What kind of a moron could you possibly be to presume that the person who
supplied the test scores and the original problems and the test answers in
the first place "can't answer any of the questions"?

This is called "negative knowledge".  You have all the data and evidence you
need to answer the question correctly, but you instead get the *wrong*
answer, even when you've quoted some of the data and evidence yourself.

For example, you also presumed that .25x = .30, you acknowledged that this
would make x = 1.2, you admitted that you knew that x = .92 and not 1.2, and
you STILL couldn't get the correct answer, and instead wrote:  "Sorry, dumb
ass, I scored in the top 2% on the GRE math test. And I can answer H04".

Please tell us how this statement is going to help you solve this simple
problem, which STILL isn't even as complicated as an algebra, addition or
subtraction, or multiplication or division problem?  You haven't even
advanced to that stage yet, and here you are LYING about your test scores,
as if though you "think" this has something to do with solving the problem!
It has utterly nothing to do with it.

Is it your debate tactic to LIE about your test scores so that your flock of
feminazis will just take your word for it, hope that they'll just go along
with your program--and keep them ignorant for the rest of their lives?

The CORRECT answer is that x = 93 1/3%.  Why couldn't you even figure this
out?  Why do you keep insisting that .25x = .30, when you were handed the
answer on a silver platter?

What is it about your arrogance that, after a week of being unable to solve
the problem, you were GIVEN all the proper details on a silver platter, yet
you STILL can't solve for "x"?

People need to know.  They need to understand what it is about feminazis
that they never seem to comprehend some of  the simplest points.  This
emotional grab bag of false feminazi claims has just got to come to an end.
