That first question about the ball and bat is wrong. The answer is wrong. If the ball costs .05 cents but the bat costs a dollar more, the total would be 1.05, not 1.10. Correct me if I am wrong.

Oooh, those were fun, took me about one minute to figure out all three, but I kinda figured they were “trick” questions.

Are you guys getting different questions each time ? I got the ball and bat question - and phrased the way it is on the site is easy peasy. It’s actually phrased more complicated here.

And the other two took 5 seconds and I got them right.

Are the other questions you’re getting the machines and lilypad question ?

It would be better if the third question was “What is ‘Aleppo’”

I can't get the page to load properly but I heard the first question in a lecture by Daniel Kahneman, a Nobel Prize winner in economics who wrote the book Thinking Fast and Slow. He said that 50% of Harvard students get it wrong.
