    Are you smarter than an NFL QB?

    Are you smarter than an NFL quarterback? Take the quiz
    http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Sports/2011/0104/Are-you-smarter-than-an-NFL-quarterback-Take-the-quiz/Train-travel
    Can you do better than NFL quarterbacks Tim Tebow (22), Aaron Rodgers (35), Tom Brady (33) or Peyton Manning (28)?


    You take the number you got right, and multiply it by 3.85. I ended up with 42.x because I was not thinking about all the possibilities of one of the questions. They apparently use a longer version of this test for NFL players. I think Tom Brady scored 33, and of the QB's mentioned, Peyton scored the lowest.

    I am pretty sure almost all of us here are smarter than most NFL QB's.

    I got a 50.05, but I guessed on one of them and got it right.

        I don't need to take any test to know I'm smarter than 99% of NFL quarterbacks

          The problem with the quiz is we can take as long as we want to take the test, NFL players have only so long to take a test that is much longer...so a time crunch is involved for them. I guess it's just a way to make you feel good about yourself.

          Basic math problems like that are ridiculously easy for me, but I did hold my breath both times I clicked on my answer for the two word comparison questions.
          Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

            I zoomed through the math, except the one about proportions..... and the credit - creedence one, well, I think that one was a bit "vague"? I guess.

              that was the only one i missed. personally i think it's a bad question - i wouldn't consider them similar. i did think about that one the most, as it struck me as a bit of a trick question. oh well...

                Aced it though I struggle with the math. I can do it but me ADHD kicks in and my brain looks for anything else to do but calculate. Give credit Lend credence...similar if not exactly the same. Words be my thing, especially snarky ones,
