That proves it, Singaporeans are smarter than Americans, in Math at least.

I was bored last night, so I went to Google questions Grade 7 do, 12 years old.
Here are some examples .
Grade 7 Maths Questions.
1) Three ducks and two ducklings weigh 32 kg. Four ducks and three ducklings weigh 44kg. All ducks weigh the same and all ducklings weigh the same. What is the weight of two ducks and one duckling?

2) Mary has $50.00. She goes to the mall and buys lipstick and then she buys shampoo, which is half the price of the lipstick. She then spends half of what she has left on a purse, leaving her with $15.00.
How much did the shampoo cost?
How much did the lipstick cost?

3) Marvin's Taxi Service charges $0.30 for the first kilometre and $0.05 for each additional km. If the cab fare was $3.20, how far did the Taxi go?

This is by far, the most hilarious.
Joan and her friends are having a party. She has 9 friends, and they are planning to get a pizza pie. A pizza pie contains 16 slices. 4 of Joan's friends would like to eat 2 slices, and the rest will eat one. How many pizza slizes are left over? Also, how many inches of pizza would they each get from the left over pizza if each slice is 8 inches. Joan doesn't eat her her slice.
This is Grade 6 standard(P5). Can you believe it? I did this in what, P3 or P4.


Let's see what 16-17 year olds do.
Grade 11 maths.
Allie has an income which is five eighths that of Basil. Allie's expenses are one-half those of Basil and Allie saved 40% of his income. What is the percentage of his income that Basil saves?

Serious? This is what 16 year olds do, Wow. I'm truly and amazingly surprised. I did this in what, P4-P5.

Let's see what Grade 5 do, Primary 4.

What is 17 rounded to the nearest ten?

2) Mr. Lang planted 35 rows of corn. There are 15 corn plants in each row. How many corn plants is that in all?

4) When Mr. Murphy pulled into the parking garage to park his car, the time stamped on his ticket was 10:12 a.m. The time when he left the garage that afternoon was 5:43 p.m. What length of time was Mr. Murphy’s car in the parking garage?

Isn't this humorous? Seriously so easy? Better still, it's from some Virginia state assessment thingy. This is the standard used to assess their students, amazing.

Now let's see what do 8th Graders do, 13, I believe.
1) The school auditorium was 78
full. What percent of the auditorium was full?

2) Travis is three times as old as Anne. Mary is three years older than Travis. If Mary is 39 years old, how old is Anne?
See?

The Warlords is a very gory and violent movie. It is creeping me out, cringing as I type. My parents are watching it. Red Cliff is nicer and not as violent.
*shudders* People killing each other, I don't even want to type it out.
