Are you still scared of monsters?

No?

Oh, I see. You're all grown up now. A big teenager who isn't afraid of anything.

Except ... maybe ... A MATH QUIZ!?!?!?

Yeah, I figured that'd scare ya.

In the spirit of Halloween, here's a ghoulish little test that may just keep you up at night, crying for your mommy (or maybe for your junior high math teacher.) Wimps can use the hints provided but that lowers the score.

Oh, and if you want to get really scared, try taking the quiz with all of the lights off.

Question 1: DR. FRANKENSTEIN'S QUILT GROUP

Dr. Frankenstein stunned the medical community when he stitched together the body parts of dead people, juiced it with electricity, and brought the Frankenstein Monster to life. What is less known is that he also shocked the quilting community with his fine precision stitch-work on the horrible beast he created. Small stitching is considered high quality work by quilters around the world, and the good Doctor amazed everyone by routinely fitting three stitches to every inch. That's no small feat when you consider the Monster required a half-mile of thread. How many total stitches make up Dr. Frankenstein's creation? Hint: One mile equals 5,280 feet.
7,920
31,680
95,040
190,080

Question 2: DRACULA'S DAUGHTER IN THE BIG APPLE

Mistakenly thinking New York City was known as the 'Big Adam's Apple,' Dracula's Daughter headed east in search of a few necks to bite. She arrived in the city and began her feast. Unfortunately, vampires have a nasty habit of transforming their victims into vampires as well, meaning these new bloodsuckers are also looking for a meal soon after their transformation. Suppose Dracula's Daughter (and all subsequent victims) bite one neck a night, transforming the person bit into a vampire, which feeds the following evening. How long will it take the city of New York (population 8,000,000) to be wall-to-wall vampire? Hint: There'll be two vampires at the end of day one.
12 days
23 days
36 days
71 days

Question 3: GRAVEDIGGER'S DILEMMA

Like any normal teenager, you've gotten yourself a part-time job to help save money for college. Here's the creepy part: You went and got a gig as a gravedigger! (Heck, you thought you'd meet a lot of interesting people.) Everything seems to be going well until a rush of business puts you a little behind in your work. Fortunately, your boss at the mortuary just bought three super deluxe hearses, which each fit multiple caskets. Make no mistake -- These are BIG vehicles with room in the back that measures 9 feet tall, 16 feet across, and 18 feet deep. Each casket measures the same ­- 30 inches tall by 42 inches across by 90 inches deep. If you recruit two buddies to drive the other two hearses, what's the maximum number of caskets you can deliver to the graveyard in one trip? Hint: There's more than one way to skin a cat—or stack a corpse.

Question 4: DIAL 'M' FOR MATHEMATICS

Brenda Babysitter has put the kids to bed, and is now being terrorized by a creepy ghoul who keeps ringing her telephone. "Good thing the folks put in Caller ID," she thinks, after listening to the sinister chuckle on the other end of the line. Unfortunately, Brenda is in for a surprise. It seems the Caller ID system is a discount version that doesn't necessarily record the caller's phone number. Instead, it gives her the following puzzle: "The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits of this phone number are all the same. Together they form a 3-digit number that is 70 less than the square of the product of the first two digits. The 4th digit is the highest common factor of 56 and 64. The 5th digit is the third prime number. The 6th digit is the cube root of 216. Subtract -4 from -2 . The difference is the 7th digit." Oh, great. So what is this weirdo's phone number? Hint: Sometimes backwards is the way to go.
555-8362
555-4586
444-8562
444-8566

Question 5: VAMPIRE SHOPPING SPREE

Trying to lay off the red stuff for a while, Van the Vampire heads out to his local 24-hour supermarket in search of liquid refreshment. Floating through the aisles, he comes across a tomato juice display in the form of a square pyramid. Drooling with the anticipation of puncturing each can with his hungry fangs, he decides to buy the entire display of tomato juice! If the display has nine 1-gallon cans for each side of the pyramid's square base, how many gallons of juice did Van just buy? Hint: Each layer has one less can per side.
271.5 gallons
285 gallons
360 gallons
427.5 gallons

Question 6: WITCHES' BREW (HA-HA!)

Claire Witch is cooking for the big Coven Party this weekend, and plans on mixing up a large kettle of her infamous brew. As she unpacks her groceries, however, she notices that 25 bags of newt eyeballs have apparently broken open. Eye of newt is a very fragile ingredient, and should really remain sealed in it's natural juices until right before plopping it in the kettle. Sifting through the mess, Claire notes she had purchased 18 large bags and 7 small bags of newt eyeballs, and now counts 233 loose eyes at the bottom of her grocery bag. Large bags always have the same number of eyes, and small bags carry fewer, but are equally consistent. How many eyes go in each large bag? Hint: Remember, the leftover eyes that will go in the small bags must be divisible by seven.

Question 7: ZOMBIE WEDDING

If there's one thing that rings true about zombies, it's that they sure show up in large quantities. A recent zombie wedding dug up a guest list of 10,000 corpses. As you know, zombies tend to be slow and clumsy, so each attendee was given a full page of the guest book to sign. Ten guest books (1,000 pages each) were filled cover to cover. So as not to confuse the already slow-witted bride and groom, the living dead chose to sign in alphabetical order. Therefore, Abel Aaron signed page one of book one, and Zachary Zygote signed the last page of book ten. The books were then placed, in order, on the bookshelf of the newlyweds' crypt. As they sit, how many pages are there between the signatures of Abel and Zachary? (Ignore the book covers.) Hint: Think like a zombie on this one—slowly. How are books on a shelf arranged?
8,000
9,998
10,000
10,002

Question 8: MUMMY KNOWS BEST

A Mummy who is a Mommy and a Mummy who is a Daddy have two children, ages 677 and 643 (just toddlers!) One of their two Mummy children is a girl, and hopes to someday be a Mummy Mommy of her own. Assuming every Mummy pregnancy has a 50/50 chance of being a boy or a girl Mummy, what are the odds that their other child is also a girl and will someday be a Mummy Mommy of her own? Hint: How many possible mummy children combinations are there?
1 in 1
1 in 2
1 in 3
1 in 4

Question 9: BILLIARDS WITH THE BLOB

Remember the Blob? You know, that giant mass of goop from outer space that eats everything in its slimy path? On one of his many town-devouring rampages, the Blob starts to engulf a local pool hall where you happen to be in the middle of a game. You really like pool, so you scramble to grab as many of the game balls as you can. You end up with six of the balls and your life. The Blob gets all the rest. As you are running from the gelatin monster, you recall the following three facts:

1) The first ball swallowed by the Blob was the maroon striped '15' ball.

2) Your six ball total includes the cue ball, two striped balls, the solid red '3' ball, and none of the blue or purple balls.

3) The sum of the face value of the Blob's pool balls totaled 75.

Given this evidence, and by using the picture above, who got the stuck with the 8 ball? Hint: There may be multiple solutions, but the answer is always the same.
You
The Blob
Neither, it must've rolled under the table
Impossible to tell with the information given

Question 10: I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY SQUASHED THE WHOLE THING

On Monday, Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra, and Monster Zero are hanging out on Monster Island yukking it up. "Let's go trash downtown Tokyo!" Godzilla muses. The four excitedly agree to give their favorite city a good stomping on Friday. Unfortunately, you just can't trust oversized, radiation-soaked behemoths. On Tuesday, Rodan sneaks away from the island, arrives in Tokyo, and proceeds to annihilate 1/3 of the buildings in the downtown area. On Wednesday, Mothra slips away from the group and obliterates 1/3 of the remaining buildings in the downtown area. On Thursday, Monster Zero sneaks off and wipes out 1/3 of downtown Tokyo's remaining buildings. Friday arrives, and Godzilla is anxious to hit the big city, but the others have lost interest. Ever the honest lizard, Godzilla heads for Tokyo promising his chums he will only flatten his 'fair share' of the city's buildings. He does, and returns to Monster Island, depressed that he only got to squash two buildings. How many total buildings were standing in downtown Tokyo on Monday?
