    Einstein's Intelligence Quiz ?

    so you're basically saying the solution is, "i don't know", if so, there would be fault in that, as not everyone is born with logic skills, a majority of people in fact, and would simply answer "i don't know" making them correct, but that would be more than 2%. And our assumption is only the...

    fair enough but they did say "With these 15 clues the problem is solvable. " key word being solvable, if we take it to your deep stage of thinking, it wouldn't be solvable.

    Graduate Finding the error in proof that all numbers are equal

    a = 1 b = 2 t = 3 5th line 1^2 -3(1) + 3^2/4 = 2^2 - 3(2) + 3^2/4 0.25 = 0.25 6th line (1-3/4)^2 = (2-3/4)^2 0.5625 = 1.5625 how is that wrong math?

    Einstein's Intelligence Quiz ?

    the question "These 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet" "who owns the fish" the German hence has to own a pet, and since by deducing the using the clues that the German does not have a pet i.e. he owns the fish.

    Graduate Finding the error in proof that all numbers are equal

    lets just argue for sakes here that it is absolute value because it really doesn't matter, if you put the -/+ in front of the numbers no way will it still equal each other. the magnitude is still different. ok might be a bit confusing, assume absolute for our case. the magnitudes should...
