Dumb question de jour....this from the 8th grade math test!
Which of these items do you need to be precise about?
A. Flowers in a garden
B. Baskets in a basketball game
C. Pennies in a piggy bank
D. Number of grapes in a bushel
Now...I know the answer is B, but I really have a thing for precision and money, and don't really care about sports, if you kwim! And I'm wondering if this question doesn't really belong in the verbal testing? DD13 brought it home as her daily ridiculous example.
I'm just reading this post and have to put in my 2 cents worth. The correct answer has to be D - otherwise the grape picker won't get the correct payment. Sheesh - what an idiotic question!
