Would we have graduated high school 100 years ago?

Wykop.pl has published a matriculation exam sheet from 1920.

It shows what tasks the high school graduates had to face at that time. Many users of the portal claimed that the tasks are so simple that the calculations can be done in memory.

"These are not difficult tasks. Ba, they do not even approach the level of the current extended matura exam. The first three can be done in memory or on a scrap of paper, and for the third one a ruler would be useful to make a drawing in the coordinate system.

Are they really simple? For mathematicians for sure :)
