Any comments about this [mathmo test] here:

Oh dear.  Where did they get those last three questions?  Just when I was expecting a funny 'if you scored n... blah' bit, they go and insert an even funnier (and spookily accurate) set of questions.  What is 'rather too high' then?  The test seems a bit overly general to me, I got only twelve 'no', and I'm not even a MathMo.  --Vitenka
For the reference of the non-mathematical, I, ChrisHowlett, an avowed MathMo, scored 33.
There are 64 questions.  That means... RunAndHide.  --Vitenka  (Who thinks additional points should be scored for wondering whether certain questions automatically infer the answers to others and thus shouldn't count double)
Not that it makes much difference, but that's 33 Yes's.
(PeterTaylor) I scored 40, provided I didn't miscount. It may have been 35 (counting with one hand while eating), but I think it was 40. And I like the question about plagiarism.
StuartFraser, often accused of being a MathMo (by subject, a NatSci), scored only 28. Admittedly almost half of these came under "mannerisms" which may explain something.
Noone will be surprised to discover that I scored 50... -- Senji
Well, I'm surprised.  Come on, I don't wanna be in the lead.  I'm out MathMo-ing someone who laughs at lecturer jokes, for crying out loud.  This just aint natural.  --Vitenka
MoonShadow scores 41. MoonShadow is definitely not a MathMo.
43 - TheInquisitor. Worried? Me? Never.
Garbled's mathmo status is in serious doubt (28). He is half glad, half mad and half unsurprised.

Okay, okay, so I'm not that bad. Only about 15, although I could easily improve on that (and if I did try and improve, that automatically gets me more points!)
Still, perhaps 15 is rather too high...
Actually thinking about it, it wasn't the number of questions, just that I have read GEB and I can solve a Rubik's cube unaided (some of the time). I could always work on the mannerisms...

Heh - those are two of the ones I failed on.  That makes you an AntiMathMo ;)  --Vitenka

Wow! One of a kind... I'm an AntiMathMo and proud of it! - Tim
