Subject: IQ test

its about finding the pattern.... if u find it, ur answer is correct... so if u do it in 20~ min that means u should get 100%....

if u just think that you have found something and based on that u make a 'most possible' guess, then ure just guessing.... this test is easier for guessers like you because it gives only few choices which are quite different, while in a more advanced test where there are many choices to choose from and most of them are different only a tiny bit, your guessing approach would give you nothing, because to answer correctly u have to find an exact pattern...

I also did first questions quickly, but i could easily spend at least 20min on last 7~ questions

I was interrupted for over 10min during the test and had to go off the pc and as you said, starting from scratch would be pointless

I was interrupted for over 10min

That's a coitus interruptus

lol ;)

You're wrong. It is actually possible to be wrong on this test, even if you don't guess.
It's not just guessing or getting it 100% right.

A Japanse IQ-test that some companies use when they're recruiting. You get 15 minutes to solve it. Apparently, only 10% manages to solve it.

Rules:
- the raft can only bear the weight of two people
- only the policeman, the father and the mother know how to use the raft
- the prisoner can never be left with a member of the family without the policeman
- the mother can never be left with the sons without the father
- the father can never be left with the daughters without the mother

Those japanese families are really cruel :p

I did it, but only with a lot of try and error. Would be a real challenge if they'd reset the whole thing when making a mistake :)

Had to try 3-4 times, it's perfectly possible to do it in once if you'd think about it before you try.

This is not written in japanese but in chinese.

Well, what's the difference?

(Rhetorical question.)

About the game, nothing... About language... A bit... ;-)

Just to inform... Nothing else :-)

I'm missing 1 step :/

same, i knew how to do it, but to actually do it was still hard to do without mistakes :)

Made it :)

It's realy simple, you just need to write on the paper the rules to understand how an action can affect the other one, that's the key point.
