"Hi Mike"
re. Intelligence Test #2
3.What is the minimum number of active baseball players on the field during any part of an inning?
10 (9 fielders plus one batter)???
How about with bases loaded and batter up. 12 ???
Also if Billy Martin was coaching it could be 13. He was pretty ACTIVE on the field.
I know, he is not a "player".
Like your site, nice work. Thanks, Steve.

oh boy my co worker told me bout this site boy i thanked him

great site ,i found it accidently,2 thumbs up.whats yr iq?mike!!!!

Not that you havent heard it 500 times already, but hte third pill on consumption proceeds to last for 30 minutes. The answer is 90 minutes, not 60.

Hi Mike,
I'm unsure how I found your site but I'm glad I did. Very amusing and informative. I've sent the link to your computer page to a brilliant but techo challenged friend, if he can't figure it out with your detailed instructions he needs to retire his laptop! I have given away 2 computers to older folks but wasn't aware that some isp's offered lower rates for seniors. If I run into a senior who wants access I'll be sure to look around. The next time I upgrade my laptop I'm going to give one of the old ones - I have two <sigh> I'm geekish what can I say? to a senior with a list of free hotspots, there are several in our area.

Thanks for a great site, I've sent the link to my mailing list and am going to post it on the boards where I chat.

hi!!! your so cute

Add us some more games on the non-arcade page. We can all get to here at work and some upated games that play here would rock!

ok so this site is cool one thing is beacuse you can get it at school haha. my school has most everything elses blocked except for this haha .it also has funn games!!!!m

Hello, and thanks for this "out-of-the-box" thinking reminder. I only read the first guestbook page and your responses, so my points might have been addressed subsequently,

#1 You must have corrected "Fourth" to read "4th" to overcome the capitalization.

#2 You must have corrected "birthdays" to read "birth days".

#4 Adding the phrase "In baseball" to the question would be more fair to those unfamiliar with the game.

#5 I agree that there would not be a law against a dead person marrying someone presumably still alive. Polygamy is not in play here, and I'm fairly certain the law reads that the two betrothed must sign for a marriage license and pass a blood test prior to the ceremony.

#6 Elementary school arithmetice taught me to "invert and multiply" when you divide by a fraction.

#8 Having a medical background, I feel the question is ambiguous. Literally, I agree that the quesion is when the last pill is taken. But when you are taking medicine, it's the EFFECT in the body that persists.

#9 I really don't see how the word "had" affects the outcome. The key word is "die".

I spent entirely too much time on this test, and intend to spend a lot more time on your website. Thanks for providing such a high degree of educational entertainment & tech knowledge.

hi...i think the quizzes are really fun...i cant believe how dumb i am...lol

... and Thirdly you ask: "A doctor gives you three pills telling you to take one every half hour. How many minutes would the pills last?" Your answer of 60 mins is the obvious unreflective answer, but one that I rejected on the grounds that the question must be more devious than this and that the terms of the question are basically unclear.

What is meant by "how long the pills last". The interval between the instants when the first is placed in the hand and when the third leaves the hand (or the mouth, or the aeophagus, or the stomach)? This interpretation gives us our facile 60min

But maybe what we need to know is "how long an individual pill "lasts"? If this is taken to be the time for which it is chemically active, then we could infer that this is the interval between prescribed doses - 30min - in which case "how long three pills last" might be 3 x 30 = 90min.

But in the end I could not answer confidently and had to put "don't know".

All good fun, but as for the claim this test has been proved to be an accurate indicator of intelligence - I don't think so. What I would accept is that it accurately (but circularly and uselessly) predicts an ability to think like those who set the test and who thus defined the "intelligence" to be tested for!

Secondly you ask if it is *legal* in California for a man to marry his widow's sister. Obviously he has died, and thus, we assume, is in practice in no position to exercise any legal rights. But does the law take a view on the claims of spiritualism, or deny the possibility of resurrecting personal identity by any possible scientific or magical means, or specifically exclude civil rights (and by implication responsibilities also) from resurrected persons? To answer No ("correctly" according to the test) would imply that the law in Californian does take such a position and forbids a person who is legally dead (and legal death is sufficient to legally anul an existing marriage and confer legal widowhood upon his spouse) from entering into a marriage contract. I have no idea whether or not such a law constructively exists, but the bizzare nature of the scenario suggests to me that it's unlikely. TBC....

Enjoyed the intelligence test #1, Mike, but note a couple of anomalies.

Until reading this guest book I had no idea that "innings" and "outs" referred to the rules of baseball. Believe it or not baseball is not big in Scotland, or in most of the rest of the world.

(I recall a similar parochialism in an Eysenck IQ test many years ago where correctly answering an odd-one-out question relied on "knowing" that a Viscount was a classic car. To me it was a classic aircraft, so my answer was incorrect. Knowing both would simply have rendered the quesation unanswerable. Such arbitrary things have no place in a test of intelligence.) TBC....

cool website but why is there so much stuff about computers?

You have a typo on Quiz #3 Question #4 your answer states None the farmer "had".
No where in the question is "had". It states the farmer "has" which makes the answer 15 unless I'm a complete dumb ass which I may be.

i think this website is great, the error reports are so funny, made me laugh x keep up the good work ;D

I thought the first classic quizz was great, the second was pretty good, but I lost interest during the third. The hair splitting manner of the questions irritated me, such as
- the 'typo' in question 1,
- the farmer HAD 20 ponies, so the correct answer is that he now has none,
- the wifes sister IS the husbands widow because they are polygamists?????? Is that legal in the US, land of the legislated?

Hey Mike,

fun site. I enjoyed.

Intelligence test is wrong in some spots.

There is no Fourth of July in the UK. You capitalised it, thus indiating not just an ordinary day. Further more, you showed that by not capitalising the answer.

A birthday is different from a "Birth Day", so he does have more than one.

Hardly anyone plays Baseball, even though it is called the World Series

Hey Mike! I got here through stumble, to the intelligence test actually...I believe one of your answers is wrong! (or at least worded incorrectly!):



6.Divide 30 by 1/2 and add 10. What is the answer?

you gave the answer as being 70. The real answer to this question would be 25:
30 % 1/2
= 30/1 % 1/2
= 15/1 % 1/1
= 15 % 1
= 15
and then add 10
15+10=25

Thats all!! Bye for now!
