I don't want to face the humiliation of scoring the lowest, so I am not even going to take this math quiz. ;)

Doh! 13/16. But... One, my hand went down one too far when I was telling myself B, my hand hit C without realizing.

13, I was clueless on.
9, I went the wrong way. lol

When I first glanced at it, I thought to myself, "I don't remember learning Hamiltonian paths in 8th grade." then i was disapointed when I read the problem. :bawl:

16/16 . . . funny thing is, those problems aren't too far off what I see while studying for the GMAT . . .

15/16, but I was handicapped by a picture graphic that didn't completely load. x-5 degrees looked like x degrees.

You are correct. Summa cum laude is the highest level - "with greatest honor"

Maybe I can present these results to my Signals and Systems teacher and replace my test grade with this... clearly I have an understanding of these concepts :heh:

It took me like 2 hours. after the 3rd problem, i got up and made me some food. then i watched a movie. after that, i finished the rest. I'd say less than 30 seconds a problem.

15/16... darn x/y axis.
