A MAN has left people scratching their heads after sharing eight GCSE level questions, as many admitted they can’t answer any of them.
“Can you pass a GCSE exam?” Mahan asked, before adding: “Let’s test your knowledge with eight quiz style questions on eight different topics at GCSE level.”
“How many did you get right?” he added in the caption for his TikTok video.
He kicked off the quiz by asking: “If you read a book from page 10 to page 50, how many pages have you read?”
The “common wrong answer” to the question is 40, but do you know what the correct one is?
“Who was the leader of the Soviet Union during World War Two?” Mahan asked next.
“In biology, what’s the process by which cells break down glucose to produce energy?” was the third question.
Before Mahan went on to ask: “What word describes a speech in a play where the actor speaks to him or herself out loud so the audience can better understand what’s going on with the character internally?”
He added that a “similar, but not quite correct answer is “monologue” – but do you know the right answer?
“In physics, what word describes the change in direction of waves that occurs when they travel from one medium to another?” Mahan asked next.
Before moving onto: “What is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea known for its cultural and historical significance?”
“In chemistry, what type of bond is formed when atoms join together but share electrons instead of transferring them?” he then queried.
Do you know “what political ideology advocates for a classless society where the means of production are owned collectively?” Mahan concluded.
And in the comments section, lots of people were quick to admit they had no idea of the answers to most of the questions.
“I got all of them wrong,” one person sighed.
“I did my GCSEs last year and got 3,” another admitted.
“Did my gcses earlier this year and just got 0,” a third laughed.
“Goes to show you don’t need GCSEs to get a good job because I didn’t get one right,” someone else wrote.
“I got 1,” another added.
Meanwhile, people had a lot to say about Mahan’s first question, with one insisting: “The answer is 40 because reading from page 10-50 doesn’t include page 50.
“The question would have to be 10-51.”
“It is 40, to 50, not reading 50 so 50 isn’t included,” another agreed.
“Wait but doesn’t ‘to page 50’ imply that you don’t read the 50th page?” a third asked.
With Mahan replying: “If you’re meant to read pages 10-50, why would you not read page 50?”
And another defended Mahan by writing: “‘To’ is inclusive.
“If someone’s said they are driving from New York ‘to’ LA they wouldn’t stop before LA, you melon.”
