Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a specific logic test question from an IQ building test. Participants are seeking assistance in solving the problem presented in the test, which involves reasoning about groups of balls and their arrangement.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • One participant shares a link to the logic test question and expresses difficulty in solving it, requesting help and explanations for potential answers.
  • Subsequent posts indicate ongoing frustration and a lack of responses, highlighting a sense of urgency for assistance.
  • Another participant proposes a method involving matching balls from different groups based on their positions, suggesting a systematic approach to eliminate options and arrive at a solution.
  • A later reply expresses gratitude for the proposed method, indicating that it was not previously considered by them.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on the solution to the logic test question, as participants are still seeking answers and clarification. Multiple viewpoints on how to approach the problem are present, but no definitive resolution has been reached.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks detailed explanations of the logic test question itself, which may limit understanding of the proposed solutions. Additionally, the reasoning behind the suggested method is not fully elaborated, leaving some assumptions unexamined.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in logic puzzles, IQ tests, or those seeking collaborative problem-solving approaches may find this discussion relevant.

Still haven't figured it out. Does anyone have an idea?
 
Has no one else figured this out yet? :surprise:

There must be an answer! Someone, please help!
 
There are 2 groups with 10 balls and one group with 20 balls (once you find the missing 4). In the group of 20 look at the first ball at the top and the first ball at the bottom (pink and blue), match that with a pink and blue (same positions) in the first group of 10.

Then go to the next two balls in the group of 20 and match them with the second group of 10.

Keep alternating until you eliminate all but the last 4, use these to complete the problem.
 
Thanks! I would of never guessed that.
