    I got 27 out of 30.

    I couldn't figure out numbers 7, 19, and 28.

    I must admit that I got the first one for wrong reasons. I still think mine made sense though (highlight to read):

    <font size="1" color="#f7f7f7">2+2+5= 9 Likes it.

    2+2+4= 8 Doesn't like it.

    9+0+0= 9 Likes it.

    8+0+0= 8 Doesn't like it.

    1+4+4= 9 Likes it.

    1+4+5= 10 Doesn't like it. <FONT face="Verdana, Arial">



    Which one does she like? 1600 or 1700?</FONT></font></p>


    <font size="1" color="#f7f7f7"><FONT face="Verdana, Arial">Answer: 1600



    Reason given: She likes perfect squares.



    My reason: She doesn't like even numbers.



    As, 1+7+0+0= 8

    And 1+6+0+0= 7 </FONT></font></p>

    24. Skipped the anagrams. What is with those things anyway? I always skip the word jumble in the sunday paper.

    Oh well, I always have my SAT score to fall back on. [​IMG]

    Hydra, you're way to smart for your own good!

    Only 3: 15, 16, 19 (I missed 6, 22, and 30).

    I like your explanation for #1.

    The first one was one of the few that jumped out at me right away. I did very poorly, but I also was rushing to get through and didn't think about several of the questions. If it didn't come to me right away, I skipped it. (I ended up with a 19, by the way. In case anyone was wondering)

    Both work. I guess they didn't see the other possibility when creating the test.

    As far as anyone lying, I have to say that I believe what everyone has said so far. It would be pretty idiotic to lie about your score. I think the liar would probably not post at all, as an extremely high score from a bad poster will draw a lot of doubters.

    I guess you could say I got a 26, if you don't accept my reason for the first one.

    How long is a battleship? I've never heard of a ship by that name, so I can't say with absolute certainty, but seeing that it's trick question I'm going to say true.
