I believe that it should be: We have two times as many pears as you do.
This would make the sentence perfectly parallel so there's no mistaking what is compared.

I do not think this is an official question as I do not think the actual GMAT would write about Howard Stern. I also do not know whether C would really be totally wrong. I can see why A is right, but I do not think the past perfect tense is required in a situation like this. Maybe the experts can he...

For the first question, it's hard to explain without drawing but I drew lines to see if I could make the one with the higher y-intercept have a higher slope and I couldn't do it. Because they both end up in the upper right quadrant (is that #1? I should remember that) then they could either both be ...

I think it's hard to say based only on your correct % without knowing how long it takes or how hard the problems are. Have you taken one of the free practice tests from mba.com? Those at least gives you scores that are usually accurate to help you plan on what you need to do next.

I agree with E. B and D look like trap answers because they make it seem like the reviewer must have knowledge of the city to be able to prove that the author does, too (and therefore trust the author). But all we really know is that if the reviewer does know the city and feels that the author doesn...

Together you have that: x < 64/72 (multiply by 8/8 to get a common denominator) y < 9/72 (multiply by 9/9 to get a common denominator) x + y < 73/72 Could be either 72/72 (equal to 1, so NO, and you could still be smaller than 73/72 and be greater than 1 too like Laura says) or 71/72 (less than 1, s...

I like B. The "at least one" is a pretty easy-to-prove statement for an inference question, which helps, and everything else seems really tough to prove on the basis of what is given.
Thanks for sharing the question, David! Keep them coming!

I've read that the Manhattan tests are usually more difficult both in content and in scoring than the actual tests, so there's some reason to be optimistic. They're supposedly really good practice though so if you don't worry about your score and just learn from the test it should be helpful to lear...

I remember hearing someone say an easy way to remember this one - "another" is just a contraction of "any other" meaning that there are more than one possible "others". Just "each other" or "the other" means that there is only one specific "othe...

Because the underlined part is a modifier after a comma it really has to be that present tense verb "leading". For B to be right, then, you'd need to have "more delays" since "delay" itself is singular and we're adding to it so it has to be plural. So B is out and E is ...

gmatusa I was confused on that too and I see the same question. I know that 0! is actually 1 (something about a null set in stats), so I don't think you can have a factorial equal to zero. Given what Geva said I don't think that x! = 0 is part of the problem...maybe it's just supposed to say tthat x...

It shouldn't be wrong to use sine, cosine, tangent (yay, Socatoa!) because those are just math - they'll never be wrong. But I think it must be pretty hard to use those without a calculator so I don't know how helpful they will be. So I think most people will try to find ways to solve problems witho...
What is the source of this problem? It seems strange that the GMAT would focus on a vocabulary difference and not a true grammatical difference. Are we sure that this is a legitimate GMAT problem?
