Well, if you take infinity into consideration, you also have to take the infinity of how small the folds are, therefore it really isn't 150. You can't acknowledge some infinities but not others

Lets keep in mind that IQ tests are mainly used in the US only, and that according to many, there are multiple intelligences that a standard IQ test can't measure, such as-

musical intelligence
interpersonal intelligence
body-kinesthetic iintelligence
linguistic intelligence

etc etc etc.

so even though you scored 155 on an online IQ test, you could very well be an interpersonal moron.

This is a one possible solution that works - me and my best friend worked on it:

Each BIG ball is worth 10 points.
Each small ball is worth 4 points.
For every point of contact between any two balls, subtract 1 point.

Therefore,

A=13
B=24
C=17!

The answer is 150. The additional folds result in a triangle whose area equals to half of that of the square! Me and my best friend worked it out!

Originally posted by Laughingfennec There is a system for pricing items at the candy store. How much should the chocolate cost? someone understood that???

That was a tough one. We came up with this idea:

I used ice cream and gum to calculate this formula:
ICE CREAM = 4 vowels and 4 constants. Therefore, 4v + 4c = 32
GUM = 1 vowel and 2 constants. Therefore, v + 2c = 13.

First, I try to figure out the value of V.
v + 2c = 13.
v = 13 - 2c

Substitute v = 13 - 2c into 4v + 4c = 32.

4(13-2c) +4c = 32
52 - 8c +4c = 32
52 - 32 = 4c
4c = 20
c = 5.

Substitute c = 5 into v = 13 - 2c.

v = 13 - 2(5)
v = 13 - 10
v = 3


Therefore, CHOCOLATE is 5C + 4V
5(5)+4(4)
= 25 + 16 = 39

I did this test again with my friend, we spent 4 hours almost, and got IQ of 165! I guess each of us then has an IQ of 82.5!

Oh, by the way, if you get IQ over 126, then you are eligible to join their High IQ Society, which costs a fee to join. So if you're really smart, you wont join it!

you actually had to work it out
i felt it was rather obvious, but meh

Determine the next item in the series.



B, C, D, E, or F?

Each BIG ball is worth 7 points.
Each small ball is worth 2 points.

for the 'electron' one...its just two equations,
x + 3y = 13
2x + 5y = 24

so last one is 11
