Well haste means with great speed, and post-haste is just an extension of that. You could use it such like "I want you to complete this task post-haste"

I got 27/30

I couldn't even get the two word scrambling ones and I AM a native English speaker.

And the other one I got wrong was the month/number one which I just guessed - although after seeing the answer I feel stupid. LOL

****SOME SPOILERS MAY FOLLOW****

Spent ages trying to work out the month/number one using some complicated formula involving the number of letters in the month and which number month it was ... I sorta had the right idea with the fact that the longer named months had higher values

The two word scramble ones I just didn't bother because I'm terrible with them. Plus I'd run out of time

Also spent ages trying to remember the Pythagorean theorem, which I eventually did, but which slowed me down

Hey, waitasec ... the one where you add a word to the front of LIGHT, BREAK and TIME I got wrong .... I used the word Tea. Tea Light, Tea Break, Tea Time ... I call that they're all valid! OK, they may not be "words" per se, but they are phrases ....

Sorry, but I've never heard that as a word or a phrase.

You non-English speaking people blow me away. You score just as well if not better than native English speakers. If I took this test in any other language I would look like an idiot.

I have taken so many of these things and I always score extremely well. Which leads me to the question - if I'm so freakin smart how come I'm not richer?
