Did anyone figure out the last question? (The one with weird arrows on them). I just guessed.

I guessed on the last one too. I said it was the middle one, since both objects were small and the other 4 choices had at least 1 large object.

I think that IQ tests are ... pointless and even insulting.

I never took one and I dont plan to. Actually, me and two friends had one when we were younger, score was 130 so divide it by three...

Surely that should be 'cunning linguist'?

I'm a 136 Visual Mathematician ( in other words, none of us ****ed up the pictograms... )

It's out of 140 as far as I can work out anyway....

The 'which of these doesn't fit?' It's got to be the one with the small triangle linked to the small square. All the others have large with small, it's the only one with two smalls.

Anyone ever do the one which was on something like www.iqtest.com. What a load of bollucks. It corrected for age so I got 152 and the little sister of one of my friends got 167. It also had questions which required a passing knowledge of American currency....

Did any of the other UK Apolytoners take part it 'test the nation?'

I answered the two balls thing, the only thing that consisted of 2 same shape objects. Also Asher mentioned about size, so either there is a third factor or you have to value either shape or size more to make a desicion
Anne, you got same as me and Stefu.
Btw, anyone succesful of making a pattern for 17 19 36 49 50?

400, 100, and 2500 are all perfect squares. So the answer is 900.

Ah ****. I guess that's one of the ones I got wrong. I decided it was to do with three being a factor and rather than work out which of 1000 and 1100 were divisible by three without a remainder ( which is neither... but what the hey ) I went for the former.

D'oh!

There's a second solution thinkable:

He likes...	He doesn't like...
400 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 5 * 5	300 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 * 5
100 = 2 * 2 * 5 * 5	99 = 3 * 3 * 11
2500 = 2 * 2 * 5 * 5 * 5 * 5	2400 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 * 5

All numbers he likes, have only the prime factors 2 and 5, while those he doesn't like, have also other prime factors. If we take this approach, the solution would be 1000 (2 * 2 * 2 * 5 * 5 * 5) instead of 900.

Stupid test.

Your IQ score is 138



...I agree, this is a stupid test....

If true, that means I answered every question correctly.

	Suffering from ads?

Yeah. And?

It also means that the rest of us who got 136 and 138 either answered four/two incorrectly or, as is more likely from the frequency of those two results and the possibility they are basing it on some kind of curve - one or two.

An IQ test where if you make a single mistake you get read as 138 and where it is impossible to get more than 140 is not an accurate test.

You really need to loosen up.
