***Official Thread for Evaluating MC Gas Money's IQ*** (1 Viewer)

Jack and Jill are old friends. Jack sees Jill for the first time in 12 years. Jill now has three kids and Jack asks how old they are. Jill tells Jack that the product of their ages is 72 and the sum of their ages is the same as Jack's birth date. Jill also tells Jack that her eldest just started piano lessons. How old are Jill's three kids?
suzuki method?

 
You have a rectangular shaped cake. One rectangular shaped piece is already taken from the cake. You can only make one cut with a knife and have to ensure the cake is cut into equal pieces. Where do you make the cut and how do you ensure the pieces are equal?
Where is the cut taken from?

I didn't take advanced home economics, I would have to do a little culinary studying to figure this one out.
Slice horizontally rather than vertically. Have a top half and a bottom half.

These questions need to be compiled in to a full test thst I take on nuetral territory with no way to cheat
I was hoping to see a flash of your genius before I wasted a bunch of time. Guess not.
Ok. First......where is the rectangle cut out of the cake? Im assuming one corner.

Then I would cut from the corner of the removed section diagonally to the corner of the remaining cake leaving two equal quadrilateral pieces

That is one correct answer to the question, but, leaves one person without frosting. There is still another answer.

My answer was sarcastic... See the post at 240pm.

The correct answer does not require an assumption to be made and works regardless of where the piece was taken.

 
I'd be interested in hearing the Wizard's opinion on the grand prize behind 3 doors and switching door situation.

Maybe game shows are more his thing :shrug:

This seems more like a riddle than a real logic problem.

My logic was sound but based on what you said about icing im expecting a trick answer which would never be on a real IQ test.

It would also help if other people didnt jump in to answer befote I have had a chsnce to. I am a busy man these days and may not be able to get to them right away. I eould prefer to go in to them fresh

Even with your "cut from a corner" assumption, your logic is still not sound.

Nuh uh
 
Answer: Any line drawn through the center point of the rectangle divides the rectangle into to equal areas. The cut would be the line drawn through the center of the cake and the center of the missing piece giving you both equal parts cake and equal parts missing piece.

That is precisely what I was describing

No it's not. The correct method will rarely involve cutting from any corners.

It would if it was a removed corner piece

 
You are really bad at this tony. I wouldnt trust you to check my wiper fluid let alone test someones IQ

We may as well just do the "who's on first routine"

Cut from the corner does not work in all cases. You simplified the question by visualizing a single case where the piece was missing from. That was a good start, but, you failed to expand what you learned from that case to the next until you had all cases accounted for. That's not indicative of an IQ as high as you claim.

Then you should have no problem gambling on it

 
Shut this down. MC has proven to be a complete ####### idiot who doesn't even understand the question being asked let alone any formidable approach to solve it.

Ps- as expected. Couldn't even fake it for 4 hours.

 
Jack and Jill are old friends. Jack sees Jill for the first time in 12 years. Jill now has three kids and Jack asks how old they are. Jill tells Jack that the product of their ages is 72 and the sum of their ages is the same as Jack's birth date. Jill also tells Jack that her eldest just started piano lessons. How old are Jill's three kids?
jesus.... been at this for a while. there is no one answer. it's just not possible w the limited knowledge we have

Is "birth date" just the day of the month?
