stupac2, I agree with your answer for 8.  In my haste, I calculated the variable that 10 would be multiplied by to get the answer, and saw that WIM had multiplied 8, not 10, by the variable that should be assigned to 10.

Part of me is surprised that 99.9% have gotten this incorrect.  Then again, it depends who was surveyed.  You can never underestimate the average intelligence of the American public.  As an example, I have always made it a point to know the names of all nine members of the US Supreme Court.  Why?  I read this article, in the 80's, that when a random group of US citizens were asked to name the Chief Justice, the majority answer was, no lie, Joseph Wapner (of the People's Court at that time.)
