50.Sally paid for a coffee with a $10 bill and received $7.29 in change. How much did the coffee cost?
@HatemAli They want players who score at about 20, because apparently those people are not stupid while also not being independent thinkers (which could be bad in a team sport I guess)
I got them all except the coin-flip one, which I still cannot compute. I thought with independent probability, each flip has 1/2 chance of being heads, and because each flip is independent of the others, it's 1/2 overall. Seems like you get to the /8 denominator by multiplying the three denominators (/2) from each flip, but where does the 7/ numerator come from? Is this the calculation where you get the opposite conclusion and then subtract from one? So...1/2 odds of getting tails on a given flip...three flips...1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8 chance you'll get tails three times, which means the odds of not getting tails three times (i.e., at least one flip is heads) is 7/8. I think I just answered my own question, but can someone confirm this is right? I don't remember learning this in school.
It is because it is the odds of a heads on the first flip + the odds of a head on the second flip given a tails on the first + the odds of a heads on the third flip given a tails on the first and second flips. Ie 1/2 + (1/2*1/2) + (1/2*1/2*1/2) = 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 = 4/8 + 2/8 + 1/8 = 7/8.
I think if you draw a probability tree out, with each throw having an outcome of heads or tails (1/2 each), you then have to add up each time you get a head, it should be 7/8. I'm not sure how that would work but I think that's how you get the answer. You would end up with 7 chances of a head but I'm not sure where the 8 comes from
I've never commented on JetPunk before, but I'm so happy to have got them all right (with 46 seconds to spare) that I feel a strange compulsion to show off!! Thanks for making me feel happy Quizmaster!
So, apparently I can read defenses pre-snap, determine whether the linebacker will blitz, and quickly ascertain if that safety's going to hold his zone or come down on the crossing route. Now, on to the bench press and the 40...
This quiz is ridiculously easy if you get time to think. It's all about split decisions and applying both learned and known knowledge to the situation.
Your answer to number 40 is wrong. As a matter of fact, the right answer doesn't appear as one of the choices.
40. Only 20% of farms have good soil. But these farms produce 80% of the crops. How many times more productive is a farm with good soil than one without?
Farms with good soil are 15 times more productive. They are 16 times as productive, but only 15 times more productive.
Suppose there are 5 farms in the scenario that make 10 crops. 1 farm (1/5 = 20%) is the most productive, and it makes 8 crops (80%). The other 4 farms collectively make 2 crops, or 0.5 each. So the top farm makes 8 crops to any other farm's 0.5. 8 is 16x 0.5
If I have one, and you have 16, you have 16 times as much as me, not 16 times more than me. You would need to have 17 to my one in order to have 16 times more. The answer is 16 times as much or 15 times more. 16 times more is wrong.
I suppose this comes down to the way you translate this into understanding. Most people would say "16 times as much as" is the same as "16 times more". If this were a question about percents, it would be different. e.g. 30% more=1.3x as much. But this is asking for the factor. Although I do agree that the wording could be made more clear.
This is a great quiz, however, the question with the fan, the car, the bike, and the boat confused me a little... since the car and the boat are both vehicles, and they contain fans for the engine (in some of them), just like some bikes contain fans (for the engine/motor). Basically I just feel like a different set of answers would improve it a little, but it's only minor! Thanks!
I thought that was odd too - I read it the first time as "vehicles plus an odd man out" but then I re read and and realized if I looked at the words as *words* there were four one syllable words and one with two syllables.
This makes me think that the people who become football players do so because no other option is left to them... 50/50 in half the time is not a challenge.
Crikey - 49/50 and with 1 minute to spare. I only missed out on 50 because I didn't read one of the questions properly. However I'm not sure that makes me 160+ IQ. So far as I know my IQ is 135 - 140 from previous tests I have taken (a long time ago).
I was making all sorts of sentences but I was using allow not allowed and needed another to as well
He had to allow Sarah to win the game.
Sorry but not had good experiences with people named Sarah/Sara it is my personal version of the name Karen (I have meet some awesome Karens) So it was influencing what I thought they would expect to happen.
You probably suffer from availability bias. Many smart people overestimate the intelligence of average people since they interact with so few of them.
This leads to the frequent, but very incorrect, opinion that IQ doesn't matter. Spend some time around people with below average intelligence and you'll realize that IQ matters. A lot.
I think intelligence matters but IQ doesn't. At least where I'm from, anyway. It's not a common test for people to take and IQ tests are not well regarded in the education community. That's mostly because many old IQ tests used questions that were biased towards native English-speakers and people who are culturally European.
I'm gonna sound like a huge nerd for saying this, but in question 2, the length of the red line cannot be determined. The side lengths are defined, but they could actually be placed in any angle because that is not defined. This would change the length of the red line.
Indicating right angles or parallel lines would fix this.
I 100% read question 10's first choice as "eleventy billion" and i thought well that's not even a word and chose 42 million thinking it was a trick. I missed what is essentially the easiest question on the whole quiz.
Feel pretty good about 43/50, especially since I completely guessed on several of the math ones (and apparently was confident July was the ninth month)
50/50 - The difference between getting a 45 and a 50 (if math is your hangup), is just being able to move on as soon as you've ruled out answers that can't be right. For example the 119 * 119 question: I don't need to figure it out, I just know that 100 * 100 is 10,000, and there's only one answer bigger than 10,000. There are a bunch of problems like that, and if you can do that problem in 2 seconds instead of 45, it lets you spend more time elsewhere if you need it.
Time is definitiv the main factor here. Most of the questions are pretty easy, although as a non native english speaker I struggeled with some of the vocabulary questions.
I also guessed some of the mathematics questions to win some time.
I still ended with about 10 questions unanswered but 36 right.
An IQ test measures the raw processing power of your brain, so of course time is a factor. It measures how quickly your brain can process data and do abstract calculations.
It's similar to a computer benchmark in which you measure how many operations a computer chip can do in a certain time, or how long it takes to do a certain job (both measure how many calculations per second).
The time limit is an important part of an IQ test. It is an assessment that measures a range of cognitive abilities, including solving problems, using logic, and spatial reasoning and how well the test taker can do these things within a time limit. Cognitive abilities by definition includes how fast you can do things and how well you can do them under pressure. Taking it away would make this test not an IQ test.
You are right about time being a key factor for an IQ test, but in this test there are some questions which test your knowledge, or better put, your vocabulary.
While a higher IQ helps to achieve a greater vocabulary, it also depends a lot on the social environment you lived in.
Of course it is also a factor if the language of the test is your native language or a language you learned later, but I assume that this test is meant for native english speakers, so I don't think that matters here.
Among all the things in a typical IQ test, vocabulary has the highest correlation with g, or general intelligence.
Yes, it's obvious you can study vocabulary, but it's not like you can do it in an afternoon. It takes years, and smarter people will learn faster. Other parts of an IQ test are actually much more game-able.
For native speakers of a language, a large vocabulary is a strong, though not foolproof, indicator of intelligence.
47/50 with 2 minutes left, though I got fooled by how numbers are written in english (as opposed to french) : we use a komma to indicate decimals and space out groops of 3 numbers, while in english the point is used for the decimals and a komma for thousands.
Example :
French writing : this house costs 1 000 000,00€
English writing : this house costs $1,000,000.00
So I misinterpreted a number in the thousands as a much smaller number with decimals, whose order of magnitude couldn't be true.
The odds question is incorrect. 7/8 is the probability. Odds are equal to the probability of an event happening divided by the probability of the event not happening. Here, that is 7/8 / 1/8 = 7/1 = 7. The odds are 7, or as odds are most typically expressed, 7:1 or 7 to 1.
A lot of NFL players are pretty dumb, but not all of them. It is just a fact and this test is traditionally used on them to test their cognitive abilities. This is an adaptation of the real thing; the record for the real test to be finished is nine minutes at a 48/50 by Ryan Fitzpatrick.
I browsed the questions prior to taking it. I decided not to take it because it is skewed toward mathematical problem- solving. Verbal logic tests are critical and a stromger indicator of IQ . The Miller Analogy Test is a good measure of IQ. Recognizing relational patterns is more important.

40. Only 20% of farms have good soil. But these farms produce 80% of the crops. How many times more productive is a farm with good soil than one without?
Farms with good soil are 15 times more productive. They are 16 times as productive, but only 15 times more productive.
Suppose there are 5 farms in the scenario that make 10 crops. 1 farm (1/5 = 20%) is the most productive, and it makes 8 crops (80%). The other 4 farms collectively make 2 crops, or 0.5 each. So the top farm makes 8 crops to any other farm's 0.5. 8 is 16x 0.5
I got it right by luck. It makes absolutely no sense at all to me.

I don't want to sound rude, but it honestly surprises me that the average would be 35.
This leads to the frequent, but very incorrect, opinion that IQ doesn't matter. Spend some time around people with below average intelligence and you'll realize that IQ matters. A lot.
Indicating right angles or parallel lines would fix this.
