Green is a secondary color, made by mixing the primary colors yellow and blue.

Are you green with envy?

Welcome to art class! Which of these is NOT a primary color?

If you follow a balanced diet, most of your carbs come from grains!

Don't be afraid to go against the grain!

Next class: health. Which of these food groups is your main source of carbohydrates?

If you follow PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction), you should arrive at the correct answer, which is 25.

Don't pretend you don't remember math!

Next stop: math. Can you solve (4 + 3 x 2 - 5)^2?

Momentum is mass times velocity. A bus driving at 36 km/hr has a velocity of 10 m/s, so with a mass of 110,000 kg, its momentum is 11,000 kgm/s.  
If your bus has a momentum of 396,000 kgm/s...GET OFF THAT BUS!

Don't lose your momentum!

Physics time! How much momentum does an 11,000-kg school bus driving at 36 km/hr have? (Pay attention to units!)

There are 1.6 kilometers in one mile. Five kilometers is about 3.1 miles.

Both Twinkies and Ding Dongs are made by Hostess. Nutty Bars, Swiss Rolls, and Cosmic Brownies are made by Little Debbie (although Hostess does make some similar products).

Time for a lunch break halfway through! Is that a Twinkie in your lunchbox? I'm having this dessert made by the same company...

The "60" in Cobalt-60 counts the number of nucleons in its nucleus. Since cobalt has the atomic number 27, it always has 27 protons. The other 33 nucleons are the neutrons.

Back to the grind with chemistry. How many neutrons would you find in one atom of Cobalt-60?

On a voyage to circumnavigate the globe, Magellan named the ocean for a word meaning "peaceful." He survived crossing the Pacific but didn't live to see the end of his expedition.

Thank Magellan for the Pacific!

Here's a history lesson! The Pacific Ocean was named by this European explorer.

Norway ends up being a big deal at the end of the play, but Hamlet and his family and friends live in Denmark. If you chose Italy, you might have confused _Hamlet_ with _Romeo and Juliet_.

"It is I, Hamlet the Dane!"

Welcome to English! Shakespeare's character Hamlet is a prince in what country?

You can win a Nobel Prize in the "dismal science," but none of the other three options.

Economics: the only class most people end up needing to understand in life...and the one they pay the least attention to!

The subject of the sentence is "Maya" because she performs the action, called the predicate ("kicked"). The object is the noun that receives the action of the predicate, so because the ball was kicked, it is the object.  
Time to catch the bus and head home...

The last option is also the object...but _not_ grammatically!

Last class of the day: Writing! Grammatically speaking, what is the object of this sentence?: "Maya happily kicked the ball."

"Jack of all trades, master of none." There's a saying that might describe you. The good news is you don't _have_ to be a master of every subject in life. You may have flunked this quiz, but once you find your calling, you're sure to become an expert in at least one thing!

Oops!

You're what they call a specialist: master of what you do, nothing more, nothing less. You probably nailed the subjects you find interesting or the ones you need for your life goal, but you don't have to waste your precious brain space on stuff you have no reason to care about.

James Corden looking at a laptop and raising his eyebrows as if to say, "Not bad"

So close!

You strive for excellence in everything you do! You may have gotten a few wrong, but that's okay. No one's perfect. One thing's for sure: you'll be remembered as the "smart friend" when it's all said and done!

Joey and Chandler from "Friends" clapping

You Passed!

A perfect score proves you take every subject seriously! Your mind is a sponge that soaks up any drop of information presented to it. You may not need all of it in life (aside from when you take a BuzzFeed quiz), but it's always good to know as much as possible just in case. Knowledge is power, and _you_ are a powerhouse!

You're Graduating With Honors!
