Head of the Clas

Posted on 05/10/2010 6:17:47 PM PDT by Maine Mariner

Okay, we are playing an education game called Head of the Class. The subject matter is mathematis, the level is Scholar (intermediate). Here are three questions with answers that do not make any sense.

If N = 4.5+9.7, what is the value of N? Answer 10

If N2 = 100, what is th value of N? Answer 14.2

What is the value of 23? Answer 8

If anyone can explain these answers my family would be grateful.

I think you are playing a drinking game and you are on about round 10.

The first two questions are inverted. Their answers are swapped.

The third might make sense were there a fourth to pair with it, although "the value of 23" is pretty straightforward.

That's easy.......

Train A arrives first.

Sally is left with 2 dimes and one nickel.

The butler did it.

I assure you I am not. This is a board game. These are the questions with the answers.

Depends on the base.

Are you sure that game is not from China and actually labeled “Head of Crass”?

Those answers are wrong.
Never assume that just because it's in a book it is gospel.

I find at least one of those a day. I remember once returning a "Disney encyclopedia for children," which had an average of one such error per page.

Yes, the people who wrote the question did not put 2^3 but only 23.
Thank you.

FREEPERS did it.

N^2 =100 so N = 10.

4.5 +9.7 =14.2.

All very simple mistakes on the part of the people who prepared this game. I was looking for something far more complicated.
