    #15 never said anything about needing to simplify it. Also, I think that the "12th grade" probability problem should be known in elementary or early middle school. I also think that if they need to specify that #28 is ±8, they should at least include all numbers that work in the problem, as 8i works if you do (8i)^2 and -64i works if you do -64i^2.

    Agree about #15 - I'm claiming a point back for that - 6/15 = 2/5. #28 has now been corrected. I really can't remember how to do limits after 35 years!

    Any of the equation questions could be answered by just plugging in the choices offered without knowing how to actually solve those equations. And finding the derivative of a function (#31) is not part of a standard eleventh grade math curriculum. It's from Calculus, which advanced students might take in twelfth grade

    Pretty certain #36 is wrong, should be 400s or 6m40s .... ....... Edit - the question can be interpreted in two ways, running towards each other or both in the same direction

    To correctly solve #36 we need the velocity vectors, not just the speeds. If they happen to be running away from each other, they need to go all the way around Earth :) Or they could be running along the sides of a triangle.
