@jona how to crack prodev's puzzle?

never heard of it

 

[rubyjackass]

probability calculation............had that in maths in 8th standard

Not that one. I got that. I am asking abt post 21

 

[prodevelopment]

Not that one. I got that. I am asking abt post 21

Simple, it's counting.

1 = One 1 = 11
11 = Two 1's = 21
21 = One 2 one 1 = 1211

and so on

Einstien wanna be its 1806

In India we dont care abt questions or methods..we need only the answer to get full marks in exams..

Here's another one

Try to solve this puzzle.
Apparently only people with an IQ over 120 are able to figure it out ...
Keep your brain active and think about it:
If...
2 + 3 = 10
7 + 2 = 63
6 + 5 = 66
8 + 4 = 96
Then:
9 + 7 = ????

9 * (9+7) --> do the math....

come on...

I don't know about the IQ tests at all....
let me ask you (jonasad) one thing....
Is it true that people who solve this are having an IQ above 120 ?
I can't believe it... I thought IQ tests are something great (it may be that in this one and the rest of questions in this forum I got lucky), and they make your brain work like anything...

This question really belongs to that above 120 category ?
Even some kid could solve this if it simply sits and observes the pattern...

Guys tell me one thing what is the rationale behind this IQ measurement ?

W/O knowledge the logic is not much meaningful.

So why do people measure IQ instead of knowledge ?

Next Puzzle:

Find the next in the series:

1,11,1211,111221,?,.....

no googling

wow, i solved everything in a few secs except this one.

and btw, i am not an engineer, but i solved the 1,2,6,42,1806 one in about 45 secs. had to use a calculator though

For me, finding 6 is more difficult than finding C and N.
The lines including C and N is shorter than other lines, so just focus on one line is OK, they are easy to be found than 6.

Well since i solved it and i believe that my IQ is above 120 so hell yeah its true

knowledge can be achieved over time.
IQ is inborn; a calculation of how quick your brain can actually pick up knowledge

 

[rubyjackass]

Simple, it's counting.

1 = One 1 = 11
11 = Two 1's = 21
21 = One 2 one 1 = 1211

and so on

y did u miss 21 then?

 

[prodevelopment]

y did u miss 21 then?

Did I? Boy, is my face red.

Which brings me to my next question. Johnasad, how did you solve it if the question itself was wrong?? You googled it, didn't you?

Another one

This is a mathematical challenge, and it's been said that:

* If you're an engineer, you should be able to solve it in (under) three minutes,
* if you're an architect, in three hours ;
* if you're a doctor, in six hours ;
* if you're an accountant, in three months and
* If you're a lawyer, probably never.

What is the missing number in this logical series?

1, 2, 6, 42, 1806, ____???

3263442

I was surprised to figure that out myself since I'm bad with maths.

Profession? Well I belong to a Software Development background.

 

[Awesome]

Simple .....3263442 ...(1804*1804 + 1804)

Engineers rock.!!!!!

Thats not how I did it, although your way looks better

1, 2, 6, 42, 1806, 3263442

(1 + 2) x 2 = 6
(1 + 6) x 6 = 42
(1 + 42) x 42 = 1806
(1 + 1806) x 1806 = 3263442

Well the plus one ensures we're both crunching the same numbers.

Knowledge can be achieved over time, yes it is true and knowledge shows the amout of hardwork one has put.

IQ is not inborn, I differ from your point of view. IQ comes by practice of solving the problems.

wow finally a person from Pakistan and a person from India are differing on a point which need not call for arms.
