  4. Kids already have a hard time with analog clocks, even with just the numbers on them.

  7. I got a near perfect score on my Math SAT in '69 and the only one I can figure out is 8 o'clock (two times two squared). I must be a bit rusty.

    1. I know what you mean. I got 790/800 in 1979 and am also scratching my head on some of these. There’s no calculus on the math section of SAT, back then or now.

  8. Looks like calculus. That is a couple of equations above my head

    1. Are you suggesting that you get the other ten?

    2. Yes, those are pretty clear, but 7 - what is that, fraction multiplying an array? And 11 - is that a set intersection or what? I don't get it.

  11. Math major here and I don't know (remember??) what is going on in the 7 position. 3 is a determinant, but I'd have to look up how to work it out. 11 is set notation, and it is asking how many elements are in the set {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}. Took me a while to recognize what was happening in 11. But I am 72, so I can read that clock no matter what symbols or scribbles are on its face.
