Are you as smart as a 6th grader?

This post may seem a little bizarre, but here's the back-story.

My dad teaches sixth grade in Holland, MI. Obsessed Grandpa that he is, Jude is always making it onto the online quizzes his students take in the form of a math question. (He proudly shows them to me beforehand.) The kids will answer 24 "normal" math questions, and then suddenly in the middle of everything they are required to answer a question about this baby named Jude, who is doing something ridiculous that a baby would never do. Anyway, I think it's funny.

Here they are, starting with the one above. I typed the questions out because they're small and hard to read.

Q: Jude bought this chair for $300. How much did he pay in sales tax if the tax rate was 6%?

(answer a: none. babies are exempt from paying sales tax.)

Q: Jude is a chair salesman (or salesbaby) and is delivering this chair after selling it for $200. He makes a 5% commission on every sale. How much will he make on the sale of the chair in commission?

(answer b: nothing, because he will not be able to physically deliver the chair.)

Q: Jude purchased this flannel shirt at a 25% discount. The original price was $30. What did he pay for this shirt after the discount? (do not worry about taxes on this one)

Q: If Jude eats five raisins every two minutes, how many minutes would it take him to eat 40 raisins?

Q: How many cookies would Jude get if he ordered five dozen?

Q: What are three correct ways that Jude could rename the number 4? He really wants to know.

I like how he tries to pawn these off as normal quiz questions. I don't think the kids bat an eye at this sort of thing any more. It is kind of weird that 28 sixth graders (give or take a few) answer quiz questions about my son, but if this is his 15 minutes of fame, we'll take it.
