    You got one triangle twice James. Check your last row.

    Only got 86% on the mechanical aptitude test. Too many gear questions...

    Got 3 on the color test though. Using my trusty old Hyundai LCD.

    Thumbs up Right-O

    You actually have 2 dups in tha bottom row and a blank one. Subtracting those, your answer is 29 which is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!! (Insert balloons and whistles here) . Well done James!!

    The "official" answer pic is below:

    ps- I dont know what a "gooz" card is...

    You did get them all. You just duplicated 2. ( I'm sure you would have spotted that upon close re-examination.) Most of us could only see 10 or so..

    Well... I guess that's how I am. I think I'm pretty smart, but I'm not fast-smart. I need a lot of time to go over stuff and over stuff and over stuff. I like to see if I can find a proof within the solution. Hmmmmm.

    I really did solve Rubik's Cube with no instructions! It took me about 2.5 months, when I was like 16 yo.

    If you're the smartest person in the room, then you're in the wrong room.

    I got an 82%! Yuk. I thought I would do better than that. I know I missed a couple... right after I clicked "Next"!

    I'm pretty sure I missed the compound pulley that was all hanging on one hook with the 250G weight on it.

    I should try it again!

    There was no discernable way that I could make sense out of that one. None of my answers were justified. Maybe, 1/2 of 1/2 of 1/2, I never thought about it that way. I did what anyone would do... I GUESSED!!! So the pulleys, that was dumb luck.

    That's exactly what I thought! I was looking for powers of 2.
