  • Your IQ

    Just did this little test , its suppose to assess your IQ quicker than the Mensa system . How did you get on without Googling ?

    THE COGNITIVE REFLECTION TEST

    1. A bat and a ball cost £1.10 in total. The bat costs £1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?

    2. If it takes five machines five minutes to make five widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?

    3. In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads. Every day, the patch doubles in size. If it takes 48 days for the patch to cover the entire lake, how long would it take for the patch to cover half of the lake?

            Bat and ball cost £1.10 , bat is £1.00 more than the ball .................so the bat cost £1.05 and the ball costs 5p , that's the £1 difference .

            P.S. don't be to hard on yourself Katie...

                              If the lily pads double every day in size , then the 2nd last day they would be half the final size .
