I can only imagine what this guy was on when he decided to make this test. If you are ever bored in class, or otherwise bored in general, I would recommend solving this with only your mind, no external aids allowed. No bookkeeping of possibilities via paper, notepad, or anything.

The CS major in you might try to solve this by alternative means though...

Yea that's right. Drunk men work there.

Step 1) Find nearby table, wall, or hard surface

Step 2) Slam head/face into said surface vigorously and repeatedly

Step 3) Profit???

I'm actually all for logic games. I'll have to give this one an honest shot once I have the time.

It's sorta like a scavenger hunt, you start at the end(the last question) and have to work your way back from there.

Make sure you're using an exceptional barometer though!

Question 20 doesn't make sense, and doesn't reference anything else, so uh, yea this looks silly.

10+16 don't seem solvable either. Unless I'm missing something. The hell.

Edit: nvm I'm dumb.

Edit 2: Question 20 makes sense if you say that "Standardized test is to intelligence as barometer is to anything BUT it's original purpose", which seems what the author implies. =D

Edit 3: Now Q2 really gives me headaches. Doesn't accept the solution which I THINK is the solution as correct. I think the trick lies in the "only" part.

Edit 4: @OP: Is this thing solvable? -.- ... Kinda want to know before I go insane over it.

Edit 5: JESUS CHRIST HIS ENTIRE ARCHIVE IS FULL OF SIMILAR STUFF.

Edit 6: http://www.drunkmenworkhere.org/80 ... this one was made for starcrafters. Also I think I never editted a post this often before. -.-v

Got it! :D

I'd say it took about 1 minute less than it takes for me to start bashing my head against my keyboard.

Solved it, pretty fun.

Yep, if it says "only", you have to have the entire thing solved for it to accept your answer. Didn't understand that at first either.

Other things reference #20 though. As for the answer to #20, well, that's been commented on already xD

Yea it checks the answers based on whether everything references each other correctly. Just so you can't just blindly rampage through answers a through e for each question and get the answer that way
