Are you the world's smartest person?
 
Since my riddle thread died, this could be interesting.

http://www.highiqsociety.org/wsp_challenge.php

give it a shot, see how many you can get!

I currently have completely 10 of them. First person to get #17 gets a cookie.

A couple of them are actually similar to questions i've asked here before XD

So how do you know when you got one right?

If you're smart you'd know.

Or if you're not smart you could just wait until november 1st to see the answers.

<_>

Check your solutions over. That should make sense XD

I'm pretty sure I can get a few more of them, but lol # 17.

Re: Are you the world's smartest person?
 
Some of these are extremely easy.

Some of these are just gay sequence puzzles. I can't stand gay sequence puzzles.

#17 is just... whatever.

Re: Are you the world's smartest person?
 
I just got another one of them. Yea, some of them arn't too hard, some really don't make any sense.

A couple of them can be solved with simple sequence skills rather than actually figuring it out lmao

I'm attempting this right now... I'll tell you what I think in about... 5 days?

I don't even get what to do on 17. They need instructions ;/. 17 could be name the colors for all I know :s.

Re: Are you the world's smartest person?
 
Yes. Exactly why I hate questions like that.

Now, the idea is that once you come up with a clever way of interpreting it, every part of the diagram makes perfect sense. But arriving at that interpretation? Guesswork. No straightforward approach.

Re: Are you the world's smartest person?
 
Number 1 was kinda confusing, imo. But I did it, anyways. Yeah, 17's a biatch

Re: Are you the world's smartest person?
 
i thnk i got 3.

Re: Are you the world's smartest person?
 
25 was easy, so is 23

Reach 07-18-2006 06:38 PM

Re: Are you the world's smartest person?
 
I didn't get 25 yet, but 21,22 and 23 are probably some of the easier questions.

15 is the best question there. Very good solution.

Currently have 12 complete but the ones that are NOT based on mathematics or logic are proving to be a challenge for me.

The answer to #17 is two letters.



Here is a hint, no I haven't figured it out, I don't know if I'm going to bother doing this test or not.

Did a bit of research, apparently the inside of the cover of X&Y has an alphabet in colors, which would probably deceipher the code of this question very easily.

I think I've found where you can get the inside of the cover scans

Edit: I found the cover scans: http://www.insomniac.utvinternet.com/xy6.jpg

I still can't make sense of it, they don't seem to be the exact same, maybe I'm wrong about it just being a few letters. Riddles and puzzles are ok... I'm going to try some of them at least.

Edit: I think I am lol some of these look intriguing, so far I have 2-3 really easy ones.

24 looks super fun 8)

Most of the ones that look "hard" are more irritating or a boring process of elimination rather than hard. I mean, maybe for some people the answer jumps out at them (like one of the problems I drew out then laughed when I realized it was much easier than I thought (unless I got it wrong))

I don't agree with your interpretation that the answer should be 2 letters. Also, remember that these questions are culturally fair.

Reach you must have not even tried 25 yet.

I don't agree it should be 2 letters either, I imagine its more than 2 letters now.

The question is not culturally fair, it definitely refers to the album X&Y, considering the main singer of Coldplay has the last name Martin.

25 was REALLY easy, assuming I got it right.

17 is 4 of the symbols in the coverart... assuming that is what they are looking for. *shrugs*

Re: Are you the world's smartest person?
 
17 is quite easy after seeing Hr2's post.
At least, that's by far the most logical thing I've seen or though of yet.

That makes like ten or so for me. Some of them are really easy and others are incredibly hard. :/

Hr2 07-19-2006 04:11 AM

Re: Are you the world's smartest person?
 
17 is making me think too hard and I think I'm deluding myself. I don't know what our policy on giving speculations is, but I'll try to keep it as vague as possible.

So this code X&Y is in is 5-bit code, but the code on the picture is NOT 5-bit code, it looks more like 4-bit or 8-bit. This is what confuses me. There are so many implications of this too, jeez it could be numbers or letters.

Looking at some of these there are a lot which seem ridiculously easy, so easy that I'm tempted to believe my first impulses are wrong because there is no logic behind them other than history and cultural knowledge.
