logic, captain?

I just took the “Logical Thinking” quiz on OkCupid, and scored 100%, which I confess pleases me, given how much I value the ability to think logically.

However, I am dogged by the knowledge that it could just have easily been 93%, as I was only able to calculate 14 of the 15 questions. I finally gave up and made a slightly-educated guess for the other, and apparently I was correct. But the test did not offer answers or explanations at the end, dammit! Which means my brain is still gnawing away at the problem. Arrrgh.

Here’s the question that vexed me. If you Get It, please explain.

Each number shown below follows a certain rule. Figure out the rule and fill in the missing number.

August: 9 June: 6 October: 12 September: ?

Possible answers: 3, 12, 16, 18

who would believe

... that any test would peg me as ‘normal’?

Your Social Dysfunction: Normal
Being average in terms of how social you are, as well as the amount of self-esteem you have, you're pretty much normal. Good on you.
