Are you smart?
« on: July 24, 2007, 02:55:24 pm »
No, you aren't :P

Anyways.  This here logic problem http://www.amfrontier.net/~bree/Einstein.html thinks that most of you can't do it.

I've already done it and, though it isn't the easiest problem in the world.  I've got more faith in people than Einstein seems to have had.
So, let's see how many people can do this.  Try it out, if you get it, please post.

I know it. And I managed to do it with the help of paper, a pen and scissors. :sorcerer:
Actually it's not that difficult if you do it that way...but if you try it without writing things down...well, I guess then Einstein would be right :P

Nobody said the fifth pet was a fish, you may find the owner of the 'fifth pet' but you can't really be sure it's a fish :P  :lol: at least, that what we concluded after beer :P

yea you have to write american even though it says to input the country, not nationality.

I got this with pen and paper.

As for the 2% thing, it is probably wrong, but think...Most elderly I believe won't be able to do it because they are old.  I don't think any young kids could figure it out.  Anyone without a decent education I don't believe will have the brain power to do it [save a couple drop outs who should have stayed in school].  Those punk people who graduated high-school with a 70 [mostly minorities] , or are on the same track, will probably just wave the test by and not even look at it.  There are those busy people who are always too stressed to take it, or spend more than 1 minute thinking about it.  There are always exceptions.  I'm just pointing out that there are many more people than you think that wouldn't be able to complete this successfullly.
There are two types of people in this world: The Pinky and the Brain.
Which one are you?

quizes like that are fun... ;D Probably back in his day much harder to people
Now a days I think its easier so he'd have to switch up the numbers. 98% will get it and 2% won't. I doubt thats true though  :sweatdrop:

Oddly enough I just guessed the answer and I was right... Too bad that doesn't work on exams. :P

I looked at the nationalities, guessed and it was right. This is the 21st Century, we don't have time for thinking any more  X-/. I know I'm smart already because I knew what nationality Einstein originally was :P

A smart person doesn't need to take tests(only those who doubt they're smart take them), in fact a smart person will use intellectual capacity to achieve other more useful and productive goals on his/her everyday life instead of wasting time with tests.

A smart person is someone who is happy. If doing the test makes you happy then it is the smart thing to do ;)

*Frown* I need one of those grids for these. I can't get the order right on blank paper. Now I feel stupid XP I remember picking this one up before and giving up after half an hour that time too. Same reason I think.
