Can you pass eighth grade?

6 of 8
I always sucked at geometry, so it's no surprise I missed the triangle question.
Romeo & Juliet put me to sleep as quick as any cirriculum I've ever studied, so that's not a shocker I missed that one.
I was certain 'Pangea' was the answer. That was the only word I'd ever heard of on that question. I really would have put a lot of money on 'Pangea' being the answer.
Ah well.
How many eighth graders can crank out a 20-inch gamer on deadline? [/stupid old guy trying to make himself feel better/]

 

Eight for eight. I still use math regularly, so the triangle one was no problemo.

Used process of elimination on the Shakespeare question, and No. 8 was featured in some article recently.

 

Give Bush 2 more years and answer all 8 questions "God is good," and you're in like Flynn to ninth grade.

 

Dumbest in the class. I win.

One.

Buh-rother.

 

How?

 

I got five ... (I thought I was going to get No. 8 ... I swore it was Laurasia).

I definitely think this was more 10th grade than eighth.

I was advanced in math, but I was only on Algebra I in the eighth grade. I think I took geometry freshman year, then trig, then pre-calc, then calc ...

I didn't take biology until the 10th grade ... we didn't touch Shakespeare until 9th or 10th grade. So I call bullshit on the whole eighth grader thing.

What stuns me is that I was very good in math, even took engineering level calculus as a freshman in college, but I was lost on the geometry question. It's been so long since I've done any of that stuff that it was like Greek to me.

 

You're far too kind.

 

6 out of 8.

I didn't know the answer to that Congress one and I thought that last one was actually Pangea. Did anyone else pick Pangea?

 

I got seven of eight, and I'm a little pissed off about it.
Pangea is the only supercontinent of which I've ever heard. I've never heard the names any before that one.

 

And you could pick out BJ's house on a map, blindfolded!

 

7 of 8. Grrrrrrr. What a pisser.

Geometry's a bitch. (And to think, geometry was the advanced math class I did *best* in during high school.) God, I hate stupid, useless math. Because of this, I have tried to live my life around only adding and subtracting and multiplying, and I've been very successful at this, mostly through sheer stubborness. Consequently, my life is very happy sans geometry, algebra and, especially, trig and calculus. Fuck that shit.

 

What's cal-coo-liss?
