Ok, most of them were easy, but I had to guess at this one.... ???? I'm stumped

 

 

what are the choices?

 

I understand now why the bottom shape is a white circle (it is). Look diagonally accrossed the middle. Oval, square, circle of all the same shade. Now start at the upper right corner. Go diagonally down and to the right. The next box down would be the 1st square on the 2nd row (the white square). The next box (the box in question) should be a circle to maintain this pattern.

 

 

your theory still doesnt explain the middle box in the top row though?

 

You have to extend the square. Expand it to make it 9x9 and you'll see that the square in the top in the middle repeats itself outside the 3x3 square.

You could get the same result just by looking straight down, all that tells you is the rows are made of the same shapes, like dru said a while back.

Just shaded to make the figgering harder?

Yeh your right snoboy. I stand correxted.

yeah, the middle one has to have nothing in my theory, because it SHOULD have an oval, but the oval would have to be half-white and half-black to accord with the pattern of the lower rows, where the centre is the opposite of the edges.

True... I was thinking of the top shape, which would be a small dark square... that would make the top shape pattern obvious. but yeah a bottom shape would be "impossible" there..

[MountainMan]

Maybe its got somethign to do with the number and type of bottom shapes overall?

I'll go out on a limb here and say that Dru is probably the smartest fucker here, Off White is close behind. Didn't General Schwartzkopf have an IQ of 181? I'll take the test now, hopefully there will be lots of science questions.

What about me you fucker?

[sexual_chocolate]

Intelligence is a generic condition characterized by invisibility and post-mortem depression.

 

Which means it's kinda silly to put too much stock into an IQ test, especially one that I did so poorly on.

cheater, you are gonna use our beta for the mystery box question. whadda ya call that, artificial intelligence? like a blonde with brown hair dye?

[jon]

Actually I didn't read most of the thread so I didn't cheat, but I got that one pretty easily. My language skills on the other hand are so suck.

You only say that because you don't like Dwayner, you don't like "pope" and you don't like Trask.

 

[jon]

Too bad that wasn't on the test.

Hey Dru, let me get this straight. Are you saying you got 167 on this test?

You're tied with me Trask. We don't need to be smarter than Dru, just smarter than Tomcat. If the test was over digging up wacky shit on the internet you would have a perfect score.

 

Here's a good troll:

 

1) Find a thread where a poster that already hates you is getting all worked up on. Things work even beter if the subject of the debate is some internet test.

 

2) Take the test, then if you beat him, taunt him about it.

 

3) Finish by making a post that you know will enrage him.

 

4) Log off, have a beer, relax and do some reading etc.

 

5) Log on to cc.com in the AM before work and witness the results.

 

 

PS Muffy sure can kick some ass.

 

 

[allthumbs]

Yeah, Muffy don't take any shit when cornered. I'd have to agree with Jon on OffWhite; he's a real fart smel...er I mean he's a real smart feller too.

[sk]

thanks guys

[Bronco]

Admit it, you guys discussing the "magic" square are trekies.

[ctuller]

Hmmm. I scored a 23. Is that good?

[Dru]

23 out of 20 is excellent!!!

 

tomdav - yes i scored a 167. I can produce 3 witnesses and a glowing testimonial from Mike Gauthier if you doubt my claim!!! If you get really critical I will get some avatars to back me up

Very interesting. I took the test and initially got a 142. Out of curiousity, I hit my back button and changed the answers to the few questions I wasn't 100% sure about, then hit enter to see my revised score, doing so one at a time. In every case but one my score dropped (meaning the original answer was correct). I missed the grape vs. coconut in case anyone thinks I'm attempting to highlight my intelligence. Correcting this changed my score to 144, which I believe is the maximum possible score. If you look at the normal distribution of IQ scores, you'll see that the tails flatten at 144.

 

 

In order to statistically capture the tails they would need to ask more than 40 questions so I call bullshit on Dru. It's not difficult to demonstrate. I'll supply the answers that score 144 and if Dru can indicate which ones are incorrect (not necessarily give the answers) leading to a score of 167 I'll change my avatar to a dunce cap for a month. Otherwise I suggest Dru do the same for attempting to inflate his score here, among other things.
