There is an article on MSNBC.com right now about how humans were "made" for geometry. A "test" accompanies the article and is available at this link...quite interesting. How did you do?

I got 100%! (That has to be a first; I don't remember getting any 100% scores on my geometry tests in High School....but come to think of it, since I went to school with Pythagoras; the book wasn't that thick.
100%, but it was touch and go for a while....
100% but I am weird or odd.

100%.
It is interesting that 80% of those who took the test got 100% result. I guess the test is easy?
I agree with Rob, and got 100%

100% here too.Originally Posted by Rob Glynn
Rob - I think that the point isn't so much that the test is easy - it is designed to show that pattern recognition and "geometry" is innate to the human mind. It's only geometry textbooks that set out to make it difficult.
