9. too easy
has to be 5 cm. This is actually the only triangle dimensions I know off the top of my head. Otherwise I'd have to do the math (32 × 42 = x)

10. That reminds me of a test question from junior high history
The question was where did Indian Chief (I am sorry for forgetting who it was) give his speech about (I forget the subject). The teacher was looking for a specific town location. I and over 75% of the class answered "under a tree" which he did when he gave that speech (it said that in the book and the teacher mentioned that in the lecture). She ended up giving us credit even though that was not the answer she was looking for.

13. Wow! Do the americans actually use the real system of measurement?
I thought you measured things in archaic, outdated, feets and miles!

(Yes, yes, I know, I know, no need to do a flaming, but on a more serious note is cm common in maths there?)

25. We are able to convert to your primitive "metric" system...
...with its superstitious insistence on relating everything to consecutive powers of ten. We presume it's because you furriners still count on your fingers.

(but seriously, yes, I was teaching chemistry and physics in the metric system twenty years ago...this was a private college-preparatory school, so I can't say how common it really is)
