2. After seeing an ad for a new smartphone, Brian decided to get one. The next noon, he stopped by the local electronics superstore, about ten minutes away.

The next closest electronics superstore is fifteen minutes away, and has twelve people waiting for the smartphone when Brian got there. The waiting time per person is the same. If he would've gone straight to the second electronics superstore from home, he'd save five minutes. TRUE or FALSE: Brian would've taken the smartphone home faster if he hadn't left the other store.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: True

Sam has enough money to buy exactly six watermelons (27/4.5 = 6), without having any money left over. By the way, if you actually try to smash melons for a discount, you'd run the risk of paying for something you don't get to bring home.

Answer: False

This one is a bit tricky. If Brian stayed in line at the first store, he'd have to wait 30 second per person � 80 people. He'd wait 2400 seconds, or forty minutes, plus twenty for the drive there and back, so it would be sixty minutes, or an hour. The drive to the other one is twenty-five (ten minutes to the first store + fifteen from there) minutes + thirty seconds per person, which is 25 � 60 (seconds in a minute) + 12 people � 30 seconds, so 1500 + 360 = 1860 seconds. That is equal to thirty-one minutes.

The ride back home will take another twenty minutes, because he'd save five minutes for not stopping at the first superstore. 31 + 20 = 51, which is still less than an hour.

Answer: True

At first there were seven. When five left, two were still there. Six people got off the bus, and a third of them stayed. A third of six is two. Two plus two is four.

Answer: True

Because the twenty-year-olds account for half the people and a quarter of the people are in their thirties or forties, everyone else (50+ and toddlers) account for the last quarter of the people. Eight toddlers � 3 (3 times as many 50+) is 24. If you add the babies, you'd get 32, which is one fourth of the entire bar. Multiply that by four and you'd get 128.

Answer: False

If he'd trade in all 17 video games, Josh would get $51 dollars in in-store credit. However, he'd only be able to get four games, totaling only $48. Since he won't be able to buy any games with the remaining $3, he'd have to sell the last game for cash. Trading in for cash only gives 10% of the value, so he'd get $1.20, not $3.

6. John, a pawnbroker, bought an antique lamp for $75. He sold it for $120. TRUE or FALSE: John made a 62.5% profit off the lamp.

Answer: False

To find the profit, you have to take the sale price and divide it by the purchase price. Then, you have to subtract one, representing the original price. To find its percentage, you have to multiply the decimal by 100. 120/75 is equal to 1.6. Subtracting one leaves you with 0.6, or 60%.

7. Let's give your mind a break with a simpler problem: If you have a basket of nine apples and you gave one to each of your six friends, you would have enough to give your brother, father, mother, and yourself a whole apple each.

Answer: False

If you have nine and give six to your friends, you have three apples left. There are four people in your family, and three apples, which is not enough for all of your family members.

Answer: True

Jamie spent $600 ($200 � 3) dollars at the mall, giving her six entries. There are 597 entries besides her own, and thus 603 total entries. Six is 1% of 600, and because there are more than 600 entries, her chances are just under 1%.

Answer: False

Pi is used to figure out the area and circumference of a circle given the radius. It's also used to find the volume of cones, cylinders, and similar shapes. However, it is not required for finding a radius, which is simply a line segment connecting the center of the circle to an edge, or half of the diameter (a line segment in a circle going from edge to edge, through the center).

Answer: False

There is a fifty percent chance of getting EACH problem correct. However the chances of getting EVERY question right is not 0.5 / 10, but 0.5^10 (0.5�0.5�0.5....), which is about 0.00098, or 0.098%.
