I can sort of see his point...

Sometimes these tests depend on how tricky you think the author is being. Of course, if we aren't talking integers, there's an infinite number of "7s" between 1 and 100, and I wouldn't put it past some wiseass to interpret it that way, but I read "count" as meaning "integers."

I got stuck on the "circle is one" question too, because I had all kinds of ideas about the set of Greek ideal shapes or Pythagorean solids I was trying to remember, and I couldn't use the internet to look it up.

"Pear is to apple as potato is to?" I sat trying to figure out if they were talking about the words and relationship of the letters, or the actual fruit? Pear had one syllable, apple had two, potato had three, but none of the answers had four...

Getting jammed on this kind of thing is one reason the time ran out before I could finish.

Of course, some of his objections were silly.
