a no hint 7...I guess I better "crack down" next week.
Matched Bonnie's no-hint 7. Did better on last week's "hardest quiz ever". Should have gotten the unemployment one right since I would have made more than all the choices except the correct one had I stayed on unemployment the whole year.
A strong 13/15 this week. The two I got wrong related to my least favorite topics: math and football. You found my achilles heel, Bob.
6/14
OMG, you are putting math word problems in the quiz! How did you do with those in school?
8 of 15. I used a different strategy this week. Instead of looking at the hints I asked my 6 year old daughter about all of the ones I wasn't sure of. Not exactly a winning strategy.
7 without hints. Of course question 4 should really have some sort of unit designation for the gasoline.
(Bob notes: My mistake. Have added the units of measure)
6 out of 15 isn't so bad, when oprah's involved...
