Mr. Math

We're not all idiots in the Office. ML was filling out a type of IQ test to see if she still remembered her schooling. CN got her hands on the test.

Apparently, one of our clients subjects job seekers through a rigorous written test involving math and english. It looks like the SATs.

After CN gave up on it, she asks me if I could figure it out. I glanced at the question. It's math.

60, 30, 20, 15, 12. What's the next number in the sequence?

Me: "So, they ask everyone to take this? Do they have to pass?"
ML: "No, no. They've hired people who've failed it. It's just a company process."
Me: "The answer's 10."
DJ: "Yeah, there's a pattern."
ML: "That's what Dr. Math says. I looked it up on his website."
