Brain Teaser of the week!

Re: Brain Teaser of the week!

God dammit. #2 is making me want to kill things. I got everything else, including last week's questions, but this just isn't coming to me :<

Oh well, we will see what four hours of LSAT class will do for that tonight (my two hour Game Theory class gave birth to the complete solution to #1 earlier today).

Re: Brain Teaser of the week!

See.

Us smart people hate #2.

We think about it in so many ways that the stupid riddle answer just isn't apparent.

I have 1 and 3 thanks to being able to mentally reword the problem. The bonus is still something I don't care for, and I still cannot get #2.

#1 took like a minute of thought.

Re: Brain Teaser of the week!

Kefit nailed everything except #2. I find it funny that he can't get them XD

Lots of people have gotten #1. However, noones scored a perfect score yet (drummerlsu still leads).

Re: Brain Teaser of the week!

I think I got #1 and #3 without much trouble, but 1 always makes me worry that I might be missing a solution (how can you really be certain that you're done once you think you are?).

Similar problems as others with #2. I'm just not so intuitive with number puzzles, which is a problem on the bonus as well (although I haven't yet given too much thought to that one).

=(

But like Reach said, we have a week. I'm going to let these things simmer in my brain for a little while instead of stressing about it now.

Re: Brain Teaser of the week!

One thing that's annoying me about this week is it's gone from, "How do you solve this?" to "Can you solve this? If so, in how many ways?"

It's a pain and leaves you with tons of doubt. I doubt myself even when I'm 95% sure I'm right.

EDIT: I got #1 wrong and I think I know why. -.-

#1 was so easy I laughed at the "medium" part.

#2 looks hard, I'll save that for last.

#3 I have, I think...

The bonus one I could do if I thought about it but I am too lazy at the moment to apply myself.

Re: Brain Teaser of the week!

Uhh Izzy, don't post your answer... >_> edit ASAP.

Also for #1, I think you should have to give Reach a pic of the puzzle with your divisions drawn in, to show that you didn't just guess a number arbitrarily.

Re: Brain Teaser of the week!

Yea but he never said so.

[jamuko]

Re: Brain Teaser of the week!

Never said what? Not to post answers?

There will be NO SPOILERS OR ANSWERS posted here. You can discuss the problems or whatever, but try not to post hints and such.

Re: Brain Teaser of the week!

Nonono. The part about giving him the pictures of the what you did to get your number of ways it can be divided. He never said that.

[jamuko]

Re: Brain Teaser of the week!

Ohh. Of course he didn't, it was my own idea that I was suggesting. :P Sorry, I wasn't speaking to you personally if that's what you thought.

Re: Brain Teaser of the week!

#1 was so easy I laughed at the "medium" part.

I will laugh if you get it wrong. xD

Re: Brain Teaser of the week!

Hey Reach.... if drummerlsu didn't get it perfect (as you said nobody got it perfect), then how is he ahead of me? As I have the most possible points w/o getting a perfect score. Right?
