The Elastic Aptitude Test (EAT) has been designed to measure the distance your imagination can stretch. Unlike traditional aptitude tests, which reward a humdrum command of facts, EAT rewards Flexible Agile Thinking (FAT). Now then, how flexible is your mind?

Good for math though how does that relate to elastic or eating?

Good, opus, but there's another couple of answers for #5. Remember, this is the ELASTIC aptitude test.
Jonathan - the "elastic" refers to the way of thinking required. |

Answers:
1) All the choices are correct 2) The probability is a certainty. Two objects of any kind form a pair. 3) EL 4) All of them are divisible of 3. 5) Half credit for saying 9, 11, 13 (odd numbers). Full credit for saying 8, 9, 10 to continue the series of positive integers whose names contain the letter E. |

Hey Opus, did you know it or get it? If you got it , you're a hero, nice work.
Scott, I think John may have been joking (unless he seriously thought it had to do with eating too). |
