Math Geek Quiz

According to this one, I am (sadly) neutral when it comes to math.  Of course, I’d rather do the math and not fail than not do the math and fail.  I guess my studious nature makes me seem like one.  This one will also make you dizzy because it has animated dolphin icons jumping up and down as you take it.

I got the first four right and then gave up because it was bringing back too many bad memories of infinite geometric sequences and stuff.

I think I’ll start a new standup comedian routine.

You might be a math geek if…

1. You do word problems for fun on Friday night.

    2. You routinely think things such as, “What would Pythagoras do in this situation?”

    3. You belong to a math organization (math club, mu alpha theta, math honor society…etc.)

    4. You hold office in one of the above-mentioned organizations.

    5. Your creative writing stories contain sentences such as, “Mary and John raced toward each other like two trains leaving two different stations, one of which was travelling at a rate of 45 mph, the other at 56 mph.”

    6. And…(gasp)…you actually LIKE math!

    So, there it is. If any of you have any more “you might be a math geek”s, you can either email me at kieletakeuchi at yahoo dot co dot jp, or you can reply to this posting.
