassment should you fail.

10/10, as usual with these types of questions, the maths is fairly easy. It is reading and understanding the question that tends to trip folk up because they rush, then apply the wrong logic.

I agree. This was less of a maths tests than a reading comprehension test.

I answered the second choice in every question. I scored 30%.

247 - how many have you got left? You do the maths!
