    25 😑 but mathematically, does nr6 have two answers? Since it's not stated which side is referred to, just that one side is xx that the other side? 🤓🤷‍♂️

    The other one offered an answer of "less than or equal" which was unequivocal. The "greater than" symbol very definitely means that one number is bigger and one number is smaller, so it was a choice of which answer was more correct.

    24/30. I had to guess a couple and guessed wrong. Missed a couple of the car one. And I overthought π, panicked, and picked the wrong answer. In my defense, it's been decades since I needed to know how to use it. Mostly I just say that my friend bought a house on a perfectly circular lot - because it's 3.14 acres.

    28. I prefer the layout where we can scroll and see all the answers - I can't recall which two I got wrong.
