This test has 50 year history. It was also taken by Bill Gates, he only got three right. Lets see how good are you: 01. Does England have July Fourth (American Independence Day)? 02. How many birthdays does a person have in a lifetime? 03. Some month has 31 days, others have 30 days, how many month have 28 days? 04. How many people goes out every round in baseball games? 05. Can a man marry the sister of his widow legally in California? 06. What’s 30 divided by 1 over 2 then plus 10? 07. There are Three apples on the table, you pick two up, how many apples are left? 08. How long time would it take you to eat three pills if you eat one pill every 30 min? 09. I have 17 sheep, all but 9 are dead, how many sheep do I have? 10. How many animals of each kind were selected to the Morshes' ark? 11. How many stamps are in a dozen of 3 dollar stamps. |

Everybody has a July 4th, even if they don't celebrate American Independence. You're only born once. All of them have at least 28 days. I have no clue what you're asking Not unless dead people can marry. This has lots of answers because you used no punctuation. 70 is the best. Eh... I'm sure this is wordplay too. Three I guess. An hour. Eh, you still have all the sheep. But you have 9 live ones. The who? Are you trying to spell Moses? He had no Ark. A dozen :huh: |

There are two colours in my head.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

01. Does England have July Fourth (American Independence Day)? They have the date of the fourth of July, but they don't necessarily celebrate Independance Day 02. How many birthdays does a person have in a lifetime? One birthdate 03. Some month has 31 days, others have 30 days, how many month have 28 days? 12 04. How many people goes out every round in baseball games? You expect me to know stuff about baseball? How does that constitute intelligence? I know as much about baseball as I know how to explain the scoring system in tennis - which is extremely random. 05. Can a man marry the sister of his widow legally in California? No 06. What’s 30 divided by 1 over 2 then plus 10? If you mean (30/1)/2 + 10, the answer is 25. If you mean 30/(1/2) + 10, the answer would be 70. It isn't really possible to tell which of the two was intended. 07. There are Three apples on the table, you pick two up, how many apples are left? There are still three apples. 08. How long time would it take you to eat three pills if you eat one pill every 30 min? Assuming that it takes you 0 seconds to take each pill, it would take you one hour. 09. I have 17 sheep, all but 9 are dead, how many sheep do I have? 17 (only 9 are alive) 10. How many animals of each kind were selected to the Morshes' ark? Morshes' ark? I thought it was Noahs' ark where there were 2. 11. How many stamps are in a dozen of 3 dollar stamps. 12 |

thats why the answer's 0 ![]() and the baseball one, i didnt get that correct either, me not baseball person either....i just translated the questions and posted them here. the answer to the baseball question is 6...i assume thats because theres 6 players each round..and every player gets three strikes, or else the round doesnt end. |

1) Yes, they dont celebrate anything, but they have one. 2) 1, you are born only once. 3) All of them, as the question does not specify "Only 28" 4) Baseball games have innings, not rounds 5) Dead men cant marry 6) 70 (30 divided by .5 (1 divided by 2) equals 60 plus 10 equals 70. 7) 1 (Had the question asked "how many do you have it would be 2) 8) 1 hour. 1 pill immediately, one pill in 30 minutes and another pill in an hour 9) 17 (The question does not specify living sheep, if so it is 9. If dead it is 8) 10) Who the hell is Morsh? Noah took the animals on the ark. 11) 12 |

1) Yes, but no holidays on that day. 2) Once. 3) 12, due to all months having 28+ days. 4) 3 (if you go technical then none, as innings are played in baseball not rounds) 5) bah just re-read the question...it's basically saying can you marry when you're dead... 6) [30/(1/2)]+10 = 60 + 10 = 70 7) 3. Doesn't specify if you had picked up the apples from the table. 8) 3*30mins = 90mins for 3 pills (Or, if you want to get all technical, none due to you technically not 'eating' pills, but rather swallow them) 9) 9 sheepS left 10) 2. Male and Female (OR, none if you didn't mean that as a typo) 11) 12 If there are tricky stuff about this test, then this has no use as the answers are basic interpretation of the author of this test. EDIT: This whole test is manipulating the wording to confuse and stump readers. |

In baseball one inning is completed with 6 outs. The first team gets 3 outs, and it becomes bottom of the 4th for example. The next team gets 3 outs it becomes the top of the 5th. |
