As some of you know,I have a sheet metal business + geometry as well as basic math is the predominant education that one needs in this business. I also collect old sheet metal fab. books + manuals from the 1800's.It is quite fascinating to see some of the projects that were given to apprentices that involved advanced trig.We think we are so smart today,HA!

Hmm...I'm smarter than the average bear. But, still did surprisingly bad, 68%.

70%, but I'm a lifelong Californian and the test was biased towards the eastern U.S., as it would have been in 1912.

Nailed the math and most of the geography but was surprised at how many grammar rules I've forgotten.

I bet we have a few on this site who already passed that test in 1912.
