Default Maths quiz

Give this a try guys. I only managed 5 out of 10. Bloody hard. I admit to taking complete guesses on the last 3

Q. 11

If poster (A) scored 5 in a maths quiz, poster (B) scores 6 and poster (C) scores 7, what score is poster (D) likely to report?

Does it count as cheating if i got an honors degree in financial maths just over 2 years ago?

Got the first two....then got a bit lost, whats this / ..

Anyway, I used the force on the next 7 and got A total of 5 out of 10...

I was going to edit this...but it just shows how bad my maths is...got the first two and guessed the next seven...there was ten questions...

i did simple calculus at at 'O' level ffs. additional maths certainly. HNC was a nightmare and when i transfered to my degree we did some really hard sums that i couldn't even contemplate now.

any wonder they are getting 99% pass rates at gcse. bring back differentiation and integration at gcse. that would sort the men out from the boys
