Love this format of quiz! Great as always Shaun 😊

Couldn’t understand how to get my final score.

[@margaretkohn686]

Uvula

[@Rerry]

please, let them free. they arent new, but scared. you dont understand now, but the fortune isnt yours. trade, trade, trade. good luck maam. much liver

[@darksoul479]

I don't know why I take these quizzes? All I do is prove to myself how dumb I actually am.

[@detormentis]

Noooo... its for fun! Enjoy it!

[@aarya2]

It's nothing wrong in knowing one more thing. keep learning

[@dpfitforlife81]

I feel like at least 10 of the questions are things I knew once upon a time but just forget from not using it.

[@youtubeviewer4127]

Its fun anyway, if you don't know it then you learn it here

[@KarlLaFong-v2q]

I feel that way about Jeopardy, which I watch every night and rarely get any answers right

[@musicoldies83]

For question # 91 you can argue that triangle is the correct response from the perspective that the main face of the other shapes involves 4 enclosed lines - even though the cube is the only multifaced shape - versus a triangle which only has 3 enclosed lines which encompasses its shaped face.

[@zs4673]

That was my reasoning as well.

[@Mahadevan760]

Even I agree with this.

[@detormentis]

How many lines encloses a cube? It's its not the sides/edges differentiating. The Cube is 3D, the other are 2D geometric shapes.

[@musicoldies83]

@@detormentis I wasn't disagreeing with that viewpoint. I was just stating that the way you phrased the question "Which is the odd one out?" didn't specify exactly what constituted the distinguishing feature that separated any one choice from the others, so there are now 2 correct responses to that question. If you had wanted the sole correct response to be "cube", then you should have mentioned the distinguishing parameter that would have solely qualified that answer as being the only correct response: thru referencing the number of faces in your question, versus the shape of each face. Since neither characteristic was mentioned in your query, both "cube" and "triangle" are correct responses.

[@pmbbmp]

@@musicoldies83 That's the point of the question. For YOU to figure out what the distinguishing feature is. It's not a knowledge question it's an IQ question. BTW...a cube is enclosed by 12 lines, not 4

[@kathykaveh1471]

93/100 (Missed 4 of in the geography section alone, which is my weak point!) I have to nit-pick on two questions. For question 93, while "quirky" is correct; "weird" is also a viable option. And on question 91, you can also argue that triangle is the odd one out because all the others have four sides whereas a triangle has three sides. Thoughts? Thank you Sean. Loved it!

[@surfaceten510n]

But a cube has four sides x six all others are single dimensional shapes

[@detormentis]

Thank you so much! Excellent score. Question 93 is open for debate, I agree... But on 91, the shapes are 2D, and except for the cube. The triangle has 3 sides (or edges), while the cube has 4x6 = 24 edges.

[@detormentis]

Yes!

[@pmbbmp]

A cube does not have 4 sides, it has 6 sides (planes) and 12 edges. A tringle has one side and 3 edges.

[@pmbbmp]

@@detormentis each edge is shared by 2 sides..so 12 edges, not 24

[@rocky7522]

I got 62 correct. I'm pretty sure the bonus question answer is uvula.

[@aljoschalong625]

correct

[@RodericSpode]

Dammit I couldn't think of it. Back in the very early days of SNL they did a joke where they used the word uvula, a word few people would know, and implied that it was something dirty. Anyway, I don't remember if the joke was very funny, but back then I looked up the meaning of uvula and haven't forgotten it until I took this quiz. Well I knew it but couldn't remember it.

[@bobhond5856]

'Derpite' 😂😂😂 Thanks Sean, I really enjoyed this quiz. It's surprising how you don't forget stuff you learned so long ago in school. Thank you, and thanks for keeping your questions interesting.

75 for me. Wish you had extra points for answering before the clues come up. I use an abacus to keep my score too.

[@RosemaryGrow]

I am well through college and medical career and was never exposed to this type of questions . Though answering 95 correctly it’s mostly from reading and experience . Answer to bonus question is uvula. Love this challenge . Thankyou Sean !

[@GGLD888]

Bugger. Got that question wrong then

[@pmbbmp]

It's a commonly believed myth that haiku are 17 syllables. Haikus are written in Japanese and Japanese is a non-syllabic language. One of the most famous Haikus "Tundra" is only two syllables. Haiku's (among other things) should be short enough to be spoken in a single breath. Generally less than 17 syllables and rarely more

[@quizzerdave7849]

I fell down on quite a few in this quiz. Excellent as always. Thanks Sean

That was a fun quiz. I'd like more in this format, Sean. I got 93/100. The uvula is at the back of your throat-great job as always.😄🗺👍

[@mienislav]

I'm not a native. 66/100 seems better than expected value, so I'm not as dumb as I thought. If I solved the same in my language, then I would definitely have 90+.

i didnt do as well as i thought. so i better not apply for college. but of course i never was or did. loved there were no ads. its why i stayed to the end. after high school i attempted higher learning but realized since i didnt have to i wasnt going to. im doing just fine without a degree or even certificate, and im not in debt to any school.

[@koresgautam]

history part too

[@kevinstreeter6943]

You only need basic arithmetic and read and write at the adult level All subjects start at the beginning. At my college, the only math requirement for all was college algebra, something I learned in high school.

[@VonnieKH]

These questions have nothing to do with a person’s ability to get through college. I bypassed a college entrance examination by starting at a community college where you didn’t have to take that test to get in. Then I transferred to a four-year college for my junior and senior year. There’s hope for everyone.

[@detormentis]

Correct. Hence the disclaimer at the end, that this is not a varsity entrance exam. It is a fun quiz, along the lines of "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader". As an adult, you don't need top take a quiz to know whether you are smarter than a 5th grader, surely.

91, for us, Sean. We weren't looking forward to it, but ended up really enjoying it 😊 Thank you so much 😊

Not too many comments on the bonus question, I believe it is the epiglottis. Got 76 right 52 years after graduating from college!!

[@drift8832]

I believe it is called the uvula

[@detormentis]

The uvula, yes. It is teardrop shaped and hangs down, whereas the epiglottis is leaf-shaped and operates as a 'lid'.

[@detormentis]

Great score!

[@muchomacho2504]

Uvula baby. Can't figure out how anyone can miss these easy questions.

Hi Sean, another great quiz. I managed. a total sccre of 82. I missed the Bonus answer of uvula. Now I know what that dangly bit is and what it's function is all about. Always learn something new with your wonderful quizzes. Thank you as always.

[@BarryMcFarland-i5x]

This was quite a bit easier than your other quizzes. 95/100 - I've hit Einstein before but only at the bottom end of the range.

[@detormentis]

It was, yes. I tried limiting it to school knowledge.

[@mc4661]

81. No idea about the business questions.

[@UTU49]

Yeah, same. Outside of business and geography, I only missed 3 questions.

[@fredae.mcdermott]

Great quiz Sean, most enjoyable and informative. I scored 90 / 100. Maybe I could get into college at the ripe old age of 77 ! I think the bonus answer might be the tonsils.

[@meleishaclarke529]

Thanks again, Sean...this was fun! Bonus answer is uvula? Tesla award for me...fell down in Finance and History

Maths/Business/Accounting was hard, even I thought so! Correct on the bonus!

I answered 94 correctly. I think the answer to the bonus question is epiglottis.

Great score! I am looking for uvula as the bonus answer, but will accept epiglottis!

[@user-hr5pc3rt2n]

I think this quiz might be better suited for grade 8 students to gain entrance to high school. Surely any university would require greater depth and breath of knowledge than this quiz offers.
