jajaja I got the first three but number 4 was hard because I would of use one of the edges to build the rectangle only with 3 lines.

25th November 2008 at 9:30 pm
This is really Saturday night down at the local quiz. I got 2 answers right, it took me more than a minute. I love these quickies, there are great. Bring on the next one
25th November 2008 at 9:37 pm
This test is more about your ability to think “outside the box” than anything else. and its about the subtleties of language…. Write “anything” here… a rectangle (containing) 3 lines…. Got to “read between the lines” for this one!
25th November 2008 at 11:06 pm
It was interesting, but I could not answer any questions
25th November 2008 at 11:11 pm
It is an interesting exam that we have to use to check a general knowledge of people I am sorry I did not understand but when I saw the answer They are easy
26th November 2008 at 1:19 am
when i see the answer, its so easy. but i stil dont understand the fourth question, sorry for myself.
26th November 2008 at 3:43 am
I am sorry! I failed the exam but is very funny, thanks.

26th November 2008 at 5:24 pm
it’s really ceative… I couldn’t succeed even one
27th November 2008 at 2:47 am
I hate numbers. I couldn’t do number 2. This is a very nice activity.
27th November 2008 at 8:07 am
An outclass IQ. At first I wasn’t understand these questions. I would like to have this kind of exam every day but with some more time. Hats off!
27th November 2008 at 8:11 am
an excellent exam. I would like to have more of these exams every day but with some extra time.
27th November 2008 at 9:51 am
that was very very very very very funny.thanks alot
27th November 2008 at 9:46 pm
Wao! what a game.
28th November 2008 at 2:00 am
That’s great!
28th November 2008 at 11:01 am
yes i am ready to commit that i got totally confused in answering. when i saw answers of the questions i got crazy since answers were so eazy & needed only commom sence & which is normally not common.
28th November 2008 at 11:51 am
I read the test at first but I don’t understand anything. Then I can understand what the test required. It’s wonderful. I’ll try next time.
28th November 2008 at 7:25 pm
Fun and tricky!
I didn’t pass the exam.
I got the “anything” and nothing more…..
But I enjoyed the answers and so did
my son!
Thanks a lot!!!
29th November 2008 at 1:34 am
i wasn’t able to answer any of the questions. I confess iI am poor. Shame on me!
29th November 2008 at 10:56 am
I do not have enough time because I study medicine. Sorry
29th November 2008 at 2:59 pm
Wow! That’s surprising to realize how EASINESS can be HARDNESS sometimes.
30th November 2008 at 3:54 am
I’m still confuse with test number 2
30th November 2008 at 4:26 am
ibnu asqori pohan:
5 + 5 + 5 = 550 is clearly wrong. But if you add a single line to the first + sign it looks like 4. So now it is 545 + 5 = 550, which is correct
30th November 2008 at 7:27 pm
it was nice and funny exam .
but unfortunately i could not answer even one question.
any way thanks a lot.
Send me more please
2nd December 2008 at 10:03 pm
OMG!!!
FAILED
3rd December 2008 at 4:17 am
Can’t I use 5 + 5 + 5 =/ 550. =/ here implies not equals?? Thats also a single stroke.
3rd December 2008 at 4:47 am
Abhishek: that might be a smart solution too. The stroke would go through the = sign, like this:
5 + 5 + 5 ≠ 550
ie: 5 + 5 + 5 does not equal 550
I’m no mathematician so I’m not sure if it would then be a “formula”, strictly speaking (which was the original question). Perhaps a mathematician could clarify?
4th December 2008 at 9:03 am
I didn’t pass
5th December 2008 at 3:20 am
It is realy very very good for information that you should think first in easy step then you can think high bcz every big problem have a simple sollution with him.

17th November 2009 at 1:15 pm
Where does success come before work? The answer is in the dictionary! This came from Dr. Clark’s book, which is an excellent resource regarding how to (1) develop a personal network to aid in getting into the best colleges, (2) find financial assistance if needed, (3) fill out applications, (4) correspond with key individuals and (5) answer interviewers’ questions. After buying and reading his book, I highly recommend that everyone go to ABCPhD.com and buy his book. It is well worth the price.
