Math Exam     . . .   Let's turn to basic arithmetic.   What is 4 + 3 ?   9    5 + 2 ?   6   18 - 3 ?   14   3 x 7 ?   29   10 + 5 ?   16   Again, please, 10 + 5 ?   15,7   Better. Once more, 10 + 5 ?   15,3   Much better ! 12 + 6 ? 19 When you add two even numbers, you get ... ?   An even number.   Yes, so 12 + 6 ?   20   A bit lower.   18   Correct. And once again 12 + 6 ?   18,5   Even number.   18,4   Better but the decimal place has to be more exact.    Geometry is next. How do you calculate the area of a circle ?   That is radius minus Pi divided by color.   Now a practical application. Please draw a circle.     Less corners.     The shape more compact.     This is better. Once again and a bit rounder.     Something is missing.     More at the outside.     Thanks.   Right, the test is completed. Now I will tell you the result: You passed the examination. Congratulations! Your arithmetic lacks a bit of precision, but on the other hand, the answers come quickly. You do have to refine geometry, though it is very important to be motivated and have fun. . . .      What did the colleague do before this job ?   He was belt examiner at the *** association.   © 2010 NED
