Steve Kemp, I agree but do not follow our logic. For me the difference between the people is 2 times the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle of 5ft and 12ft which equals the square root of 144 + 25 =169 =13.

13/15. Apparently I have a high IQ!

Question 11 is wrong, if they walk 5 feet, then the distance between then is 10 feet, they turn and walk 12 feet, so the sideways difference is 24 feet, the square root of 24squared plus 10 squared is 26. For the given (incorrect) answer, the distances between them would need to be 5ft and 12ft which is not what the question asks.

With the exception on question #11, the answers are all correct.
The answer for #11 is 26, which is offered, but scored incorrectly.

The answer IS 26.
The men each walk 5 feet in opposite directions, putting 10 feet between them.
If they each turn right and walk 12 feet, then they are walking in opposite directions again, meaning they put a distance of 24 feet between them.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we figure the two sides of the right triangle they form are 10 feet and 24 feet.
10² + 24² = 26²
100 + 576 = 676

Yes, the correct answer is given, but the results are wrong. The correct answer is 26 feet.
The men each walk 5 feet in opposite directions, putting 10 feet between them.
If they each turn right and walk 12 feet, then they are walking in opposite directions again, meaning they put a distance of 24 feet between them.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we figure the two sides of the right triangle they form are 10 feet and 24 feet.
10² + 24² = 26²
100 + 576 = 676

For question no 11, the correct answer is not given on the list of answers. Obviously, the correct answer is between 15 and 16, which is the square root of 244.

I thought I was going crazy with Q11 until I got to here. The rest were pretty easy for this type of quiz (as was Q11 except someone got the answer incorrect).

12 / 15. You have a high IQ! However, it seems that the answer to question 11 is 26. If so, my score is 13/15! same score as last time!

Agree 11 is wrong!! It will actually be more than 26

#11 is WRONG! It is obviously 26
