IQ Test

[beetlejuice]

Test your IQ with the question below:



There is a mute who wants to buy
a toothbrush. By imitating the action
of brushing one's teeth he successfully
expresses himself to the shopkeeper
and the purchase is done.



Now if there is a blind man who wishes
to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should
he express himself?



Think about it first before scrolling down
for the answer...













































He just has to open his mouth and ask,
so simple. If you got this wrong please -
do not pass go, just go dig
a hole and hide. ::)

I can sizzle like bacon, I am made with an egg, I have plenty of backbone, but lack a good leg, I peel layers like onions, but still remain whole, I can be long, like a flagpole, yet fit in a hole. What am I?

You enter a dark room. You have only one match. There is a candle, a furnace, and a stove in the room. Which would you light first?

[Uguel707]

The first one might be a snake....
The second one is obviously the match! :)

[Detox]

I so believe Uguel nailed 'em both right on the head ;D

so; what can go up a chimney down but can't go down a chimney up?

[Uguel707]

Mmm...that's a good one Detox! I give up! :-\

Okay, here's one I knew since I'm a kid.....

ok next ones ::) ::)

what would you call a boomerang that does not return back?

Golden treasures I contain, guarded by hundreds. Stored in a labyrinth where no man walks, yet men come often to seize my gold. By smoke I am overcome and robbed, then left to build my treasure anew. What am I?

[Uguel707]

Thanks Sub! That was very good! Most secrets are not kept too long, right? :)


Okay the answers I've got for your last ones...

The boomerang....A broken boomerang.

Golden treasure....A hive of Honey Bees.

Its a beehive but... naah its not a broken boomerang,, its simply a STICK loool ;D

ok some for all to try

I have two arms, but fingers none. I have two feet, but cannot run. I carry well, but I have found I carry best with my feet OFF the ground. What am I?

Walk on the living, they don't even mumble. Walk on the dead, they mutter and crumble. What are they?

Metal or bone I may be, many teeth I have and always bared, yet my bite harms no one and people delight in my touch. What am I?

[Uguel707]

About the first one...I thought of an airplane but it has 3 wheels...not two "feet"...and since there isn't any pterodactyl or rhamphorhynchus anymore, it cannot be a bird... :-\ How about a wheel barrow? :)

The second can be leaves but we don't "walk" on them when they are alive...So I'm not too sure. Ok, a very easy one:

Your parents have a child. That child isn't your brother or sister...
Who is he/or/she?

:)

[pfofit]

Your parents have a child. That child isn't your brother or sister...
Who is he/or/she?

Yourself??

Metal or bone I may be, many teeth I have and always bared, yet my bite harms no one and people delight in my touch. What am I? BACK SCRATCHER???
-------------------------------------------------------
how about some math ... or not

1./ What is the next number in the following sequence

3, 6, 9, 12, __ . Oh yeh, and its not "15"


2./ This equation is just fine. How come?
3 + 5 = 1

3./ What is the fewest number of lines that need to be moved to make the following roman numeral equation to be correct?

X I + I = X

4./ Can you move just one line in the equation below, to make it correct. No fiddling with the equal sign.

V I = I I

5./ Which is worth more... A pound of $10 gold pieces or a half-pound of $20 gold pieces?

" }-

Right the answer is "yourself" :)

And the third one made by subratam might be what you said or a comb...
Okay, see what I have so far....in the "math one" *puppy*

1. The sequence with 3, 6, 9, 12, __ . I didn't find it. :-[
2. The second, the equation, is correct because it's an octal, right?
3. For the third, only one line needs to be moved (the vertical line to the right of the first X needs to be moved to the left side of that X). :)

for instance:X I + I = X
can be made correct by making it
I X + I = X

4.The fourth one....I don't know. :-\
5.The fith one....if you are speaking of pieces of gold than the pound of $10 pieces is worth more. If you are speaking of gold-based currency than they are equal. If it's gold-based currency yes they are the same, but ifyou are speaking of nuggets of gold the one pound collection is worth more.

They were good! :)

[pfofit]

uguel 707

Very neat answers.

1./ What is the next number in the following sequence

3, 6, 9, 12, __ . Oh yeh, and its not "15"

Looking at an "old time clock" 3 ::)

2./ This equation is just fine. How come?
3 + 5 = 1
I used to be able to think in octal and hexadecimal, but i never thought of your ingenious answer.

3 quarters +5 nickels = 1 dollar


3./ What is the fewest number of lines that need to be moved to make the following roman numeral equation to be correct?

X I + I = X
It can be done with zero moves either by turning your monitor upside down or rotating your head 180 degrees ;D

4./ Can you move just one line in the equation below, to make it correct. No fiddling with the equal sign.

V I = I I
Your gonna bite your lip and shake your head but..
Its hard on a monitor
__
V I = I Square root of 1 =1 Dirty Eh!

5./ Which is worth more... A pound of $10 gold pieces or a half-pound of $20 gold pieces?

A pound of gold is always worth more than a half pound of gold... n'est pas ;)

[pfofit]

A couple of wordies to get the neourons firing.

1. What relation is the child to its father who is not its father's son?

2. If it takes three men three days to dig three holes, how long would it take one man to dig half a hole?

3. Two coins equal 35 cents. One is not a quarter. What are the two coins?

4. NEW
DOOR
Can you rearrange the letters in the two words above to spell one word?

5. Only one word in the english language is almost always pronounced wrong. What is the word?

[Detox]

1- daughter

2- cant dig half a hole, right its always a hole?

3- a quarter and a dime - the dime is the coin that's not a quarter ;-)

4- NEW DOOR rearranged spells "one word" ;D

5- I think the word is... wrong!

hehe good ones

Detox appears to have one of those minds that....

What letter comes next in the above sequence?

Too easy, even for me. ;D ;D S. Would have been more of a challenge if you'd left out the quesion -- but I pretty well had it anyway without looking at the question.

And I'll pass on #2 - but sub might be on the right track with his guess.

[pfofit]

Mike . you'd be surprised the people that don't get it with the question.

#2 and this 3, 3, 5, 4, 4, 3, 5, 5, __
is a variation of the other one you got.

Numbers is sequence by the number of letters in the word one =3 letters etc.

9 =4 my broter in law came up with the eleven thing as well.


1./ A carrot, a pile of pebbles, and a pipe are lying together in a field. Why? ???

2./ As a entrance test for a university, you are given a corked bottle with a coin in it. Your task is to remove the coin without taking the cork out of the bottle or breaking the glass, or boring a hole in the cork or glass.

How do you pass the test and get the coin out?

3./ What question can you never answer "yes" to?

4./ What do you throw out when you want to use it, but take in when you don't want to use it?

5./ What can go up a chimney down, but never go down a chimney up?

[MikeBCda]

Getting too late at night to think even halfway straight about those, so I'll pass.

That O,T,T,F etc. one gave me an interesting idea for a related one. We won't pose the question here, since we've already pretty well given it away, but it's a suggestion if you've got other groups where it would be new and fresh.

O,T,T,F,....
U,D,T,Q,....
U,D,T,C,....
E,Z,D,V,....
(and you can add others you might know that I don't)

What do these sequences have in common -- and why the differences?

(Edit) Whoops, skipped too fast past your #3 and #5. One's old as the hills, and the other's worth a semi-intelligent guess. The one about the chimney's an umbrella, of course. And as for the question, "Are you sleeping?" or even "Are you dead?" are the two obvious first guesses.

[Detox]

#4 - an anchor


For the bottle, I suppose I would push the cork all the way into the bottle then get the coin out.

The carrot, pebbles and pipe.. I dunno hehe

1. A woman has 5 children and half of them are male. How can this be?

2. It happens once in a minute, twice in a week, and once in a year? What is it?

3. What coin doubles in value when half is deducted?

(pfofit your ones were cool :) )

[pfofit]

#2 right off the get go i would say the letter "e"

# 1. are they all still alive????

the others, i need a faster squirrell cage.

Just popped a neuron.

# 3 A half dollar? :-X

#1 they are all still alive

#2 correct

#3 correct (edit ;D )

I actually knew these two girls back in my college days (I think that was before Moses, or maybe even the Creation. ;D )

They were born the same day in the same hospital, had the same mother and father ("real", i.e. genetic, parents that is, and looked quite similar. Oh, and same day of the same year, in case you think I'm pulling a sneaky one about birthdays.

Yet they weren't twins.

Any takers? ;)
