I got all of the questions posed correct, but went into it expecting to get tricked.
Had I not known they were going to be trick questions, I probably would have gotten the one about the lily pads covering the lake wrong.

Opposite for me. I would have gotten the ball and bat one wrong if I hadn't already known it was a tricksie question. Just one of those where the "first glance" answer looks right until you actually stop and do math. The lily pad one I got immediately and didn't even think of as a trick. But I suspect that years of dealing with binary progressions helps a lot with that.
Like somebody said earlier, when reading a word problem, I immediately picture an equation, so that one was easy. I haven't done a lot of work with half-lives, so the lily pad one would have been somewhat obscure for me.
