[QUOTE=yawmwen;34007138]Imagine it like this.
If you were person one, you would have to shake 9 hands.
Every other person would have to shake 9 hands as well.
So for every person(10) there are 9 handshakes.
That would be 9 x 10 = 45. Or the sum of 1-9.[/QUOTE]
Actually 9x10 is 90, but since that is counting each hand shake twice you divide it in half :v:

Or, even easier, 9x10 = 90
90/2 = 45

Why is number 2 45?

Nevermind I figured it out[/QUOTE]
The handshake one.
One guy shakes the hands of everyone - he's shook 9 hands. Now that EVERYONE has shook his hand, he can leave.
Now there's only 9 people left. Take one guy from the 9 (he's already shook the hand of the guy who left), he shakes the remaining 8 peoples hands, then he can also leave.
That trend continues until there's only two people left, then once they've shook hands, they can both leave.

This thread is now about IQ test questions, apparently.
Anyone else want to share some more for the group? :wink:

1. Which letter does not belong in this series?
[b]H D R Y L[/b]
2. There are five children in the Pentax family. Alvin's sister Becky is younger than Conrad, who is older than Debbie. Debbie has one older brother and a younger sister but her youngest brother Eddy is not the "baby" of the family. In what order are the children from eldest to youngest?
3. Sloppy Joe is aptly named. He has a T-shirt that has a label attached to the inside of the front part of his right sleeve. The brand name on the label reads "AHOY".
He turned the T-shirt inside out and put it on back to front. Where now is the label and what does it read?
Get at it.

I may have worded it oddly.
What I should have said was, I know plenty of people that have been tested to have a high IQ, but either don't apply it in a beneficial way, or in having a high IQ, have views that are very immoral.
I wasn't trying to claim it was a knowledge test or anything like that, I just don't think that an IQ test should be able to define if you're "smart" or "not smart" as it seems to often be used.

[QUOTE=valkery;34006773]Just because I feel like being a douche, and because I have recently taken legitimate IQ tests, I am now going to tell you what my three scores average out to be.
133 IQ average.
Something like 124 for mathematics, and my reading skills were about 145 or so...[/QUOTE]
Good for you, but a point to remember is that those tests really don't mean much. Having genius level pattern recognition is amazing I'm sure, but it's not everything.

Fuck, I'm bad at patterns. I'll do this the only way I know how, with numbers.
H = 7
D = 3
R = 18
Y = 25
L = 12
Since it seems to go up, then down, then up, then down, with the exception of Y, I'll guess Y. I'm prolly wrong though.

Inside his back right sleeve. It still says AHOY because inverting the shirt doesn't invert the letters, I don't think. :v:

I agree with the first one, but for different, easier reasoning - it's the only letter there that can even be considered close to a vowel (y is sort of a semi-vowel if my memory serves me correctly).
I agree with the order of the kids (however you got it back to front, it asks eldest to youngest).

And I wanna say the label is on the outside of his right sleeve on the back, and still says AHOY.

I believe D is the 4th letter of the alphabet, not the 3rd.
[editline]1st January 2012[/editline]
And H is 8th, not 7th.

As in, they're all even numbered in the alphabet with the exception of Y, being 25.

I KNOW we're right on the second one, I'm fairly certain we're both right on the first one (although the reasoning is yet to be explained).
Last one... we differ on that one, but I'm fairly confident I got it right. My reasoning on the last one:
If you take your t-shirt off over your head it looks identical to when it's on you, except it's upside down, and anything on the inside is now on the outside (and vice-versa). For example, my t-shirt that I'm wearing now has an image of Homer Simpson burned by his BBQ igniting, so if I were to pull it over my head the image of Homer would be on the inside (but it'd still be facing forward), and the entire t-shirt would be upside down (Homer's head would be pointing down, the bottom of my t-shirt would be up in the air, etc).
Then if I rotated it by 180 degrees around the axis that would impale my t-shirt front to back it'd still be facing forward, but now the right sleeve would be the left sleeve, and vice versa.
Then if you wear it backwards you simply rotate it 180 degrees around the axis pointing through my t-shirt top to bottom (which makes the arms flip sides again, and front and back trade places). So the arm with the tag is the same arm as before, except the tag is on the outside now, and on the back side of the sleeve instead of the front.
literally the exact opposite of what should happen
can't have police that are capable of critical thought, can we?

I just imagined myself turning the shirt inside out and wearing it backwards.
And now that I imagine myself doing it again I see it as right back outside. Which is what you got.

I wonder if I should intentionally do bad when I take the test, though I shouldn't give myself that much credit. I think at an incredibly slow speed.

You are timed on tests, so in a way it is. If you give someone an hour on a visualization question they will get it right, eventually. Someone with capacity to think, reason, and visualize stuff well will do it fairly quickly.

Intelligence tests are bullshit anyway.
IQ tests are far better at identifying intelligence at the lower end of the scale, as opposed to measuring anything beyond the average
If I was the Police Chief of a nearby town I would be all over inviting that person to join my town.
They should just offer free training however if the person drops out or leaves before a certain period of time than they are charged for the education they received.
