• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

how smart are you

Seven. It would have been eight if I had taken the first pill right away instead waiting 1/2 hour.
 
6, but I don't agree with #6. 30 ÷ by.1/2 is not 60.... common core at its finest.:dontknow: but I get the trick...

:shocked: Ummm... yes; it is. nojoke
If you simply think of it as "How many 1/2s, can you fit into 30: it makes sense...
Old Math: VERY old Math! :D
Since we all have calculators handy: divide 30 by .5, and see what pops up.
 
11 here

Well.

My wife tried explaining it to me, but I just can't figure out how you can divide something, and get a higher #?

Next you'll be telling me 30 x 2 = 15.....:gaah:
 
No...
But I while mention that thirty times one-half, is fifteen...
...And thirty divided by one-half, is still sixty! :D

You're looking at it wrong.

If you asked a cashier to give you change for 30 One Dollar Bills in 50 cent pieces, you would be dividing each dollar by 1/2. You would end up with 60, 50 cent pieces in the deal. If the cashier gave you 15, 50 cent pieces for your $30.00 you'd be pretty upset.

I got all 11 right. It's simply a matter of perspective and reading the questions literally instead of interpreting them according to the common language we use every day.

But I do have an issue with the ark question Actually, Noah brought 7 of each sex of the 'Clean' animals (those used in sacrifice) onto the ark. So they got 1 wrong with the inaccurate question. However, the answer would still be the same.

30 divided by 1/2 = 30 divided by .5 = 60

It took me awhile. :thumbup:
