I'm thinking I probably wouldn't have, lol.

Not a chance now. Better chance when I was closer to high school and remembered the lower levels of complex math. I don't have to use Algebra et. al. in real life.

No Latin or Greek even offered in my high school.

Me


/Also hotlinked, so does that count as cheating too

Aside from 4km is 2.48 miles and the watch/locket/chain cost 144/18/54 I was pretty much lost. Higher math was over 20 years ago and I only speak enough foreign language to order the right drink at Starbucks.

[Dead...Again]

I probably would have been able to do the math stuff when I got out of high school. I may have been able to do some of the Latin stuff, but I doubt it.

[K PhaNTOM]

I was stupid back in the 19th century too

[Pumpkin_Jack]

I can do the math no problem the latin and greek im lost on and went probibly 50-50 for the rest

[DougBob]

What ever, I'd rather stay stupid than go to any school with a bunch of snobs.

Hell yea!

I skimmed through it, 0 latin, 0 math, did okay in the geography(compared to other sections).

I'd get that 12yr old genoius to write it for me
