You just saved me a few hours of agony. Thanks. Never would have gotten that one.

I would be very interested if anyone cares to explain the last 6 answers. I may be stupid, but I'm inquisitive with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge.

There are a lot of ridiculous IQ tests out there. This might be the worst offender I've seen.

15: -5. Dunno why.
16: Visualize them all as square post-its. #1 is on the top, and every other one is partially obscured by the ones above it. 8 has to be on the bottom.
17: "5,10,19,32,49,70... What is next?" The difference between the numbers increases by 4 each time. +5 between 5 and 10. +9 between 10 and 19. +13 between 19 and 32. +17 between 32 & 49. +21 between 49 & 70, so the next is +25 and the result is 95.
18: 17. Dunno why.
19: "H" fits both left/right and top/bottom symmetry for the rows.
20: Read them left to right, and one line segment moves between each graphic. Although A, C, D, and E all seem to work by the rules of the middle row, A is the most correct because it's also a rotation of the first image in the row (same as in rows 1 & 2 where the 1st & 3rd symbols are rotations).

I think this was more of a logic test than an IQ test.

This isnt an IQ test. This is a math and logic test. The only similiarity is pattern recognition. A real IQ test measures spatial reasoning and consists of a lot of puzzles involving colors and shapes. I was given many of them as a child.
The classic misconception is that knowledge=intelligence. It doesnt. IQ tests dont measure what you know, they measure your ability to learn.

I love a good Hilbert sequence.
I'm surprised with the higher scores, no one figured out your "IQ" is just how many questions you got right. 170=17 correct. I got 19 right therefore my "IQ" was 190 (of course it is not nearly that high irl). But still an interesting test to take. make a lot people feel smarter so maybe it'll motivate them to work harder on things. Then again it could cause the opposite effect too.
Was still a fun test to take and those last few were pretty good.
I know the one I got wrong was the number box so if someone does figure out the pattern, I'd love to see it. Thought I had figured out the pattern a few times but then I was able to disprove it, which put me right back to the drawing board.

#14 C and D are mutually exclusive so one is a lie, that means A is true since A is true C is a lie.
#15. Add the 2 digits in the bottom row and subtract that from the top row to get middle row.
#16. 2/8 3/4 4/5 5/2 6/3 7/6 so it's 8
#17. The difference increases by 4. 5 9 13 17 21 25.
18. Add all the digits across to get the number below 8+8+6+3=25
#19. Symmetry as already explained in other post.
#20. Turn bottom line 90 degrees then the top line 90 degrees.

My beef is that with all the other grammatical errors, in this question and in many others, it's easy to infer that the usage of "maybe" here could mean "one of" or "either". Since the language is so imprecise elsewhere, there's no way to have faith in one word here.
Also, it is explicitly stated there is one liar. It is not explicitly stated there is one cheater. If one allows for multiple cheaters, other answers are possible.

if you fold the letters on the top row in half vertically through the middle of the letter they mirrow each side. If you fold the bottom letters horizontally through the middle they mirror top with bottom. H does left to right and top to bottom.

No. This is a valid and reliable test of intelligence, which confirms that the FFA is home to a statistically improbable number of super-geniuses. If only we used our powers for good instead of shtick, the world would be a better place, just not as funny.

"maybe" can't be true or a lie so it is useless information. They are testing your ability to extract the meaningful infornation.To explain it in detail:
1. There is one liar.
2. C says B didn't do it but D says B did it so one of them is the liar.
3a. Since C or D is the liar A is telling the truth.
3b. C won't cheat unless B does. NOW FACT since A is tellung the truth.
4. C says "C cheated without B cheating", 3b proves this is a lie.
5. C lied.......... thus B cheated.

Post #77 above. There are at least three grammatical errors in this question alone. Hinging the whole thing on an interpretation of "maybe" is pointless. Also, it's only stated there is one liar, but never stated there is only one cheater. Therefore more than one answer is possible and should be acceptable.

My post proves C lied without using B so the interpretation of maybe is irrelevant. As for post 77, inductive reasoning does not guarantee a correct answer. You must use deductive reasoning to come to a true answer. In other words, don't start with the answers, start with the question/facts.

Well below FBG average, I suspect, at a mere 160.

I think it's an EQ test based on ability to reconcile that even though you scored well - it's bull####.
