  1. The Hardest problem on the test for me was the second one were you had to explain which one would need the least fencing materials that was the hardest one because I couldn't really find words which would describe the way i solved and new that but then when I read it aloud I realized that its extremely easy and all I had to do was read it aloud

  2. The hardest question on the test was number one because I thought it was the side bricks on the wall.

  3. The hardest question on the test was probably number one. This question was the hardest because I don't recall that we ever reviewed this problem and I had an idea on how to solve it but I wasn't sure if it was right (the way I solved it).
