Just How Smart Are You?

Hmmm, how smart am I? |
We haven't had a fun quiz for a while, so we're due. This one is purely for fun and will only take a minute to complete (ok, maybe 2 minutes for my brother) and I found it at the All The Tests site.
1: Do they have a 4th of July in England?
Yes No
2: How many birthdays does the average man have?
1 66 72
3: Some months have 31 days; how many have 28?
12 1 6
4: How many outs are there in an inning?
2 3 6
5: Is it legal for a man in California to marry his widow's sister?
Yes No
6: Divide 30 by 1/2 and add 10. What is the answer?
25 70 35
7: If there are 3 apples and you take away 2, how many do you have?
1 2 3
8: A doctor gives you three pills telling you to take one every half hour. How many minutes would the pills last?
60 90 120
9: A farmer has 17 sheep, and all but 9 die. How many are left?
17 8 9
10: How many animals of each sex did Moses take on the ark?
1000 499 0
11: How many two cent stamps are there in a dozen?
6 9 12
I love these kinds of tests.
Here are the answers for the weak-minded:
Q. Is there a Fourth of July in England?
A. Yes, it comes after the third of July!
Q. How many birthdays does the average man have?
A. 1 - Just one!
Q. Some months have 31 days; how many have 28?
A. 12, all of them!
Q. How many outs are there in an inning?
A. 6, three per side!
Q. Is it legal for a man in California to marry his widow's sister?
A. No - because he is dead!
Q. Divide 30 by 1/2 and add 10. What is the answer?
A. 70, (30 divided by 1/2 equals 60! Takes some thinking.....
Q. If there are 3 apples and you take away 2, how many do you have?
A. 2, you took them, remember?
Q. A doctor gives you three pills telling you to take one every half hour. How many minutes would the pills last?
A. 60 - Start with the 1st pill, 30 minutes later take the 2nd, then 30 minutes for the 3rd.
Q. A farmer has 17 sheep, and all but 9 die. How many are left?
A. 9
Q. How many animals of each sex did Moses take on the ark?
A. 0. Moses didn't have an ark, Noah did!
Q. How many two cent stamps are there in a dozen?
A. 12. There are twelve 2 cent stamps in a dozen!
Well, how did you do? Don't be shy...share. I got one wrong (divide 30 by 1/2) and I really thought about that one too! But then, like I said, I love these tests.
Bottom Line: Your fun break is over...back to work.

Thanks for the morning wake up, Barbara!!! I got them all right, but I did have to think twice about the widow one--only because it said "Legal in California", LOL!!! Guess that means I'm awake enough to get to work....

The Moses one stumped me. LOL! Here's one for you: If a couple gets divorced in Alabama does that mean they're still brother and sister?

Sad to say I got 3 wrong. Fun quiz, though. I'll have to test my 14yr old when he gets home from school.

I missed the math and the California law one. It just goes to show how every word counts.

The 30 one got me, too, Barbara. So did the pill one (I forgot that you take one immediately - at "zero minutes"). D'oh! thanks for the laugh. (And I have a BIG REUNION coming up too -- see myblog) Clea www.cleasimon.com

OMG, I got all, but one of the questions wrong! I totally over thought the questions, and answered with what I thought was the obvious. D'oh! Great post Barbara.

I missed 2 of them Barb...I didn't allow SIX outs for an inning, as I wasn't thinking top and bottom of the inning and I so didn't see the word "Moses"..my mind "saw" the word Noah right away, lol...this was fun.

Math must be my weak point, because I got the 70 wrong and the stamps wrong. Two wrong isn't bad.
