Ah of course! Very smart bicycletree!

Difficult "IQ" test This is a very interesting IQ test. You are basically ranked against all the others who also took the test. There are 20 questions total, but it calculates your percentile as you go. I answered all 20 this afternoon and got 94th percentile, answering 13 of the 20...

Here was my answer: The trains are carrying cargo that easily moves around. The train that stopped abruptly caused all the cargo to shift to the front of the cars. The train that stopped slowly kept even cargo. Now, the same idea: when the first train starts up the engine doesn't have to...

That game rules. I beat it all on normal mode, then on spinning mode racing against a friend. Fun stuff.

Here's how I did it. Each lily pad has a number 1 to 7. So click the following frogs: 356421357642354 The main key in a puzzle like this is to get them to alternate colors. If you get two of the same color together you are stuck.

You'll probably find this "game" really boring, but I think it's fun. Start with 1, then keep doubling the number in your head until you get too high to continue. If you have at least three people you can play this other "game" - Have a neutral person randomly pick two 4-digit numbers. Of...

Took me about 30 minutes. I was writing down the numbers and calculating things until I re-read the paragraph below it, then I got it immediately.

is it possible, for example, for both player 1 and player 2 to shoot at player 3?

I think you're right msmith

Yes there is no current evidence that space or time are quantized. We don't currently know how to test it even I don't think. But when someone finally invents a theory of quantum gravity it seems to me space-time will have to be quantized. If space-time isn't quantized then all these people...

For the first question: remember that f=ma. You tried to find a force by multiplying .14kg by 35m/s, which is mass times velocity, not mass times acceleration. To do f=ma you need to know the mass and the acceleration the ball undergoes. You already know the mass because it's explicity...

Space is quantized so eventually it gets to the point where it can't go halfway any more and has to "make the leap"

I scored a 145 which is about average for how I do on these online type things.

If you ask all three gods one question, does that count as asking one question or three?

yes, I believe so
