You can put this solution on YOUR website!
on a 3 question, True or False test,
how many tests could you complete to be certain all possibilities are covered
Ans: 2^3 = 8 different possible answer patterns.
-----------------------------------------
and one test will be 100% perfect:: true
-----------------------------------------
.....and is there a mathematical equation to arrive at this answer so that you could solve for an 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 question test

Yes, if there are n tru-false questions, there are 2^n different possible
answer patterns.
