Please, please help retarded and sleepy person (got 19/30)

What equation do I need to solve 23rd?
+ Show Spoiler +
23. Four years ago, Jane was twice as old as Sam. Four years on from now, Sam will be 3/4 of Jane's age. How old is Jane now?


I know the answers now but it still pisses me off that I can't solve that one -_-


I didn't take the test but the point is you don't memorize a formula I imagine, you just look at it and figure it out logically

I picked a random even number, judging from the names they are probably young, she obviously can't be an odd number

jane is 20 in 1994
sam would be 10

jane would be 28
sam would be 18

3/4 of 28 is 21, way too high

then I did 10 (based on the difference between 18 and 21), too high

then I did 8 , which fit, now would be 1998 or 12

took like 60 seconds

LOL no you don't memorize a formula, you can make one up on the spot. This is like basic algebra.


lol +1


I know this is basic algebra because I remember doing similar exercises in high and iirc middle school too but this doesn't mean I'm not interested in formula too. I need things like this now because when I hear my professor saying and read fucking "complex" and "imaginary" numbers on a blackboard during a lecture I know I'm fucked i.e. I need shit like this?

How the fuck square of anything can be -1 -_- fml


a lot of people overthink this, all it is:
Definition: i = sqrt(-1)
then i^2 = -1 from the definition.

if you cared to know, they allow the square root operation to be closed on a set, namely the set of complex numbers. in other words, if you square root any complex number you will get a complex number, a fact that is not true of the reals (if you square root a real you dont necessarily get a real number)

you're thinking of numbers as actual RL objects but they're not.


Thank you for explaining it to me and sure I do care but this woman is like a machine gun X_x I think she writes faster on a blackboard than most of us in notepads, I just don't even have everything she wrote to read and try understand it. What's more I'm a total examples whore, I fully get something when I can imagine how it works, Redox reactions from chemistry are rare example (edit when I don't have to -_-)but it was 2 years ago I solved last ones anyway.

I asked 2 people from China about pictures they were making during yesterday's lecture. There's 43 pictures from 1,5h lecture o_o

Most exceptionally intelligent people I have known have become very lazy, since school is boring and pointless to them. His parents should definitely not put him in normal schools, he'll just end up wanting to fit in and turn emo or something.

The hardest part is probably allowing for his social development... I'm not even sure what method generally works best for this.

AS far as I know IQ measures your mental age in relation to your actual age. So this kid with an IQ of 160 would be as developed as an average 3.2year old kid. Which is impressive, but not really significant as these things tend to shift as people grow older.

Cool, but I'm pretty sure having an IQ as high as Einstein at age 2 isn't any more impressive than having Einstein's IQ at age 20-30. If anything, it's less impressive due to the extreme difficulty of testing someone that young.


Yeah you are absolutely correct. It's funny that the news doesn't mention the fact that the IQ of 160 at age of 2 is comparable to other 2 year olds. Also Einstein never took an IQ test but if he did and he's IQ was 160 it would be 160 to compared to people of his age

24/30, 16 minutes.
I messed up the one with the 7's + Show Spoiler +
double 7 in 77 god how stupid

All the other false answers were in those English language questions. Didn't try too hard on those, or else I could have used my 30 minutes to the last second. I got most of my vocabulary from games and the internet. My English teachers sucked.

Also, those tests are so uncreative. powers of 2 and 3, primes, fibonacci numbers, random image patterns... I haven't exactly done a lot of these tests, but I really wasn't impressed by their set of questions.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

I agree that going to mensa is a mistake for the parents. They should be affiliating themselves with organizations and people who focus on fostering achievement, not one that sees intelligence in itself as something noteworthy.

Smart kids get told that they're smart, and tend to develop this attitude that they'll be successful just because they're smart. Most "geniuses" throughout history weren't the best at what they did because they were so much more gifted than everyone else, but because they worked 5x harder than everyone else.

Yeah, it's more about the work you put in than anything else. Being smart helps though.

It bothers me when people assume that because a kid is smart, he'll automatically be socially retarded, fail at life, and commit suicide. Are people that scared of smart kids?
May the BeSt man win.
