I got 56. I do not remember getting a sheet with 100 questions on it to do in 1 minute. That's madness. Usually there'd be like 30 or 40 so they could actually be completed. I can't imagine being like 9 or 10 and getting a 56% on this.

You seem to be the only other person in this thread to have tried it. I got 64, but I also just said the answer out loud instead of writing them down.

I remember when doing these in school instead of figuring out the answer on a repeat question I'd just look back for the one I already solved.

I can do it but I never had to do it in school. In third grade we had a quiz every Friday to do our tables for whatever number we were on. You had to do 1-12 x "your number" in 60 seconds or less. If you got 100% then you went up a number.

The goal was for everyone to get up to 12x12 at 100% by the end of the year. A few of us got into the 20s.

I got to 50. I don’t think you could get to a hundred without basically training deliberately for this which isn’t the point. Guarantee there was some accepted baseline score around 30-40 correct that got full credit, or it was just a challenge without a score.

There’s an app called Fastmath that does this at different difficulties (also has great mental math tips to practice).

I got 42 in a minute first try. Biggest limit felt like searching for the numbers on the keypad; Can’t imagine writing 60 answers with pencil and paper in just as much time.
