AI Thread Summary
A user seeks assistance with a challenging logic/IQ test question, expressing frustration after spending significant time on it without success. They provide a link to the test and request help on how to arrive at the correct answer. Another participant offers a solution involving two groups of 10 balls and one group of 20 balls. The suggested method involves comparing the positions of colored balls in the groups to identify the missing four balls. This approach emphasizes systematic elimination and matching to solve the problem effectively.

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.
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
