Are you smart?

[Araye]

I think most Americans would quit after a few minutes.  I think this test is more a determination test than a smarts test.

btw, 23 minutes.

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.

I never really linked the riddle with being smart.  I just said that 98% of people are not supposed to be able to do.

The actual topic was answered in the first line of my post

And a simple "I couldn't do it" would have sufficed, Raleigh.

I didn't even waste my time to try and suceed on it, where did you assume from that I clicked on that link to the test at all?

then don't bother posting in the thread about it if you aren't going to take it.

true...good point.

Oh also, as someone else said, if Einstein did say this, it was a long time ago.  Since then, basic education is more advanced than it was back then, and more people go through school than they did back then.

I just posted a simple opinion about the taking tests overall, and that is it, mind your own business please.

You manage to think too much and too little at the same time, it's really quite fascinating.

And that's very true, Shorty, I'd still say it's much more than 2%.

Nice Quiz, took me half an hour at least. In my opinion the reason why many people wouldn't finish the test at all is frustration...

*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.

Want me to send over the grid I set up while solving the riddle?

Raleigh for some reason seems to have deleted his account.

Again

And that's the only thing I can think of, Cyl.  Sure there were a couple parts that weren't all that easy but, in the end, I think anybody could do it with the time.

[zanzibar]

No, you aren't

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 doubt Einstein had anything to do with it.  It isn't even a real test, it's a standard form of question.  They all have the same answer, and that answer is a process using logic and grids.

And a simple "I couldn't do it" would have sufficed, Raleigh.

Ouch!  Except that he can do it, he just doesn't see the point.

His comment was on topic, neko.

Dude.  Touchy?

[John80sk]

I scrolled down a bit as the page loaded and Aerianna spoiled it for me

[miadon]

no she didn't as that's not the answer, the test doesn't even mention an American

[Marqsaynt]

Actually "The American" is the super secret, mega genius answer.

I am just wondering if I am still smart if I had the correct answer but I enteret it in wrong? I will use one that is not a choice..instead of saying Ameriacan I said America

"*Note: Do not use the word "The" in your answer..Simply enter the country."

But, when you enter the country it says it's wrong, only the nationality works so, i guess you were just too "smart" for your own good

P.S. I like the irony of someone creating a page with a "how smart are you quiz" and then mixing up country and nationality
