This “quiz” might be more for showing you how you can sometimes take a short-cut during a math test than than for showing how good at math you are.

Exactly the reason why "multiple choice" tests are for the lazy teacher's convenience, not for actually gauging the student's progress.

Best math teacher I had in school didn’t give us multiple choice tests and he made us show our work. He was fired after parents complained their kids weren’t passing math. Funny thing was he wasn’t fired because math was too hard for students. He was fired because he had a tutoring business on the side and was accused of making math difficult so parents had to hire him.
