[Discussion] How intelligent are you?

[Tingun]

The number does not have to be integer . I mean the lowest man can be .0000001 .

Knowledge is too subjective and equally relative be compared and summated in a quantitative medium.

 

[Itαchi Uchihα]

I would like to think that I'm pretty intelligent.. Not sure what number I'd rate myself.

 

[Nebula]

Oh I am looking for people like you . (If you are serious)

If you think you are the smartest then solve this (But don't take too long)...

There are two log . Each of them takes exactly 1 hours to burn if you set fire one side of the log . But remember burning log is not proportion to time . I mean may be first half will burn less than a minute and other half will take 59 minutes to burn . Now using these two log and a match how can you measure 15 minutes ?

Your grammar is a solid 3.

 

[its a plot]

Smart enough to know where to post this thread....just saying.

I would count the seconds till i get to 15 min (done)

Didn't realize that number was between one and ten.

Most numbers between one and ten are greater than one, infact they all are.

most of the people saying they are 10+ are obviously dumb as fuck lol

Oh geez just pick me already.

not gonna even bother answering how "smart i am" when the comparisons your marking are to people of notable IQ scores 160 200 300 3433453940594 IQ does not make you smart it just gauges your ability to learn, smart for me is someone who already knows a lot regardless if they have to read a book 3 times to know it or glance at it and know it if a guy with an IQ of 100 reads a book once and then a guy with an IQ of 170 doesn't read that book. then the iq 100 guy is smarter on that subject so yeah.

You can consider that smart . But I don't . I am wanting to know about your ability to learn quickly . If you do not want to call that smart call whatever you want . But by your scale how can we measure it ? Definition of knowledge differs from place to place and time to time . By you how can you compare a caveman's smartness with a chemist ? So learning ability (whatever sector) is what i am calling smartness . If you don't agree then don't call it smart . Call it aaaaaa(made up word).

Take both logs, light the first at both ends, light the second at one end.

When the first is done 30 minutes will have passed(since each flame burns the wood at the same speed burning from both ends should divide total time by two) and the second log will have 30 minutes left. (Since we know 30 minutes have passed and it takes one hour with one flame)

Since it now only has 30 minutes left for one end, light the other end of the second log and it will burn for 15 minutes. (Since burning it with two flames should once again cut the time, 30 minutes , in half)

Excuse my spelling atm.

I'm an underachiever. When I was little, I was considered a genius by many, but I was too lazy.

Oh . sorry sorry . My bad . Then the lowest score can be 1.00000001 . Now are we okay ?

when the first is done 30 minutes will have passed and the second log will have 30 minutes left.
Since it now only has 30 minutes left for one end, light the other end of log 2 and it will burn for 15 minutes.

Good good .(If you didn't get help from outside or knew the answer) Now another one .

There are 20 box of match . Each contains 20 sticks . Each of the sticks weights 10 gram . Now there is one box in which each of the stick weights 9 gram . By measuring weight once figure out which box .

Yes...and this is why i know you are actually smart.... genius level individuals are often bored by things easily because its not challenging enough for them. they tend to be 'lazy' due to this. though its not laziness, its a lack of trying due to the fact the task is deemed "not worthy" enough to complete given the level of energy output required to complete it. you would much rather try and complete something more complex than homework because the ends justify the means as far as what got done.

I can make you a Math teacher in IT. (if you want)

You just summed up my whole life. /thread

Smart enough to get into medical school and get on Jeopardy.

 

[Conspirator.]

It's impossible for me to judge myself a 100% accurately, but I am stronger in some areas than others. From an academic standpoint: I might sound arrogant in saying this, but I think it's fair to say from a maths/science perspective, I would be in the 9-10 region. However, from a language and humanities standpoint, I would probably be in the 4-6 region.

There's also stuff like emotional intelligence, spatial awareness,logical reasoning etc that are hard to judge. An IQ test is not the only litmus test in determining ones intelligence.(in fact it's incomplete).

Then solve this ...

there are twelve marbles . Everyone of them has same weight except one . That one has either more or less weight . Now measuring with beam balance three times determine which one is exceptional and how ?
