Recently, I was at a thrift store when an old math book from 1926 found me. Because I am always in a quiz state of mind, I picked it up and adapted it into a nice digital form to see if YOU could pass a 100-year-old math test. They had to know a lot back then! And there weren't even any colorful pictures. Ready to see if you'd be able to graduate a century ago?
