I don't see how could anyone possibly care about this.

"High-school level math" at my high school ranged from "Consumer Math"... "If eggs are 98 cents a dozen, and you want 30 eggs, how much will you pay?" up to "Senior Math" (largely the underpinnings of calculus). Which end of that spectrum is this hypothetical "high-school level math quiz" at?

Also, just because problems are trivial doesn't mean they don't take some time to do. Multiplying 28323 by 378638 is "easy", but it would take me a while to do by hand. Finding the integral of dx/x from 1 to y is "hard", but any calculus student could tell you the answer is ln y about as quickly as they can say it.

Finally, being good at math doesn't necessarily mean you're fast at math. Sometimes the two go together, sometimes they don't, sometimes people are great at advanced abstract math but have trouble remembering what 7 x 6 is.

All of this combines to say: the question is both unanswerable and pointless.
