Let's See How Smart You Are. Figure Out The Right Answer







Modified: Just give the Right figure without detailed explanation. I'll later quote those who either gave the correct figure, or nearest to, to give detailed explanation on how they arrived at the figure. I'd acknowledge those who gave the correct answer with a token.


And please, it's a trivia puzzle, not a GRE nor GMAT exam. Let's not be rude nor disrespectful. Let's just have fun, okay?

I hope they've not finished buying all the chloroquin on the shelves, because you seriously need five packs of chloroquin to treat malaria fever.

When is he going for a power bike racing with his friends?





We await the outcome though

And he finally leaves the tithes and offerings behind.

Let's try another one

Taymi:
Answer is 36

Correct!


The product of the sum of the right digits and the sum of the left digits.


(3 + 3) x (3 +3)
6 x 6 = 36!

Let's Try another I.Q test

I appreciate everyone who was part of the trivia. For those who were a bit disrespectful, I understand you've not come of age. So I'll overlook the disrespect.




Happy Easter all.

Like I said earlier, it won't cost me anything to admit I was wrong.



Controversy one....... the implication of the helmet in the car. I overlooked the mathematical operation ought to be involved(supposedly addition) because I presumed it was a decoy




Controversy two........ the implication of the two ring rigs. I overlooked the mathematical operation ought to be involved as well(supposedly addition) because I presumed it was also a decoy.



So, let's give it another shot, but this time, taking the helmeted car and the two ring rigs into account.


Puzzle 1.........
Let x represent the helmet.

x + x + x = 30

3x = 30
x = 30/3 = 10
so x(helmet) = 10

Let y represent the car

y + y + x = 20

2y + 10 = 20
2y = 20 - 10 = 10
y = 10/2 = 5
so y(car) = 5

Let z represent the trophy(1 trophy)

2z + 2z + y = 13
4z + 5 = 13
4z = 13 - 5 = 8
z = 8/4 = 2
so z(1 trophy) = 2

Therefore.
helmet(x) + a car and/with a helmet inside(x+y) x trophy(z)
x + (y+x) x z = ?
10 + (5+10) x 2
10 + [15 x 2]
10 + 30 = 40.



Puzzle 2......

Take a good look at each quantitative picture.

The 1st picture clearly shows 7 petals in each flower pot(7 + 7 + 7 = 21), discreetly indicating that each petal is 1.


The 2nd picture also shows 4 roses in each flower pot. It implies that ( 4x2) + (4x2) + (4x2) =8 + 8 + 8= 24 or 12x2 = 24). It implies that 1 rose is 2 in value.


The 3rd picture indicates each empty pot is 4, that is ( 4 + 4 + 4 = 12).

Now, the 4th picture shows a flower pot of 6 petals( each petal is 1, totalling 6 in combined value) + (a doubled empty flower pot having a value of 4+4= 8 ) x (a flower pot of 5 roses having a combined value of 10(since each rose is 2 in value))

That is, 6 + 8 x 10

6 + (8x10)
6 + 80 = 86.


Puzzle 1 is 40
Puzzle 2 is 86

@ Spechialone



I called you out here because I already bid goodnight in the other thread.



You don't have to be rude to me all because of a trivia you and others strongly feel you're right




Would it interest you to know who I am?

I've passed my bedtime. Let's constructively debate this tomorrow or some other time.




You're all acknowledged. Thank you for your time. At least I, we survived another day of stay at home.




Bon nuit!

Epositive:
And the pot of petals too. You ignored the pot and calculated only the petals. We wouldn't have possibly ignored the pot when there are values for the empty pot and petals in picture 1 and 3 respectively. Any explanation for that?

Jesus is in for it when he returns. These ones here are going to question him to death when he returns.

Mechatronika:
Don't gimme this shit!

Men In Black 1, Who would have thought that a little girl would be used as a test. But only one who reasoned outside the box figured out the unusual presence of a child in an unusual place.




That's the essence of such test. Why was this car helmetted? Why was this pot double ring rigged? To make that split seconds choice if it's Significant or insignificant

Epositive:
In regards to the second puzzle. How about the empty flower pot, I thought it's doubled?

I think you should mention the owner of this puzzle.

We will not take this

It's a play of trick. That the pot has two ring rigs doesn't allude it's doubled. The point is about the value of its emptiness. The alteration in the 4th picture of the empty pot was to create skepticism

veave:
This is incorrect.

Check picture 1. What can you see?



Check picture 3. What can you see?

Mechatronika:
Op, your Puzzle 2 Analysis and answer is wrong, do it again the answer is 75!

Can I lead you through it, or would you lead?

It doesn't cost me anything to admit I'm wrong, if I was wrong. But you have to prove me wrong, to get me to admit I was wrong .




It is called a puzzle, not an exam. So take a chill ok?!

Taymi:
His solution is thrash
Check the solution for the second puzzle on the first page.

Take it easy young man or lady. Guess what, in the eyes of a monkey, humans are monkeys.

ADUKKY:
I think this is more of logical reasoning question and not mathematics.....I suggest you check your answer again to ensure you give people the right perspective.

Exactly! The question was thought to be easily understood by smart folks that was why the decoy was brought in. The helmet is not of the same size, even if you assumed one mathematical operation.



Let me give you an instance. A boy travels a distance of 8km in 2minutes. How many seconds has he travelled? Give me the answer

ADUKKY:
You can't ignore the helmet in the car.....it wasn't in the other cars

Have you heard of decoy?

Well, that was a decoy, because no mathematical operation was affixed to the differed picture.

For picture 1; let x represents the helmet. It implies that x + x + x = 30
3x = 30
x = 30/3 = 10
so x is 10

For picture 2, let y represents the car. It implies that y + y+ x = 20
since x is 10
y + y + 10 = 20
2y + 10 = 20
2y = 20 - 10
2y = 10
y = 10/2 = 5
so y is 5

For picture 3, let z represents the pair of trophies( 2 trophies). It implies that z + z + y = 13
since y is 5
z + z + 5 = 13
2z + 5 = 13
2z = 13 - 5
2z = 8
z = 8/2 = 4
so z is 4
But remember that z is a pair of trophies
It implies that 1 trophy is 4/2 = 2

For Picture 4, x(10) + y(5) x 1/2 of z(2) _____ 10 + 5 x 2
Apply BODMAS _______________ 10 + (5 x 2)
10 + 10 = 20.

Puzzle 2

Take a good look at each quantitative picture.

The 1st picture clearly shows 7 petals in each flower pot(7 + 7 + 7 = 21), discreetly indicating that each petal is 1.


The 2nd picture also shows 4 roses in each flower pot. it implies that ( 4x2 + 4x2 + 4x2 =8 + 8 + 8= 24 or 12x2 = 24).


The 3rd picture indicates that each empty pot is 4, that is ( 4 + 4 + 4 = 12).

Now, the 4th picture shows a flower pot of 6 petals( each petal is 1, totalling 6 in combined value) + an empty flower pot having a value of 4 x a flower pot of 5 roses having a combined value of 10(since each rose is 2 in value)

That is, 6 + 4 x 10

Don't forget to apply "BODMAS"

6 + (4 x 10)

6 + 40 = 46.




Thus, for puzzle 1, the answer is 20!
for puzzle 2, the answer is 46!

check the front page. The second post. I'll modify and post the answers there

Well, I was hoping the trivia would hit the front page, so many folks would try out the puzzles. I was about saying the mods here are fond of posting irrelevant threads to front page, but it occurred to me to give them the benefits of doubt. Maybe they didn't get to see/know about the thead.





As it stands, only two persons got the answer to one of the I.Q puzzles. Let me disclose the answers to the puzzles.

let's keep it coming

Yea I'm back. Sorry for the delay. I had to give extra-time because no-one got both answers correctly. Only nine persons got one of the puzzles

better

Hallenjay:
come n ansa it because I want to drop my own too

smiles.....





Well, as it stands, more than two persons have gotten the "answer". I need three more persons.




Let me liken these IQ puzzles to a Navy Seal drill designed to get the toughest soldiers to become commandos. I'll be observing till 6 p.m

I'll reveal the answers to pix 1 and pix 2 and acknowledge those who got it right later on.

Puzzle 1

For picture 1; let x represents the helmet. It implies that x + x + x = 30
3x = 30
x = 30/3 = 10
so x is 10

For picture 2, let y represents the car. It implies that y + y+ x = 20
since x is 10
y + y + 10 = 20
2y + 10 = 20
2y = 20 - 10
2y = 10
y = 10/2 = 5
so y is 5

For picture 3, let z represents the pair of trophies( 2 trophies). It implies that z + z + y = 13
since y is 5
z + z + 5 = 13
2z + 5 = 13
2z = 13 - 5
2z = 8
z = 8/2 = 4
so z is 4
But remember that z is a pair of trophies
It implies that 1 trophy is 4/2 = 2

For Picture 4, x(10) + y(5+10) x 1/2 of z(2) _____ 10 + 5 x 2
Apply BODMAS _______________ 10 + (15 x 2)
10 + 30 = 40.



Puzzle 2

Take a good look at each quantitative picture.

The 1st picture clearly shows 7 petals in each flower pot(7 + 7 + 7 = 21), discreetly indicating that each petal is 1.


The 2nd picture also shows 4 roses in each flower pot. it implies that ( 4x2 + 4x2 + 4x2 =8 + 8 + 8= 24 or 12x2 = 24).


The 3rd picture indicates that each empty pot is 4, that is ( 4 + 4 + 4 = 12).

Now, the 4th picture shows a flower pot of 6 petals( each petal is 1, totalling 6 in combined value) + (double empty flower pots having a value of 4+4= x (a flower pot of 5 roses having a combined value of 10(since each rose is 2 in value)

That is, 6 + 8 x 10

Don't forget to apply "BODMAS"

6 + (8 x 10)

6 + 80 = 86.




Thus, for puzzle 1, the answer is 40!
for puzzle 2, the answer is 86!
