Are you a math geek?

Hi everyone! I found this quiz years ago on a Webpage. I do not remember where. I hope you enjoy it!

1. It has been a long day, and your math teacher assigns a week's worth of homework in one day -- as usual. You:
 * Take this simple test to see if you are a math geek. Click the box next to your answer to find out how much of a nerd you are! **
 * go straight home and anxiously dig out that precious math book. There's nothing like a good dose of arithmetic to ease your brain.
 * grab a bite to eat and watch television. You'll do it in between the commercials.
 * wait until the announcements the next day to do your homework hoping your teacher won't notice that you've skipped a few problems.

2.Spring break has finally arived (everywhere but Fairfield High School!) and you're heading for the beach. You bring:


 * sunglasses and a bottle of tanning lotion. You can catch the rays while checking out the hotties.
 * your calculus book (it never leaves your side, right Mrs. Austin?)
 * a pail and a shovel. Maybe you could build a geometric castle -- maybe not!

3.Academic team is having a match today. You're so happy that you get to start. Your hand is on the buzzer eagerly waiting to buzz in. The question is "What is tan pi?" You ring in and answer:


 * "a month's supply of dessert" and rub your stomach hungrily.
 * "I think it's one."
 * "Zero." you sneer at the other hideous answers given by your opponents and think how dumb they are.

4. It's the last day of calculus class in college. You look at your book and...


 * burn it! Thank goodness no more math!
 * save it to pass on to your children as a keepsake. They will thank you one day for their valuable inheritance.
 * put it on the shelf along with all your other books from college. Maybe it will come in handy some day.

5. Your math teacher is always late to class. One day it was twenty minutes into the class and still no teacher. You:


 * wait until everyone else in the class has left and decide to leave also. You're not stupid. If no one else is having class, why should you?
 * sit in your seat working diligently on next week's assignment while all the other students have already dismissed themselves. Maybe the teacher will eventually show up.
 * make up the twenty minute rule which states that if a teacher hasn't shown up in the first 20 minutes of class, then the class is dismissed. Later you kick yourself for not thinking of the one minute rule.

6. Your house suddenly caught on fire. You are able to retrieve one thing while running out the door. You:


 * rapidly run into your baby sister's room and get her out of the house as soon as possible.
 * feel around for your computer. There's nothing like losing your best friend.
 * insanely think "forget my baby sister, forget my computer, where's my calculus book and calculator?"


 * SCORING**

1. a=3 b=2 c=1 2. a=1 b=3 c=2 3. a=1 b=2 c=3 4. a=1 b=3 c=2 5. a=2 b=3 c=1 6. a=1 b=2 c=3

Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily life is nothing without math. You can't go anywhere without your math book. Is life complete without math> You answer - NEVER!
 * Math Geek Until the End of Time (15-18 pts)**

You know when it's the appropriate time to use math and when it's not. You don't completely shun it from your life, but you don't worship it as a god either. You're pretty neutral when it comes to math. There's nothing wrong with that, but math teachers might think otherwise.
 * Math Geek? Maybe, Maybe Not. (10-14 pts)**

Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily life is everything without math. There are many important things in life, but math happens not to be one of them. Is that good or bad? You answer - Who cares?
 * Math? Huh???? (6-9 pts)**
