The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Hey you Guys !
Don`t worry about your IQ.

God likes stupid and simple-minded people, otherwise he would not have made so many.

D'oh!

(And there's still 6 fish in that pond. Where does it say that the dead ones have been removed? In nature, the rotting carcasses of dead marine mammals provide nurture & sustenance for those that are alive..... It doesn't ask how many are left alive, just how many are left in the pond, no?)

(*lateral thinking, kiddiwinks...*)

Ee bah gum, lad.....it's a 'dog eat dog' world out there..! :lol: (Now, how does that old proverb go about those who like to 'blow their own trumpet', hmm?)

5 frogs are sitting on a log. 3 of them decide to jump. How many frogs are on the log?

Hi semi-expert.

You do not mention if it is a quantum jump,
in which case the frogs may still be on the log or not. ;)

Also, you do not mention where they jump to:
into the water, back on the log, on the shore?
This is relevant, because the angle of the thrust
of their legs on the log will be different.

And when exactly are we supposed to start counting?

Finally, are those real frogs you are talking about or French-Canadians? :lol:

Ribbit!

I forgot the possibility that there could be a frog-kissing princess in the vicinity. :)
Nothing is as simple as it seems... :lol:

If you started out using Windows XP.
Moved on to using Windows Vista.
Started using Windows 7.
Began to use Windows 10.
Tried using Mac OS X 10.
Used Mint, Ubuntu, Slackware Linux OS's.
Found a CD with several versions of Puppy Linux on it.

What operating system would you probably be using today on your computer?

You forgot Windows 8... but then I guess you wouldn't even have made it to Windows 10!

Point "b" is the (Efram) Cochrane Minimum Energy at about Warp 3.

BTW: this is how a real IQ test works!

How are we supposed to know that? Innate knowledge?
This is not a matter of intelligence, it's a matter of having a broad scientific culture
-- and a very good memory.

The corollary is that if you're not interested in science, that IQ test will label you "dumb".

Musher, you do realize that speaking and understanding different languages are worth a few points (IIRC about 15) on the test. Culture is a factor, memory is a factor, diversity is a factor, thinking outside the box is a factor.

The clue to the puzzle is "Warp Drive" from Star Trek, The Einstein-Esaki curve is from a tunnel diode (a Quantum-Mechanical semi-conductor invented by Esaki in the 1960's: Wiki --> Leo Esaki). Of course the points ascribed to this are ficticious as is Star Trek, and it is Efram Cochrane that broke the light-speed barrier in that fiction. What he found was that it takes less energy to travel faster than light up to a certain point... then energy needs to increase to gain velocity. (This last statement is currently hypothesized, but no one's done that yet if at all possible)

My taking of a real IQ test used this form of thinking to answer some apparently difficult questions. Like the taxi-cab problem or inscribing a nonagon within a circle using a geometry-compass and straight-edge.
