"Logic test"

Have a go, it's only 4 questions. I got the first two wrong, and the second two correct.

However, I think the answers are wrong on the first two. I'll tell you why once a few of you have tried it out.

(The questions change slightly each time, by the way)

Got the first two wrong then the second two correct.

If you ask me though the first two questions didn't really explain themselves enough.

eerrrrr

*whispers so that nobody hears that im stupid*

Got none of them correct...... all 4 incorrect........

*cough*

eeerrrr

*runs*

Got them all right. Did the bike, pub, work surf-time and filing.

yeah, it's totally messed up. The % of correct answers on the questions like that one, is 13%.

On the other questions that are correctly phrased, it's 64%.

Very bad wording. I've a good mind to complain.

(Or not a good mind, judging from my score.)

And even if you take the certain out, then surely you have to click on them all, anyway?

Sounds a bit odd.

yeah, there are about 20 in total I think. they take 4 each time.

The ones I got wrong were along the lines of:

"There are four such cards below. You know for certain that each card has a letter on one side, and a number on the other. In light of this knowledge, please indicate, by ticking the appropriate box(es), which card or cards you definitely need to turn over, and only that or those cards, in order to determine whether the rule is broken in the case of any of these four cards."


Surely if you know for certain that each has a letter on one side and a number on the other, you don't need to turn over any of the cards?

Bah. I'm gonna complain about that one....

3 right (Surfing at Work, Circles and Colours and Pensions)

Different from mine...

Got three right (Bike, drink, drug dancing), but got the Vowels one wrong. Whoops. :0)

I got them all correct except the circle one...

I put circle and yellow... but was circle and red

Bah
