Post by Disneyphile »

This quiz appeared in my local newspaper. I figured you guys would like to take a crack at it.

1. How many days of the week contain the letter "u"?
2. How many face cards are in a deck of 52 cards?
3. How mnay months have four-letter names?
4. Subtract 5 from the number opposite it on a clock
5. 30 - 8 = A + A. What is A?
6. How many zeroes are in the number one million one hundred?
7. How many straight lines are on a cube?
8. You paid $24 with a 20 percent discount. What was the original price?
9. What is the smallest positive number evenly divisible by 7 and 15?
10. Total all the numbers from 1 to 10.

You can say how many you figured out, but please don't post the answers here, except in hidden type.
