	wait...i did most of them in decimal and they all worked, but then 1/16 and 1/20 i couldn't write in decimal form, it had to be in percent form. that should be remedied.

	Also, I liked the length of time because for some of them I needed to do math. Just because someone doesn't have it memorized doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to do the quiz. There is a LOT of elitism on this site and I don't like it. What does it hurt you if there's more time than you, personally, need? Ok, then you finish early and be on your way. Let other people have a chance to do the quiz!

	pretty easy, especially since it repeats denominators so many times. if you can get 2/5, why even bother asking for 4/5?

	It's 06:16 local time, the first coffee of the day has barely hit bottom - and I finished with 7 seconds to spare. Time for another coffee - or maybe a lie down....

	5/6 is going to pay

	ANNA1981:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 10:24 GMT	3 points
	Usually I hate math, but that was quite fun! I had to think a little. Got 9 of 16. Then I gave up. But I'll definitely try and learn them all one day.

	I'm confused: what was GeoExpert's comment?

	i noticed on some the quiz was taking the decimal answers and on other ones it was only taking the percent answers.

	Phil_Rose:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 11:09 GMT	4 points
	On the quiz results page, Sporcle always has the answers hyperlinked to Wikipedia. On this quiz though, none of the links work, since the percentage symbol is represented as "%25" in HTTP encoding. Also, I don't think Wikipedia actually has entries for most of these fractions.

	zifyoip:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 11:42 GMT	16 points
	An unfortunate side effect of the fact that Sporcle ignores punctuation is that, for example, typing "625" works for both 1/16 (6.25%) and 5/8 (62.5%). In a quiz like this the placement of the decimal point is significant, so it shouldn't be ignored.

	oh dear, spent so much time on the "harder ones" i completly overlooked 1/2.

	Why is the time length such a problem for people. It took me about 1:30 or so, but if you can do it quicker, then hooray for you. If people use calculators, how is that a problem. This isn't a test for school, its just an online game. I'll never uderstand why people want the time limit as short as humanly possible.

	Gragh, stumped by 5/6. I was carrying digits to the wrong place when I halfed the 33.333 annoyingly. >_

	ArtVandaley:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 15:22 GMT	4 points
	@King Slazo, why would you half the 33.3333? It is 1/2 + 1/3 or .5+.333333 :)

	White:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 15:28 GMT	3 points
	Oh and if you want the decimal point/punctuation thing fixed, replace the "." with the word "point".

	JoeGrzzly:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 15:50 GMT	7 points
	I got 15/16 or 93.75%

	shel99:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 16:40 GMT	2 points
	The percentage of people who get them all right should be given as a fraction... ;)

	zalagreensbury:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 17:15 GMT	4 points
	I'm afraid to write my percentage cause everyone will make fun of me...cries

	Craig R:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 17:30 GMT	5 points
	5/6 took me forever but i finally got it!

	R1ncew1nd16:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 17:38 GMT	-1 points
	Wow, finished with just one second left! For some reason it took me ages to figure out 1/16. I kinda know the others but I kept mistyping. Embarrassing for me since I'm (hopefully) starting a maths degree in September/October!
