Too Smart???

[Byteman]

Don't know if any of you have seen this yet... if so, don't give the answer.

Are you too smart to figure this out?

Well, at least I burned a half hour figuring it out, I've got nothing but time to kill.

lol...nice puzzle

 

[Byteman]

I took 5 minutes,... I feel like an idiot )

 

[mumia]

I dont realy get it but i guesd ones

 

[Cromewell]

well I was trying the completely wrong thing, several different ways, I didn't expect it to work the way it does at all. When my so-called simple methods failed I started trying to match a numerical pattern which also didn't work. Finally when I thought about it a little more I tried what turned out to be the right way . So afterwards I read a few of the comments and a many of the people were complaining that they were plenty smart and it only took them 2 minutes, which gave me a good laugh, there were so offended by the write up and thier results from a 'simple' game .

yeah i figured it out took me about 20 mins though...and countless different approaches which all failed. Got it now though and can sleep more easy tonight lol

http://www.logicmazes.com/theseus.html this one brings back memories, I solved them all about 2 years ago but some of them are quite challenging

took about 10 mins, you always try lots of complicated maths ways first
cude1 * cude2 to the root cude2 * e ^ cube4 etc.....

Took about a minute. And I'm a mensa candidate..
Pretty funny once you figure it out.

 

[Hello]

I stayed on the page for about 10 seconds. So really didn't try it that much.

I had to cheat to figure it out. Wait that means I am smart.

 

[apj101]

one thing you can be sure about, brain smarts or iq have little to do with this sort thing. It's just the different manner that people percieve things

 

[elmarcorulz]

took me about 5 minutes, i felt so stupid when i got it

 

[flame1117]

Its complete BS I have taken a full length IQ test and scored 128. 100=average 160=genuis. and yet i figured this out in less then 5 minties. It all just depes how how you look at it, it has nothing to do with how smart you are. I have seen this before.

 

[elmarcorulz]

we know it has nothing to do with how smart you are, but the msarter people would generally look for a mathematical equation to solving the problem, ie add up the numbers from each one and divide by the first dice.

 

[nevinenigma]

I've seen that before, it took me like 2 minutes the first time I saw it. Then this time it took me like 20 seconds because I hadn't seen it in a while and forgot the trick.

 

[flame1117]

It can be that way, but not always. I'm smart,and i know alot of other people that are too, that would also ifnd that out easy it just depends on how you think.

....., i dont understand what your supposed to do......... petals around the rose?, wtf?..

 

[Cromewell]

you do exactly what it says, roll 4 or 5 6-sided dice and find out how many 'petals' it represents
