This is a version of our 4th grade class "final exam" on the times tables. The original whopper had 100 questions in 5 minutes, but since that requires redundant questions I reduced the number to 50.
I'm loathe to say this, but I think you have allotted too much time. I'm a slow typist, and usually hate the "beat the clock" type quizzes - but with this, I was able to take my time, make a few dumb mistakes, and still finish the quiz.
I wonder if all this people complaining about too much time are following the instructions and standing on their heads while they type. It's so much more challeging this way!
Challenge accepted though I know I will fail. I was just thinking the time was nice, had enough left but if I would have had less left, my brain would have stopped functioninig with timer stress. When that thing goes under a minute my brain panics haha ( full on cartoon style)
I was actually thinking how nicely balanced this quiz is. Due to major health issues not every thing works as it used to, memory doesnt work as it should calculation speed feels like snail pace, (though others dont notice it too much, unless in case of complete blackout, still near enough average speed, but I feel like it is tumbleweed in slowmotion... a sum taking 5+ seconds instead of 0.5 seconds feels like eons..)
Time was low enough to feel you needed to get a move on, but not so much that you get stressed and your heartrate goes up. It felt like a nice practice for me to get a bit faster at it again.
Considering that 82.6 % of quiz takers answer all the problems in the given time-frame and that you based it on 4th grade math, I would nominate this quiz for the Easy category.
your goldfish called you 4 times?? All during this quiz? Some trust issues, needing to check up on you?
"No really, I was just doing a quiz!" "Ow yea? then why is there a logo of a fish in your bookmarks?" "just admit it, you have been looking at other goldfishes! Or worse! EXOTIC fishes !!!"
it's more difficult to find the numbers on my keyboard than actually doing the math. Then again, i never learned how to type numbers without looking...
I never understood why people find a keypad faster. (In a case like this). All you need to type is numbers, so you can use both hands using th enumbers at the top. (at the right that would get kinda messy imo, you could... but well..)
I'm happy that i completed it a bunch of times
