I was forced to work with a math tutor three nights a week for my entire high school career. My parents would scream, cajole, try to bribe me, ground me for weeks on end, I got sent to 'guidance counselors' to try to correct my 'lazy ways.' I was labeled "Classic Underachiever" because my IQ scores were so high that there was no reason I should not pass a math test. Except for Geometry (which was simply memorizing statements) I never passed a single math test once I got beyond basic arithmetic.
And as for the present quiz question... Gosh... these sure look like numbers to me....
