How Smart Are You

Lets see how smart you guys are. I'll give you the answers when I feel like it... and yes these are all the ones I could get. 1. You're sitting on a bus. The kid next to you has a helium-filled balloon. She lets go of the balloon and it ends up against the ceiling, just about in the center of the bus. The driver suddenly hits the gas pedal and the bus lurches forward, throwing you back into your seat. What does the balloon do? a) It moves backward. b) It moves forward. c) It stays where it is. 2. How can you make the following equation correct without changing it: 8+8=91 3. You're sitting in a boat in a swimming pool. You have a large anchor in the boat. You drop the anchor into the water, and, of course, it sinks immediately. What happens to water level in the pool? a) It goes up. b) It goes down. c) Stays the same. 4. A guy purchased two clocks from Zamamee's Repair Shop and set them at the same time. He soon discovered, however, that one clock was two minutes slow per hour and the othe was one minute fast per hour. The next time the guy looked, one clock was exactly an hour ahead of the other. How long had it been since he last set the clocks? 5.A clown was about to board a ciy bus with his newly purchased, five-foot-long novelty toothbrush, when the bus driver informed him of a city ordinance prohibiting packages more than four feet tall. The clown only had enough money to take the bus home so he tried returning the toothbrush... but the store wouldn't take returns. Five minutes later, the clown was on the bus riding home... with the big toothbrush in one piece. How'd he do it? [Edited on 5/9/2005]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] pj_1988 heh people i you are so smart explane these [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] pj_1988 oke 1 for teh reall nerds explane what would be needed(that is wich theory should be acurate) for all force to be unified (eisteins dream). [b]Evidently, a hefty dose of REM sleep. Or a big hammer. [i]A HAMMER OF THE GODS!!![/i][/b] also explane Asymptotic Freedom inside protons or neutrons [b]Well, first, the protons and neutrons that came to the new nucleus from across the molecule, decided that they were going to enslave the electrons, who looked different. Then, they signed a constitution garaunteeing freedom for all particles in the nucleus. Of course, this meant that they would have to stop slavery, but decided, instead, to simply bribe some scientists into declaring electrons sufficiently "different" as to be from a different species. Thus, the protons and neutrons were free.[/b] and number 3 explane the theory of relativety with a very fancy self made example.[/quote][/quote]

  • MinkofWar. Calm down. We know you are3 smart. No need to argue with everyone :P And there are more than two IQ scales, internet IQ tests on the other hand are completely inaccurate and results vary considerably.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Linkgmr Speaking of IQ tests, I haven't taken one yet. Besides, I could be wrong, but those two science questions have no relevance to IQ. From what I know, IQ is the speed and accuracy of your thoughts. Because of this, those science questions do not relate to IQ because those things must be learned. IQ cannot be learned, as it is the speed and accuracy of thoughts. Can anyone try and guess my IQ? Or can anyone at least direct me to one of those sites?[/quote] Basically, Knowledge and Intelligence are two separate things. Some of these riddles require one or the other, some require both. Others simply require the ability to pay attention to what you are reading. Just Google it, it's the easiest way to find pretty much anything.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Devious Overdose Mink of War you are an idiot! There’s no way you have 150, Internet test or not. It’s hilarious to read someone’s answer when they are trying soo hard to come across as an intelligent person. Dude Stop constructing your replies with such care. The simple answers, with these types of questions, are the correct ones. The answer isn’t some mackavyllian approach to the universe tying in the 3rd law of thermodynamics and Newtonian physics, Einstein! [b]That's what the Internet IQ test said, who am I to argue? I have no idea what an actual IQ test would say, having never taken one. You may also notice that I am simply trying maintain a ledgible semblance of english when I type. It is something you seem to be less than adept at, though better than many others in this forum. It also appears that you can't even be bothered to read my [i]name[/i] properly, despite the fact that it was likely directly above your text while you were typing it (that is, if you replied to [i]my[/i] thread, which I realize you may not have done).[/b] And the answer to the last question about the clown and the toothbrush. 5.A clown was about to board a city bus with his newly purchased, five-foot-long novelty toothbrush, when the bus driver informed him of a city ordinance prohibiting packages more than four feet tall. The clown only had enough money to take the bus home so he tried returning the toothbrush... but the store wouldn't take returns. Five minutes later, the clown was on the bus riding home... with the big toothbrush in one piece. How'd he do it? It just says "..with the toothbrush in one piece" it didn’t say the toothbrush was on the bus. The clown (Mink of War) didn’t take the damn thing with him. [b]Perhaps you should try reading the entire thread before you flame me. Other answers include putting it diagonally in a 4' x 3' box. With proper puntuation, the question should really read: "Five minutes later, the clown was on the bus, riding home, with the big toothbrush, in one piece." Just because the simplest explanation is that he left it there (after he had just paid for it, and couldn't return it), doesn't mean that it's the correct answer. Try to figure out how he could have done it [i]while[/i] keeping the toothbrush with him. [i]Solve[/i] the problem. Leaving it there does not solve the clown's problem at all, it just leaves him with empty pockets, and nothing to show for it.[/b] A plane crashes on the border of the US and Canada, there were no casualties. But the odd thing is that This plane crashes exactly on the border, which splits the plane directly in half. So the question is, where do you bury the dead? Canada or the US? NO ONE DIED!!!! or NO ONE was aboard!!! Read the damn thing "..there were no casualties." Yes death is a casualty. [b]Are you still talking to me here? You seem to have started blabbering about something completely different, namely, someone else's post... And I believe that to most people, this old riddle is blatantly obvious, so I don't know what you're yelling about.[/b] But then again I could be wrong and come on 8 x 8 = 91 WTF is wrong with you "GENIUS Gorgerwert"? [b]I take it you agree with my response here...[/b] [/quote]

If there is no wind it will stay in the roof untill wind blows it or untill the roof is shaken.[/quote] First off, he asked the questions wrong (you might want to read the posts following it) and second, The imperfections in the egg and the metal would decide which way it fell in anything other than near gale-force winds.

[/quote] You don't flip the whole problem upside down just turn the + sighn a little so its a multiplication sighn. [/quote] First off, ignore the tag on the one, that's just the font. Just look at it upside down and it's true. Second, 8 x 8 does not equal 91!! It equals 64!! And third, changing the addition symbol to a multiplication symbol completely changes the entire equation! You can't touch the equation, learn to read!

You wil never fin the answer![/quote] You bury the dead depending on what nationality thier were and wherre thier families want them to be burried. If the egg is placed exactly on the top the wind dictates which direction is will move. If there is no wind it will stay in the roof untill wind blows it or untill the roof is shaken.
