Wcv63 | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 01:31 pm  I strained my brain coming up with 3 ways. I'll leave this one to those more devoted to the game! |
Sbw | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 01:32 pm  I just know I need to go back to the 8th grade. |
Nancy | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 01:33 pm  lol wcv the 6 others ways are: Batter hit by a pitch; passed ball; catcher interference; catcher drops third strike; fielder's choice; and being designated as a pinch runner |
Nancy | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 01:34 pm  me too sbw..i could never ever answer the geography and u.s. history let alone get all the answers to the math and english stuff ;) |
Wcv63 | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 01:35 pm  I have no idea what fielder's choice and a passed ball are so I never would have gotten this one! |

Wcv63 | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 01:36 pm  If a load of wheat weighs 3942 lbs., what is it worth at 50 cts./ bushel, deducting 1050 lbs. for tare? I don't even think this is written in English. |
Labmouse | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 01:37 pm  Nancy, beat me to the punch...oops |
Nancy | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 01:42 pm  FIELDER'S CHOICE is the act of a fielder who handles a fair grounder and, instead of throwing to first base to put out the batter runner, throws to another base in an attempt to put out a preceding runner. ... |
Labmouse | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 01:50 pm  Nancy, that 1895 8th grade test is supposedly an Urban Legend. Click below and check what they have written about the validity of the 1895 test document. http://www.snopes2.com/language/document/1895exam.htm |
Nancy | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 01:52 pm  phew now i don't feel so dumb LOL ;) |
Wcv63 | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 01:58 pm  Okay...that makes much more sense. I knew if I couldn't pass it that it had to be a hoax! (Said with a straight face no less!) |
Nancy | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 03:32 pm  umm especially since you did so well on the second test i posted ;) |
Wcv63 | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 03:41 pm  Natch! (I agree that knowing 6 things that you wear on your feet that starts with an "s" is much more relevant than being able to figure the cost per ton of coal!) |
