A mere 10/11

Sure my mother would be proud of me getting the Moses one wrong

What's with the baseball question? I put down what I thought was a cricket answer

1 Inning = both teams play an inning

An inning continues until three people are out

Hence, 6 outs in an inning, 3 per team, by which point, the inning is finished.

I think.

I was thinking cricket as well and got it wrong :/

PvtPyle · 11-07-2008, 08:23

There are 10 (or 20 depending on how you look at it) outs in a cricket innings, but wasn't the highest number only 8?

Ah I'm guessing it's three strikes and you're out...or something...

What do you mean 'not trick'?

As far as I can see, they're all trick questions, apart from maybe the divide 30 by half, which is just testing whether you're stupid or not

I got 10/11, because I've seen most of the questions before, the innings one is balls if you aren't American so I'll award myself 100%.

In baseball if you lose three members of your team your innings is over and the next team come in to bat, thats why its 3x2

I spotted a lot of them are trick questions so when I saw the maths one alarm bells were ringing in case I was being fooled into thinking it wasn't actually a genuine maths question.

It's all down to comprehension. If you understand the question it's easy. If you don't, you're going to get it wrong. That goes just as much for the maths question as for anything else.
