Tiffany: “I wouldnâ€™t have remembered the Orkin logo without them.”

At least you have heard of them! Makes it rather difficult for us Brits when there are several companies that are not international enough to be known outside the US.

I’m so ashamed… 5/9. Looks like I need to go back to school and learn my shapes!

100%, but the shapes at the top certainly helped. I wouldn’t have remembered the Orkin logo without them.

Yikes, I’m almost embarrassed to say mine – 4/9.

I’m not surprised though – I failed geometry…twice.

9/9. But, as a Geometry teacher, I feel compelled to note that the Orkin logo looks the most like what we call a rhombus (an quadrilateral with four congruent sides). I’ve never heard the term “lozenge” used for this shape. Inneresting! And I love the latin name for the Venn diagram (the MasterCard logo). I may throw that out during class one day.

The shapes at the top definitely helped. I would have had no idea what the Orkin logo looked like. 9/9!

Trust me, Florida, that’s a good score. I just checked, and the quiz has an average score of 69 percent, with 1000 plays thus far.

People are just more apt to comment to a quiz that they just aced… like you!
