Japanese IQ test (Roman, cross) - Page 2

Here's another one -- let's see if I can explain it well or not.

4 people escape from prison. They come to an old, rickety bridge across a deep gully. The only way across the gully is to use the bridge. The bridge can only support 2 people at a time. The prisoners have only one flashlight, which they need in order to cross the bridge. Throwing the flashlight back to the other side is out of the question.

Prisoner #1 can get across the bridge in 1 minute
Prisoner #2 can get across the bridge in 2 minutes
Prisoner #3 can get across the bridge in 5 minutes
Prisoner #4 can get across the bridge in 10 minutes

When 2 people are crossing at the same time, they can only go as fast as the slowest of them (i.e. 1 and 4 together take 10 minutes, etc).

They have 17 minutes before the police catch up to them. How do they all get across the bridge.

In NewYork City the same test is called the the chicken, the feed and the fox and it is a little kids test like in the first grade. I can't believe that you have the nerve to even try and belittle some one it takes about two seconds. Here to make it easy for you it is a very simple process of taking two leaving one going back leaving that one taking another two leaving the one and bring back the one that was left and so on till they are all across. Oh ya I' old so we had different teachers then. Here is another first grade test if ti takes 3 min. to boil one egg how many does it take to boil 3 eggs? HAHA . If you were sirious about this being hard? In that case be nice you might not be so smart.

This one is slightly more complicated than the one you are talking about. Did you actually try it, or just assume that since you have seen something similar it must be the same?

Hi, soy leche. hablas Espanol? I'm sorry for what I said It is just that your attemp to elevate yourself and the attempt to belittle was to much. But yes it is alittle more difficult just because there are more players. but it is still the same. But to give you your props. it is not that easy for some but if you are use to thinking in this way it is easy. But we all are not the same some people that could not do this could take a car appart and put it back together does that make you stupid if you can't NO. IQ tests are fun. But not all think in that way. does it make them stupid? once again NO. Does it make me smart because I can do them?NO there was a test do in NYC years ago about some kids with high IQ' no very high all over 140 out of the tenn only one I think even could hold down a job. Afew were in prison one mental hospital. IQ tests are fun but are mostly common sence with a twist

If it wasn't, I would have put it in another thread.

There is a little button on the bottom right of each post that says "Quote" - you really ought to start using it. It makes a conversation much easier to follow.

why dont they just leave prisoner 4 behind, then they will get across with 9 minutes to spare, and they wont be slowed down by some idiot who takes 10 minutes to cross a freaking bridge!

cool, supply and demand. Then prisoner #3 gets left behind, and prisoner 1 and 2 pick that lazy slow *** #4 up and rush him off to the treasure.
