A little update. I will be reading for my final exams for a month (until 05.06), so I will stay away from the channel until i'm done with my exams for this semester. In June and throughout my summer vacation i will probably start posting more videos since no university classes. If you have a potential video idea or some IQ test you want me to check out , send me a direct message or leave a comment :) The audio in the video got a bit bad. After a few hours of editing the video my program crashed and the save file got corrupted. Had to restart the entire thing. Also in the last 10 puzzles there was some construction work outside. After running noise reduction to remove the construction noise from the audio, there is just no bass left and the audio was too loud in some parts because i thought speaking louder would make it unnoticeable. Hopefully you can at least understand the audio. Hope you are all staying happy and safe during the social distancing
@Sahel Khosh Hal A Person - I have not officially been tested. I live in Norway, so I might try to take an official Mensa Norway IQ test in the future. If i ever do, I will definitely make a video about it (Don't know if you allowed legally to talk about the official puzzles?). I'm not sure if I would want to be a part of the Mensa Society even if I got invited. Have two friends who are a part of it and i'm pretty sure it's mostly social gatherings and such. I think the best way to meet new people is through some common interest. That way we already have in some common. Who i meet in the Mensa Norway gatherings would just be random besides that we both scored a sufficiently high on the IQ test. If I became a part of Mensa Norway it would be interesting to interview different people who are a part of it and ask about their thoughts about IQ, what they do in life, their education,... I'm really curious what the people who are a part of it think about IQ. Also if there would be a noticeable correlation between scoring high IQ and having a higher education/some sort of "fancy job". That's about every thought I have had around getting an official test :P
@@earthorbit7775 Hey, I was searching after it and all i could find was this: www.reddit.com/r/mensa/comments/c53l1k/can_the_jcti_iq_test_still_be_found_online/erzq7kk/ If you check in the comments you can find and old test named JCTI. Don't know what test you specifically referred to, was it this one?
this is why iq tests suck. i found the answer for the 34th question in about 15 seconds which u say is the correct answer. but it was completely an accident.i mean i know im no genius but idiots who judge based on iq tests might think i am.
@@ssaccount8090 But if you pick the correct answer by random chance then you will on average answer correctly every 6 answers which will give you a low score. Also I agree with you its dumb to judge people based on IQ score, there are so many more things that are important when it comes to your brain.
Puzzle #33: B or C? Blue line: The right-> side of Top right picture3, equals left side rotated 180 degrees. Green line : The left side picture 4 and 7. And from picture 4 to 7 left side of Top left picture1, equals left side rotated 180 degrees gives answer C. Red line: following green line procedure: The left
You may have been distracted by his explanation, and the lines he drew. There are three shapes manipulated in two different ways, making nine in total. There are just two rules to look for, and both begin with a split down the centre line, top to bottom. One rule is where after the split the shape is flipped or mirrored, you now have six shapes. Second rule, after taking the original shape, is where you split it down the centre and only the right side is moved, being rotated 180 degrees on its own axis, you now have nine shapes. So therefore, the U shape (in box six, say), which already has the mirror flip (in the top left number 1 box) needs to have just the right side rotated180 degrees to complete the pattern of three original shapes manipulated two different ways. Therefore the only correct answer is the one he gave
@@Polumetis Did you mean to say box 6? Having just watched the youtyubers asnwer to #33 i think he got it wrong, and he didnt draw out his rule for the shapes in the green line which would have highlighted that - in his rule for step two the left side is unaltered, but as we can see in the green line it is altered. My attempt to explain his explanation also missed that, so i was talking rubbish. And only now can i see what @janvdplaat3067 was getting at and maybe the answer should be be B. Step two rotates the left side on the green line, right side on the blue line and so maybe the red line should go back to left side again. That seem unsatisafactory and maybe this is just one those questions created by a program that should not have been included.
I paused every puzzle during this video and managed to solve all the puzzles, except 34 where I gave up after 15 minutes. As I lately found out there was a mistake in pictures. Last puzzles took between 5-10 minutes from me to solve. I am not a fast thinker, even on a easier ones I try to double check everything before making final answer, so there is no way I would finish all the puzzles in 25 minutes as Mensa wants.
For puzzle 33, mirroring vertically, then horizontally does not othorgate you the 3rd transition starting from the circle, from the 2nd to 3rd transition.
@@Rackcoon929 lmao good one. Irrelevent but this was a year ago and I wish I could go back and time and tell myself to never take those anxiety mind altering drugs that my GP didn't even tell me were mind altering drugs because they've made me dumber (impaired my psychomotor speed, my saccadic eye movements aren't even as quick/darting as they used to be). I'm assuming you care about your IQ as everyone here LOL. I'm at 145+ SD 15 btw, so heads up bro. I often fantasize about going back in time and telling myself that the "unbearable" pain is worth suffering through, because my quality of life was tremendous. That's how bad it is. Heads up bro, if it ever happens to you, you're strong enough. You're life is really good to suffer through.
You don't need the coloured lines, just look at the 3 circle pictures and the 3 triangle pictures separately. You have to reverse both vertically and horizontally one side because that's what the triangle suggest
For #35 I don't like how the shapes aren't placed consistently within the square. For the first column for instance there is a smaller bottom margin on square 1 than square 2. For some of the other questions, placing is important, so I don't know if they're doing this on purpose or not.
At the puzzle #34 an alternative way is to see that the below square of a column is being subtracted from the middle square of the column to get the above square of the column. The result is always gets written below the line of the above square. For example at the first colum 2 small is subtracted from 2 other small to get nothing. It is like weight comparison and reduction. From the second column we learn that a big square is equivalent to 3 small squares. I mean, at the second column, middle square's left side, we have 2 big minus 1 big and 1 small = 2 small. At the second column, middle square's right side, we have 2 small minus 2 small which is nothing onthe rightside. This fits the pattern. Hence, at the 3rd column, should have had 1 big and 1 small to get 2 smalls (leftside). And smalls on the right to cancel out to nothing. Hence the alternative answer is C.
Couldn't Puzzle #34 be seen as 3 small squares being added to form a big square resulting in 3 big squares and a small square? This seems as likely as the actual solution.
#33 To put it simply, you can think of it as half of a circle, triangle, or square (without the top) rotated 180 degrees. If you have to create a rule between lines, the rule for moving from the 2nd to the 3rd line may be that the 3rd line is the result of rotating the 'open to the left' part in the 2nd line by 180 degrees. Anyway, the answer to both solutions is 3.
Puzzle 33 I don't understand how the algorithm of transition from the 2nd to the 3rd picture works in the green line.If we mirror only the right side,how can we get 2 'C' s facing right?Also if we mirror the right side of the second picture in the blue line we can't get the third picture it seems.
There exist three versions of each shape: LR, ⅃Я, Lᴚ The missing shape must be: Lᴚ The answer is C, with LR=⊔. LR=⟂ is not possible as then there would be no answer
I don't think you need the coloured lines. The circles have two reversed sides, and one of them could be reversed vertically and it makes no difference to our eyes. But the triangles have one reversed both vertically and horizontally, therefore it will be the same for the bucket.
puzzle 20 if the first and second column has common sides, don't display it in the third column if one column has a side the other column doesn't, display it in the third column
I'm taking my official test on Saturday and practiced with this internet test, but some puzzles were super confusing. Thank you for your clear explanations, they helped a lot!
my solution for puzzle 34: each column contains an addition, the last two squares are added up to form the top square. the big square is worth 3 and the small is worth 1, everything that is below the line is negative, and above is positive. first column: 2 positive + 2 negative = 0 (top image is just a line). second column: 6 positive + 8 negative = 2 negative (top image has 2 small squares). following the same logic, since the second image of the third column has 8 positive and the result is 2 negative, the solution has to be 10 negative. the only option that contains 10 negative is the first option.
#35... i knew there was addition with cancellation, but couldn't quite work out how it was being done. but i noticed that solution 6 is the only answer with a dotted vertical line, so i selected that as that's what we would get with addition and cancellation of the first 2 images.
I tried it myself and got 120 but I couldn't concentrate properly because of time limit and couldn't solve last 3 questions should I attempt it again??
#33 is crazy 😂 I got pic 6 using slightly looser logic to yours. I spent about 90s thinking about it so I went with what I came up with by that point. I definitely wouldn't have come up with your solution under the time constraints of an actual test IQ 😅
I think that its easier in puzzle 29 - to see the high black bar as a separator between plus (left) and minus (right) this gives the correct answer in last line: two (black squares) minus zero is two black squares so three is correct.
Explanation puzzle 33: There's a triangle, a circle and a 'U' shape. They each appear both 'normal', once with both halves mirrored along a vertical axis, and once with the left side intact and the right rotated 180 degrees. Based on what's there already: the three states for triangle and circle, and both the normal and mirrored state of the 'U' shape.What we need is: left side of the U intact, right side rotated 180 degrees.
for puzzle 34 i think it is correct, subtract the third column from the second column to get the first column. use a value of 3 for the big squares and you can logically finish with answer number 3 i believe
Hi! I am from Spain. It is a bit hard understand your explications in english because it is a very complex topic and is not my natural language but it is very interesting the solution that you are given us, thanks you very much. Is it possible that in the next explication you add more drawing?
It's hard to speak english for me as well since it's not my first language :P Yeah, I will 100% have better visual explanations for future videos (especially for harder puzzles). The only problem with drawings it that they take so long to make and if I make a drawing for every single puzzle it will take such a long time. I will try to figure out which puzzle specifically people need help with and make their drawings as good as possible :)
Puzzle #33 doesn't make any sense to me as the blue and green path doesn't form a logical pattern together. Taken alone you can deduce that the red line will have an L shape as part of it (at least based on the blue line) leaving only two options. And you know the shape is not repeated from 2nd to 3rd, so it has to be the top right. The circles makes no sense at all to me, it does not share the pattern with blue and red.
Hi. Not sure if someone has already mentioned it, but I believe that your explanation at 21:48 is not quite correct. In order to move from №2 to №3 triangular-looking shape you have to apply two mirrorings not just one: a horizontat one + a vertical one (one can also say that this transition is performed by applying inversion with center of the right side of the picture being the center of inversion or by rotating the right side of the picture 180 degrees, it doesn't really matter since these two actions are identical to two mirrorings but again one mirroring is just not enough). Also the pattern is broken for the semicircles since they should be pointing to the right for the pattern to hold true. Otherwise, a great explanation. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Hey, someone already pointed out that I had this mistake. Also about the part where you say the pattern is broken for the semicircles: You can argue that for each green, blue or red line there are two pictures with an identical left side while the right sides of these two pictures are rotated by 180 degrees. As an example we have picture (2,7) and picture (5,8) -> the red line should also have such two pictures with an identical left side while the right side is rotated by 180 degrees. We know that picture 1 can't be one of these pictures which have an identical left side because if we look at the answers we can see that none of the left sides match with picture 1 -> the answer is picture 6 with the left side remained constant and with the right side rotated 180 degrees -> Answer 3 is correct. Here is a video that someone sent to me in response to this video and what you said about the pattern being true: th-cam.com/video/sOaJ7OoV03A/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=X-RayCrystallography (also left a similar comment on that video if anything I wrote here wasn't clear)
@@PuzzlesAndSolutionsThe link th-cam.com/video/sOaJ7OoV03A/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=X-RayCrystallography is not working anymore. As I said elsewhere: Puzzle #33: two correct answers?!

I did the test in norway and was able to understand it fine. But doing on either denmark sweden or finland its just way worse made. All zoomed out, colors easily blend, harder to spot the differences for me and my eyes just hurt after doing em
For puzzle 33 the method didn’t work for the green segment, the 3rd image is flipped the wrong way, or maybe I’m not understanding the method that you achieve your solution.
Yeah I see that it doesn't work for the green segment now. You could still conclude that answer 3 is the correct answer tho. Looking at the left side of the pictures in a specific segment/line (red/green/blue): we can see that two of the pictures have their left side in common. For the circles (green) its the first and third picture that have their left side in common. For the triangles (blue) its the second and third picture that have their left side in common. To find out if our answer in the red segment is (first and third) or (second and third) for similar left sides. We can just look at the answers and see that none of the answers have a left side similar to the first picture in the segment/line. Therefore we know that the red segment's second and third picture have their left side in common. This leaves answer 3 or 6 as correct. To find out which is the correct answer we have to look at the transition between the pictures with similar left sides. We can see that the right side is mirrored first horizontally and then vertically (or you could say its mirrored along a diagonal line going from bottom left to top right). Doing this to picture 2 in the red diagonal leads to answer 3 being correct. Noticed I slightly misspoke in the video. I claimed that we only have to mirror it horizontally while we have to mirror it horizontally and vertically. Also note that if we do the same mirroring twice then we have "no effect" therefore it does not matter what picture with a similar left side we pick to get the other picture (since they both lead to each other). Hopefully that makes sense. Did you find another way to solve the puzzle?
Oh I see, the way I try to solve it is that all the segments (red, green, and blue) the second image follow the same pattern(mirroring vertically in the middle) but the third images the red segments right side is mirrored horizontally and vertically, then it alternates to the right side(mirrored horizontally and vertically) for green and switching to right side(mirroring horizontally and vertically) for blue. So it changes from right left right transformations for the different 3rd segments(red, green, blue).

puzzle 33: how do you know whether to flip the left or the right side? It seems ambiguous to me because the circle flips its left side while the triangle flips its right side
Puzzle #33 bottom left picture must be wrong! It should be 2 right half circles. Then the rotation of the middle right segment would be conform for all lines.
Puzzle #26 I don’t think it’s about the eye sight, because second row has already answered the problem of the size.. this is just for the narrator.. I wonder if someone’s watching when you do this specific puzzle, checking if anyone uses any sort of tools to measure the size.. and they’d say gotcha you don’t watch where you walk..
do you know if you can use a pen and peper while doing these test. I did not and it is so much harder to have to imagine some of the rotations and stuff like in puzzle 35
I scored 128 before looking at the answers, I am very proud. I know it doesn't make sense to celebrate iq, because it's (for the most part) something we can't change. But whatever, simply being above average boosts my confidence.
@@nicolasruiz7054 Because IQ measures an innate ability. Intelligence is not something you can study and change significantly overtime. Why do you think are kids who have an iq 140, while there are adults with 100? Did the kids study more? No, they naturally have more cognitive abilities. What makes you think that you *can* increase IQ by a notable amount? No studies have shown a method that can increase IQ for everyone that applies it.
@@MrPicklekvGygA Yeah but the fact that there are kids with 140 iq and adults with 100 doesn't mean that iq can't be trained. There doesn't have to be a 100% correlation between iq and studying to make it true.
@@EverythingPianolla Doesn't matter, can you prove that iq can be trained? If not, then believing that it can is pseudoscience. I brought up studying not because it's the only theorized method of increasing IQ, I just brought it up to reinforce the fact that the 140 iq kids were born with their intellect.
@@MrPicklekvGygA my IQ was 125 when I was 15 now I am 18 and I tested it again and now it's 137. IQ may change overtime if you are studying something which requires a lot of logical thinking.
Sorry for the late reply, was busy with exams. Some of the transitions have to have a mirroring. It can be seen on the left part of the picture moving from the first to the second picture in one of the lines, there is no way to just rotate the left side of the picture to get that effect. It has to be mirrored. I had a few mistakes in the video explaining it but i left a more detailed explanation in one of the other comments which looked like this: " Looking at the left side of the pictures in a specific segment/line (red/green/blue): we can see that two of the pictures have their left side in common. For the circles (green) its the first and third picture that have their left side in common. For the triangles (blue) its the second and third picture that have their left side in common.

I love doing these puzzles, then getting to your channel and see if I reasoned the same way and it makes me smile that even if I find a reasoning weird, you found the same reasoning hahah BTW, any way to practice for mensa in your opinion?
I haven't tried an official mensa test, i'm not really sure if their online tests are similar to their actual tests. I would say that it is possible to practice for an official mensa IQ test, IF their official tests have raven matrices like their online tests. For example lets say that Mensa offer just regular raven matrices on their official IQ tests. At first when I saw diagonal puzzles which contain easy repetitions in the diagonals and way harder in the rows and columns. I solved it by the hard patterns in the rows and columns but after solving a few of these puzzles I noticed that you could just look at the diagonals. So I now know that you can look at diagonals which I didn't know for like the first 3/4 of my first online test. Therefore I would definitely save more time on these diagonal puzzles on an official test. This would give me more time for the other puzzles and give me an overall better score. It is definitely possible to practice for IQ tests, at least if they are generally the same.
@@PuzzlesAndSolutions Perfect answer. I already tried a mensa test and I can assure you it's exactly the same as the online one. I failed but the circumstances weren't fair at all. I want to try again as I get consistently 140+ on online tests

@@PuzzlesAndSolutions Italy. It was a group test. So there were like more than 10 people. They found a hotel that offered a space to do such test. So we arrived there. They checked our documents. They handled us the tests which were the same type of test that are online but drawn in a book. We had another piece of paper where we would sign the answers. But the hotel had also a convention there that day and we kept hearing the speakers talk and people cheering/applauding. So it was pretty bad. In the middle of the test the convention took a break and they started flooding our room with people talking and making noise because that room had the food/drinks machines. I got so tilted due to that reason that I couldn't focus much anymore :s

I don't quite understand #33. How do I know where it starts? Because, to me, it doesn't cycle, you have to pick a place to start. If I mirror a circle vertically it'll be the same, what changes from )( to (( is the left side. I can't see how the same rule applies to the circle

Years ago while an undergraduate (before the internet but not stegosaurus) I walked into the psychology department on campus and asked them to test my intelligence, COLD, without knowing anything about the test or preparation of any type. They administered a test and a psychologist wrote a letter to MENSA certifying the result. But, how is an accurate assessment of what’s called IQ possible nowadays when subjects can prepare themselves so well online? This site is a case on point. Isn’t confronting problems or types of questions you’ve never seen part of what makes tests difficult and separates people in their ability to respond? On the other hand, if everyone is equally prepared then perhaps preparation matters less...

Hey Puzzles, Great video! When will you solve the IQ champion Test as you mentioned in a previous video? It is one of the most challenging ones on the web.
I had actually planned to solve it a long time ago but i got stuck on one of the puzzles. I'm struggling to figure out if i'm just not able to see the pattern of the puzzle or if the puzzle has something wrong with it. I can see a pattern which holds up for all the rows but when I use it to get the answer, it gives the wrong answer. The "official answer" is very close to "my answer" but I can't find some rule explaining why it should be the "official answer" and not "my answer". I know a single puzzle is just a small part of the video but still I want to try to give an answer to every single puzzle. I will probably make the video in the next month after my exams. I might have to make it without knowing the answer or if its just a mistake by the puzzle creator. Also i might make a couple of shorter videos before making the IQ Champion video :)
@@PuzzlesAndSolutions Thanks for the swift reply man, you are awesome! I am also stuck with Question 32, with the blue and red circles, is this the one you are talking about?. Good luck with your exams! I am sure you'll do great!
@@iraklis5193 No, puzzle 35. I was also a bit stuck on puzzle 32 for some time but asked for some help and they found a way to solve it. Puzzle 32 is really hard though. On puzzle 35 i thought the answer was: l*l*l*ll (l=line, *=circle) but the real answer is l*l*ll*. Did you get the correct answer for it when you solved it?
@@PuzzlesAndSolutions Yeah I got the 35 right although I am not sure if my reasoning is entirely correct as the pattern is sort of convoluted. So the patterns I found could better be described as ''priorities''. The first priority as we move from box to box is to separate yellow dots that touch each other and break up groups of pairs or triples of dots plotted together. This is quickly accomplished in the 1st and 2nd rows, but there is no need to do it on the third one as they are already separated. When the first priority is taken care of, the second one is to separate the pipes 'l' to the point of quickly breaking up groups of three until we establish a state of ' a couple of pipes and two singles, for example, (l*l*ll*)' it never gets to the point where the pipes are separated into four singles as this could have been achieved on the final picture of the first row but never was. Now after these priorities are taken care of, we are left with two alternatives. Either (l*l*ll*) or (*l*l*ll). So this is where things get complicated and my theory sort of weakens. The third pattern I think lies into the groups of pipes specifically the pairs of pipes as the triples have already be dissolved by the time we get to the third picture. As we can see, groups of pipes have a tendency to move to the left in every row, both the couples and triples. Keep in mind this happens at the same time the first two priorities come into effect and it applies to the one 'Group' of pipes that remains after the separation of pipes (2nd priority) is implemented. So for instance in the first picture of the third row, we can see that the pipe couple on the right is the one that survives the separation and is slowly moving towards the left. Now in the fourth row, we can see that the group of pipes(triple) remains steady, which goes against the rule, as it should be moving towards the left, but I think the reason it didn't move is that the 1st priority (separating the dots) isn't completed yet. We see a similar situation on the second row where the triple group of pipes only moves left after the final couple of dots is separated. So in summation, 1st prioritity is to separate the groups of dots, then the slow-moving (one step to the left at a time) of pipe groups (that survive separation) to the left starts while at the same time the second priority is being fulfilled. In the fourth row, the 1st priority is only completed in the third picture and that is why we see a move of the couple of pipes one step to the left, giving us (l*l*ll*) as the final answer. I hope this helps man. I will do my best to solve puzzle 32!
@@iraklis5193 I found somewhat of a similar pattern. But yeah if we follow your pattern and look at the forth row. Going from picture 2 to picture 3: Moves a line between the circles which are next to each other. This completes priority one then moves everything one to the left. Looking at the first row. Going from picture 1 to picture 2: Moves a line between the circles which are next to each other. This completes priority one then... does NOT move everything one to the left. The pattern in the first row going from picture 1 to picture 2 is not the same as the pattern which goes from picture 2 to picture 3 in the forth row. That's what i see which is contradictory, unless we assume that the other answer (*|*|*||) is the correct one. Correct me if i'm understanding your pattern wrongly here.
It’s about the same, personally I got 138 on Norway, 126+ Sweden (All questions right), 126 on Denmark and 133 on Finish. I would say all in all I even out at about 133-135 when you combine them.
I scored 140 on the test but seeing this solution on puzzle #35 leads me to believe that I got a bit lucky with mine. Here is how I solved that question. I noticed that the left column always has the highest amount of lines so I counted them and here is what I got: left column first row are 6 lines, left column second row are 5 lines, left column third row are 6 lines, than I counted the middle and right columns for each row and here it gets interesting. Remember the left column first row has 6 lines, counting each line from the middle and right column in the first row adds up to 6 so 6 lines = 3 lines + 3 lines. For the second column that wouldn't work if I count the lines because one line is dotted so I assumed it would mean it's not a line therefore subtracting it from the total. I got 5 lines = 3 lines + 3 lines -1 dotted line. To solve for the missing answer I repeated that pattern, 6 lines = 4 lines + 2 lines but there is no answer with only 2 lines so I used the dotted line to subtract. I basically did +1-1 to the answer so 6 lines = 4 lines + 3 lines - 1 dotted line. That's how I got the triangle with the dotted line on the left as my answer which turns out to actually be the correct one. I hope you can follow my logic.
Don't, the puzzles at the end were for the ones at least above 125, so that means you probably are above 110 IQ which means you aren't stupid. Your sense and logic are above average.
@@asiamies9153 It's mensa finland's online practice-test. Mensa Denkmark and Mensa Norway also have tests like these. While they're not technically legitimate IQ tests, they do give you an indication of how well you would do on the real test.
Puzzles & Solutions I noticed that the third column has a straight line in the middle so i decided that the answer would also be a straight line in the middle, but now there are two types of lines (full line and dashed line) so I looked at the the first row and I noticed that there is a full rectangle so this deserve a full line and for the second row it doesn’t have a full rectangle so it deserves a dashed line, so by looking at row nr 3 I found that there is no complete rectangle so I choosed the dashed line in the middle. I don’t know if this method is correct, but I chose the right answer.
@@PuzzlesAndSolutions yeah i thought it was c aswell, the top row, middle and right side squares cancel eachother out and result in no squares. Im too lazy to explain this in words anymore lol. If 2 small squares=1, small+big=2 and 2 big=3 Then the answer would be on the left and you subtract the middle square from the right square. Ex. Middle row, middle square would be 2 on the left and 1 the right and right square would be 3 on the left and 1 on the right. Then you just do 3-2 and 1-1 wich leaves you with 1 on the left side. Sorry if my explanation is confusing. It's much easier to do these sorts of things in my head :/
Now that i look at it again i still think it's c 🤔 i just forgot what my logic was 😭 basically it's the same thing i explained except for the whole subtraction thing. Just the squares canceling eachother out
Puzzle 24 does not seem correct, it seems top row moves down and merges with images bellow, if that is the case third row on right is missing line that goes from top left corner to bottom right corner. Thanks I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Hello I made some tests and there are some questions I couldn’t solve myself so I was wondering if you or anyone else here reading my comment might have it. 1. Ralph likes 25 but not 24; he likes 400 but not 300; he likes 144 but not 145. Which does he like: A)10 B)50 C)124 D)200 E)1600 Here the quiz showed me the solution is E)1600 but I still couldn’t figure out how come? 2.Find the missing number 9-19 8-17 14-29 24-? A)46 B)49 C)124 D)44 What is the missing number in the sequence shown below? 1 - 8 - 27 - ? - 125 - 216 -36 -45 -46 -64 -99 - the solution is 64, but why? Thanks for any help 😘
Hi, I've figured out the answers and their explanations to the questions that you've mentioned above. In the first one, Ralph only likes those numbers that are a perfect square, for example, 5*5 = 25, 20*20=400 and 12*12=144. In the options, 1600 is the answer, since it is the only number that is a perfect square, i.e, 40*40=1600. In the second one, a number is given, and then it is multiplied by two and 1 is added to it. As in 9*2+1=19, 8*2+1=17 and 14*2+1=29. Therefore, the correct answer is 49 as 24*2+1 = 49. In the last one, we're simply seeing a pattern of the cubes of numbers from 1-6 as 1*1*1=1, 2*2*2=8 and 3*3*3=27, therefore, the answer is 64 as 4*4*4=64.
Looking across the rows, and area where you have the same colour in the first two tiles, it is white in the 3rd tile. Any area where you have both black and white is black. In the bottom row, you have a black boundary with a white middle, and a white boundary with a white middle. Boundary = Black+White = Black Middle = White+White = White Hope this helps :)
Shameful, I got 121 and my friend got 135, in fact I am much smarter than him in mathematics, in music, in speaking, analyzing and making judgments. I started talking about a year old and he started at two years old. Is this fair?
A little update. I will be reading for my final exams for a month (until 05.06), so I will stay away from the channel until i'm done with my exams for this semester. In June and throughout my summer vacation i will probably start posting more videos since no university classes. If you have a potential video idea or some IQ test you want me to check out , send me a direct message or leave a comment :)
The audio in the video got a bit bad. After a few hours of editing the video my program crashed and the save file got corrupted. Had to restart the entire thing. Also in the last 10 puzzles there was some construction work outside. After running noise reduction to remove the construction noise from the audio, there is just no bass left and the audio was too loud in some parts because i thought speaking louder would make it unnoticeable. Hopefully you can at least understand the audio.
Hope you are all staying happy and safe during the social distancing
@Sahel Khosh Hal A Person - I have not officially been tested. I live in Norway, so I might try to take an official Mensa Norway IQ test in the future. If i ever do, I will definitely make a video about it (Don't know if you allowed legally to talk about the official puzzles?).
I'm not sure if I would want to be a part of the Mensa Society even if I got invited. Have two friends who are a part of it and i'm pretty sure it's mostly social gatherings and such.
I think the best way to meet new people is through some common interest. That way we already have in some common.
Who i meet in the Mensa Norway gatherings would just be random besides that we both scored a sufficiently high on the IQ test.
If I became a part of Mensa Norway it would be interesting to interview different people who are a part of it and ask about their thoughts about IQ, what they do in life, their education,... I'm really curious what the people who are a part of it think about IQ. Also if there would be a noticeable correlation between scoring high IQ and having a higher education/some sort of "fancy job".
That's about every thought I have had around getting an official test :P
can you do a video on the JCTI
@@earthorbit7775 Hey, I was searching after it and all i could find was this: www.reddit.com/r/mensa/comments/c53l1k/can_the_jcti_iq_test_still_be_found_online/erzq7kk/
If you check in the comments you can find and old test named JCTI. Don't know what test you specifically referred to, was it this one?
this is why iq tests suck. i found the answer for the 34th question in about 15 seconds which u say is the correct answer. but it was completely an accident.i mean i know im no genius but idiots who judge based on iq tests might think i am.
@@ssaccount8090 But if you pick the correct answer by random chance then you will on average answer correctly every 6 answers which will give you a low score. Also I agree with you its dumb to judge people based on IQ score, there are so many more things that are important when it comes to your brain.
Puzzle #33: B or C?
Blue line: The right-> side of Top right picture3, equals left side rotated 180 degrees.
Green line : The left side picture 4 and 7. And from picture 4 to 7 left side of Top left picture1, equals left side rotated 180 degrees gives answer C.
Red line: following green line procedure: The left
You may have been distracted by his explanation, and the lines he drew. There are three shapes manipulated in two different ways, making nine in total. There are just two rules to look for, and both begin with a split down the centre line, top to bottom. One rule is where after the split the shape is flipped or mirrored, you now have six shapes. Second rule, after taking the original shape, is where you split it down the centre and only the right side is moved, being rotated 180 degrees on its own axis, you now have nine shapes. So therefore, the U shape (in box six, say), which already has the mirror flip (in the top left number 1 box) needs to have just the right side rotated180 degrees to complete the pattern of three original shapes manipulated two different ways. Therefore the only correct answer is the one he gave
@@ITSREALLYNOTYOURFAULT Applying the second rule to box 8 would give a different answer, wouldn't it? The left side would look like _\
@@Polumetis Did you mean to say box 6? Having just watched the youtyubers asnwer to #33 i think he got it wrong, and he didnt draw out his rule for the shapes in the green line which would have highlighted that - in his rule for step two the left side is unaltered, but as we can see in the green line it is altered. My attempt to explain his explanation also missed that, so i was talking rubbish. And only now can i see what @janvdplaat3067 was getting at and maybe the answer should be be B. Step two rotates the left side on the green line, right side on the blue line and so maybe the red line should go back to left side again. That seem unsatisafactory and maybe this is just one those questions created by a program that should not have been included.
@@Polumetis And now i see what you mean and of course you are correct, yes, my rules do not work and box 8 would look the way you said. Thank you.
I paused every puzzle during this video and managed to solve all the puzzles, except 34 where I gave up after 15 minutes. As I lately found out there was a mistake in pictures. Last puzzles took between 5-10 minutes from me to solve. I am not a fast thinker, even on a easier ones I try to double check everything before making final answer, so there is no way I would finish all the puzzles in 25 minutes as Mensa wants.
Puzzle #33
The green third box does not follow the correct solution, there you have the left part of the circle flipped horizontally.
correct ...must be a mistake here too
For puzzle 33, mirroring vertically, then horizontally does not othorgate you the 3rd transition starting from the circle, from the 2nd to 3rd transition.

Heads up bro, if it ever happens to you, you're strong enough. You're life is really good to suffer through.
@@says_who1874 dude I said “lmao” because I liked your name
You don't need the coloured lines, just look at the 3 circle pictures and the 3 triangle pictures separately. You have to reverse both vertically and horizontally one side because that's what the triangle suggest
For #35 I don't like how the shapes aren't placed consistently within the square. For the first column for instance there is a smaller bottom margin on square 1 than square 2. For some of the other questions, placing is important, so I don't know if they're doing this on purpose or not.
At the puzzle #34 an alternative way is to see that the below square of a column is being subtracted from the middle square of the column to get the above square of the column. The result is always gets written below the line of the above square. For example at the first colum 2 small is subtracted from 2 other small to get nothing. It is like weight comparison and reduction. From the second column we learn that a big square is equivalent to 3 small squares. I mean, at the second column, middle square's left side, we have 2 big minus 1 big and 1 small = 2 small. At the second column, middle square's right side, we have 2 small minus 2 small which is nothing onthe rightside. This fits the pattern.
Hence, at the 3rd column, should have had 1 big and 1 small to get 2 smalls (leftside). And smalls on the right to cancel out to nothing. Hence the alternative answer is C.
even i got the same, i think the more iq rated for the puzzel 34 would be c rather than the answer given in the video
Yeah i figured out this solution in 40 seconds. When it's logically accurate geniuses can solve it. We are all geniuses.
Couldn't Puzzle #34 be seen as 3 small squares being added to form a big square resulting in 3 big squares and a small square? This seems as likely as the actual solution.
#33 To put it simply, you can think of it as half of a circle, triangle, or square (without the top) rotated 180 degrees. If you have to create a rule between lines, the rule for moving from the 2nd to the 3rd line may be that the 3rd line is the result of rotating the 'open to the left' part in the 2nd line by 180 degrees. Anyway, the answer to both solutions is 3.
"open to the left" really can explain...
Puzzle 33 I don't understand how the algorithm of transition from the 2nd to the 3rd picture works in the green line.If we mirror only the right side,how can we get 2 'C' s facing right?Also if we mirror the right side of the second picture in the blue line we can't get the third picture it seems.
There exist three versions of each shape: LR, ⅃Я, Lᴚ
The missing shape must be: Lᴚ
The answer is C, with LR=⊔. LR=⟂ is not possible as then there would be no answer
I don't think you need the coloured lines. The circles have two reversed sides, and one of them could be reversed vertically and it makes no difference to our eyes. But the triangles have one reversed both vertically and horizontally, therefore it will be the same for the bucket.
puzzle 20
if the first and second column has common sides, don't display it in the third column
if one column has a side the other column doesn't, display it in the third column
I'm taking my official test on Saturday and practiced with this internet test, but some puzzles were super confusing. Thank you for your clear explanations, they helped a lot!
Good luck, let me know how it went and what you got.
26 was a tough one, I have seen that the proportions fit to number 1, but there is a grey fence not a black one.
my solution for puzzle 34: each column contains an addition, the last two squares are added up to form the top square. the big square is worth 3 and the small is worth 1, everything that is below the line is negative, and above is positive. first column: 2 positive + 2 negative = 0 (top image is just a line). second column: 6 positive + 8 negative = 2 negative (top image has 2 small squares). following the same logic, since the second image of the third column has 8 positive and the result is 2 negative, the solution has to be 10 negative. the only option that contains 10 negative is the first option.
puzzle 8
1st column: original shape
2nd column: how you cut it
3rd column: result
#35... i knew there was addition with cancellation, but couldn't quite work out how it was being done. but i noticed that solution 6 is the only answer with a dotted vertical line, so i selected that as that's what we would get with addition and cancellation of the first 2 images.
I tried it myself and got 120 but I couldn't concentrate properly because of time limit and couldn't solve last 3 questions should I attempt it again??
#33 is crazy 😂
I got pic 6 using slightly looser logic to yours. I spent about 90s thinking about it so I went with what I came up with by that point. I definitely wouldn't have come up with your solution under the time constraints of an actual test IQ 😅
Puzzle 23 can be a diagonal puzzle too.
I think that its easier in puzzle 29 - to see the high black bar as a separator between plus (left) and minus (right) this gives the correct answer in last line: two (black squares) minus zero is two black squares so three is correct.
puzzle 23
it's a diagonal puzzle with identical pictures north-east :P
Explanation puzzle 33: There's a triangle, a circle and a 'U' shape. They each appear both 'normal', once with both halves mirrored along a vertical axis, and once with the left side intact and the right rotated 180 degrees.
Based on what's there already:
the three states for triangle and circle, and both the normal and mirrored state of the 'U' shape.What we need is:
left side of the U intact, right side rotated 180 degrees.
for puzzle 34 i think it is correct, subtract the third column from the second column to get the first column. use a value of 3 for the big squares and you can logically finish with answer number 3 i believe
The 3 last ones where nearly impossible for us "mortals". Thank you so much for taking the time to explain them :)

@@PuzzlesAndSolutions Thanks you very much
Puzzle #33 doesn't make any sense to me as the blue and green path doesn't form a logical pattern together. Taken alone you can deduce that the red line will have an L shape as part of it (at least based on the blue line) leaving only two options. And you know the shape is not repeated from 2nd to 3rd, so it has to be the top right. The circles makes no sense at all to me, it does not share the pattern with blue and red.
If the circles repeated their pattern from 2nd to 3rd, they would follow the pattern of the other lines as well.
Hi. Not sure if someone has already mentioned it, but I believe that your explanation at 21:48 is not quite correct. In order to move from №2 to №3 triangular-looking shape you have to apply two mirrorings not just one: a horizontat one + a vertical one (one can also say that this transition is performed by applying inversion with center of the right side of the picture being the center of inversion or by rotating the right side of the picture 180 degrees, it doesn't really matter since these two actions are identical to two mirrorings but again one mirroring is just not enough). Also the pattern is broken for the semicircles since they should be pointing to the right for the pattern to hold true. Otherwise, a great explanation. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Hey, someone already pointed out that I had this mistake. Also about the part where you say the pattern is broken for the semicircles: You can argue that for each green, blue or red line there are two pictures with an identical left side while the right sides of these two pictures are rotated by 180 degrees. As an example we have picture (2,7) and picture (5,8) -> the red line should also have such two pictures with an identical left side while the right side is rotated by 180 degrees. We know that picture 1 can't be one of these pictures which have an identical left side because if we look at the answers we can see that none of the left sides match with picture 1 -> the answer is picture 6 with the left side remained constant and with the right side rotated 180 degrees -> Answer 3 is correct.
Here is a video that someone sent to me in response to this video and what you said about the pattern being true: th-cam.com/video/sOaJ7OoV03A/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=X-RayCrystallography (also left a similar comment on that video if anything I wrote here wasn't clear)

Puzzle 23 can be looked at diagonally. They show the same pattern in diagonal lines and so with intuition you can figure out the missing space.
The average intelligence of a jojo fan:
I did that. however it wasn't very convincing. I didn't realize the counterclockwise rotation of the black square
For puzzle 33 the method didn’t work for the green segment, the 3rd image is flipped the wrong way, or maybe I’m not understanding the method that you achieve your solution.
Yeah I see that it doesn't work for the green segment now. You could still conclude that answer 3 is the correct answer tho.
Looking at the left side of the pictures in a specific segment/line (red/green/blue): we can see that two of the pictures have their left side in common.
For the circles (green) its the first and third picture that have their left side in common.
For the triangles (blue) its the second and third picture that have their left side in common.
To find out if our answer in the red segment is (first and third) or (second and third) for similar left sides. We can just look at the answers and see that none of the answers have a left side similar to the first picture in the segment/line. Therefore we know that the red segment's second and third picture have their left side in common. This leaves answer 3 or 6 as correct.
To find out which is the correct answer we have to look at the transition between the pictures with similar left sides. We can see that the right side is mirrored first horizontally and then vertically (or you could say its mirrored along a diagonal line going from bottom left to top right). Doing this to picture 2 in the red diagonal leads to answer 3 being correct.
Noticed I slightly misspoke in the video. I claimed that we only have to mirror it horizontally while we have to mirror it horizontally and vertically. Also note that if we do the same mirroring twice then we have "no effect" therefore it does not matter what picture with a similar left side we pick to get the other picture (since they both lead to each other).
Hopefully that makes sense. Did you find another way to solve the puzzle?
Oh I see, the way I try to solve it is that all the segments (red, green, and blue) the second image follow the same pattern(mirroring vertically in the middle) but the third images the red segments right side is mirrored horizontally and vertically, then it alternates to the right side(mirrored horizontally and vertically) for green and switching to right side(mirroring horizontally and vertically) for blue. So it changes from right left right transformations for the different 3rd segments(red, green, blue).

Your explanation to question 33 is a bit confusing. Shouldn't the line in the middle also be affected if you mirror the right portion horizontally?
do you know if you can use a pen and peper while doing these test. I did not and it is so much harder to have to imagine some of the rotations and stuff like in puzzle 35
I scored 128 before looking at the answers, I am very proud. I know it doesn't make sense to celebrate iq, because it's (for the most part) something we can't change. But whatever, simply being above average boosts my confidence.
Something that you can't change? What makes you think it's something static?
@@nicolasruiz7054 Because IQ measures an innate ability. Intelligence is not something you can study and change significantly overtime.

What makes you think that you *can* increase IQ by a notable amount? No studies have shown a method that can increase IQ for everyone that applies it.
@@MrPicklekvGygA Yeah but the fact that there are kids with 140 iq and adults with 100 doesn't mean that iq can't be trained. There doesn't have to be a 100% correlation between iq and studying to make it true.
@@EverythingPianolla Doesn't matter, can you prove that iq can be trained? If not, then believing that it can is pseudoscience.

@@MrPicklekvGygA my IQ was 125 when I was 15 now I am 18 and I tested it again and now it's 137. IQ may change overtime if you are studying something which requires a lot of logical thinking.
Question 33: You said mirror but instead rotated. And with this method you can choose to rotate left or right part of the shape.
Sorry for the late reply, was busy with exams. Some of the transitions have to have a mirroring. It can be seen on the left part of the picture moving from the first to the second picture in one of the lines, there is no way to just rotate the left side of the picture to get that effect. It has to be mirrored. I had a few mistakes in the video explaining it but i left a more detailed explanation in one of the other comments which looked like this:
"
Looking at the left side of the pictures in a specific segment/line (red/green/blue): we can see that two of the pictures have their left side in common.
For the circles (green) its the first and third picture that have their left side in common.

To find out if our answer in the red segment is (first and third) or (second and third) for similar left sides. We can just look at the answers and see that none of the answers have a left side similar to the first picture in the segment/line. Therefore we know that the red segment's second and third picture have their left side in common. This leaves answer 3 or 6 as correct.

I love doing these puzzles, then getting to your channel and see if I reasoned the same way and it makes me smile that even if I find a reasoning weird, you found the same reasoning hahah
BTW, any way to practice for mensa in your opinion?
I haven't tried an official mensa test, i'm not really sure if their online tests are similar to their actual tests.
I would say that it is possible to practice for an official mensa IQ test, IF their official tests have raven matrices like their online tests.
For example lets say that Mensa offer just regular raven matrices on their official IQ tests. At first when I saw diagonal puzzles which contain easy repetitions in the diagonals and way harder in the rows and columns. I solved it by the hard patterns in the rows and columns but after solving a few of these puzzles I noticed that you could just look at the diagonals.
So I now know that you can look at diagonals which I didn't know for like the first 3/4 of my first online test.
Therefore I would definitely save more time on these diagonal puzzles on an official test. This would give me more time for the other puzzles and give me an overall better score.
It is definitely possible to practice for IQ tests, at least if they are generally the same.
@@PuzzlesAndSolutions Perfect answer. I already tried a mensa test and I can assure you it's exactly the same as the online one. I failed but the circumstances weren't fair at all. I want to try again as I get consistently 140+ on online tests
@@0xc0ffee_ Which country of mensa did you take? Also how did they do the test? did they monitor you while you were doing it or did you just do the test on paper and then turn it in?
I mean there is a sense of randomness for every test. You might have just gotten unlucky and gotten a lot of questions which you dislike :P
@@PuzzlesAndSolutions Italy. It was a group test. So there were like more than 10 people. They found a hotel that offered a space to do such test. So we arrived there. They checked our documents. They handled us the tests which were the same type of test that are online but drawn in a book. We had another piece of paper where we would sign the answers.
But the hotel had also a convention there that day and we kept hearing the speakers talk and people cheering/applauding. So it was pretty bad.
In the middle of the test the convention took a break and they started flooding our room with people talking and making noise because that room had the food/drinks machines.
I got so tilted due to that reason that I couldn't focus much anymore :s
@Dnomyar Akunawik ye sure bro, when I did the test a swarm of 30 people started having conversation and break time with coffee and food around the table I was doing the test. That was very fair wasn’t it? Imagine my focus at the time
I don't quite understand #33. How do I know where it starts? Because, to me, it doesn't cycle, you have to pick a place to start. If I mirror a circle vertically it'll be the same, what changes from )( to (( is the left side. I can't see how the same rule applies to the circle
puzzle 16
it's just like a basic alternating tile pattern :'D
Puzzle 16 I did diagonal from top left to bottom right and also gives the same result :) love these videos
I also did the bath from the top right to bottom left and read that my solution was B.but if you do the Anna from top left to bottom right then yes the solution is E.probably this problem is that this parcel is still simple, so there could be multiple solutions
I feel like this one is a lot easier than the norway and denmark mensa tests. The only problem I couldn't decipher on this one was problem 33, whereas on the norway and denmark tests, I couldn't figure out the last 4/5 on each test
I found Denmark easier. My problem is always the time. These have a limit of 25 while dk has a limit of 40min. I scored 136 on dk first try also serebiankoff culture fair test which has a limit of 40 min 136 first try. While I scored on this one 117 first try, because the time limit stresses me. Next try I got 130. Norway I scored 129 first try and 133 second.
Years ago while an undergraduate (before the internet but not stegosaurus) I walked into the psychology department on campus and asked them to test my intelligence, COLD, without knowing anything about the test or preparation of any type. They administered a test and a psychologist wrote a letter to MENSA certifying the result. But, how is an accurate assessment of what’s called IQ possible nowadays when subjects can prepare themselves so well online? This site is a case on point. Isn’t confronting problems or types of questions you’ve never seen part of what makes tests difficult and separates people in their ability to respond? On the other hand, if everyone is equally prepared then perhaps preparation matters less...
I thought I might have a go on this one. The tests seem to be getting really hard and I don't want my IQ score going really low.
is it possible to have completely different ways of reading the puzzles but also have the same result ?
Yes that's why these test are more or less accurate. But 25 min is too little time.

Hey Puzzles, Great video! When will you solve the IQ champion Test as you mentioned in a previous video? It is one of the most challenging ones on the web.
I had actually planned to solve it a long time ago but i got stuck on one of the puzzles. I'm struggling to figure out if i'm just not able to see the pattern of the puzzle or if the puzzle has something wrong with it. I can see a pattern which holds up for all the rows but when I use it to get the answer, it gives the wrong answer. The "official answer" is very close to "my answer" but I can't find some rule explaining why it should be the "official answer" and not "my answer". I know a single puzzle is just a small part of the video but still I want to try to give an answer to every single puzzle.
I will probably make the video in the next month after my exams. I might have to make it without knowing the answer or if its just a mistake by the puzzle creator. Also i might make a couple of shorter videos before making the IQ Champion video :)
@@PuzzlesAndSolutions Thanks for the swift reply man, you are awesome! I am also stuck with Question 32, with the blue and red circles, is this the one you are talking about?. Good luck with your exams! I am sure you'll do great!
@@iraklis5193 No, puzzle 35. I was also a bit stuck on puzzle 32 for some time but asked for some help and they found a way to solve it. Puzzle 32 is really hard though.
On puzzle 35 i thought the answer was:
l*l*l*ll (l=line, *=circle) but the real answer is l*l*ll*. Did you get the correct answer for it when you solved it?
@@PuzzlesAndSolutions Yeah I got the 35 right although I am not sure if my reasoning is entirely correct as the pattern is sort of convoluted. So the patterns I found could better be described as ''priorities''. The first priority as we move from box to box is to separate yellow dots that touch each other and break up groups of pairs or triples of dots plotted together. This is quickly accomplished in the 1st and 2nd rows, but there is no need to do it on the third one as they are already separated. When the first priority is taken care of, the second one is to separate the pipes 'l' to the point of quickly breaking up groups of three until we establish a state of ' a couple of pipes and two singles, for example, (l*l*ll*)' it never gets to the point where the pipes are separated into four singles as this could have been achieved on the final picture of the first row but never was. Now after these priorities are taken care of, we are left with two alternatives. Either (l*l*ll*) or (*l*l*ll). So this is where things get complicated and my theory sort of weakens. The third pattern I think lies into the groups of pipes specifically the pairs of pipes as the triples have already be dissolved by the time we get to the third picture. As we can see, groups of pipes have a tendency to move to the left in every row, both the couples and triples. Keep in mind this happens at the same time the first two priorities come into effect and it applies to the one 'Group' of pipes that remains after the separation of pipes (2nd priority) is implemented. So for instance in the first picture of the third row, we can see that the pipe couple on the right is the one that survives the separation and is slowly moving towards the left. Now in the fourth row, we can see that the group of pipes(triple) remains steady, which goes against the rule, as it should be moving towards the left, but I think the reason it didn't move is that the 1st priority (separating the dots) isn't completed yet. We see a similar situation on the second row where the triple group of pipes only moves left after the final couple of dots is separated. So in summation, 1st prioritity is to separate the groups of dots, then the slow-moving (one step to the left at a time) of pipe groups (that survive separation) to the left starts while at the same time the second priority is being fulfilled. In the fourth row, the 1st priority is only completed in the third picture and that is why we see a move of the couple of pipes one step to the left, giving us (l*l*ll*) as the final answer. I hope this helps man. I will do my best to solve puzzle 32!
@@iraklis5193 I found somewhat of a similar pattern.
But yeah if we follow your pattern and look at the forth row. Going from picture 2 to picture 3: Moves a line between the circles which are next to each other. This completes priority one then moves everything one to the left.
Looking at the first row. Going from picture 1 to picture 2: Moves a line between the circles which are next to each other. This completes priority one then... does NOT move everything one to the left.
The pattern in the first row going from picture 1 to picture 2 is not the same as the pattern which goes from picture 2 to picture 3 in the forth row. That's what i see which is contradictory, unless we assume that the other answer (*|*|*||) is the correct one.
Correct me if i'm understanding your pattern wrongly here.

@@PuzzlesAndSolutions PLEASE BROTHER I CAN NOT WAIT FOR MORE TIME FOR YOUR NEXT VIDEO SO PLEASE PUT IT
Just finished my last exam today! Will probably start working on a new video tomorrow :P
I scored 140 on the test but seeing this solution on puzzle #35 leads me to believe that I got a bit lucky with mine. Here is how I solved that question. I noticed that the left column always has the highest amount of lines so I counted them and here is what I got: left column first row are 6 lines, left column second row are 5 lines, left column third row are 6 lines, than I counted the middle and right columns for each row and here it gets interesting. Remember the left column first row has 6 lines, counting each line from the middle and right column in the first row adds up to 6 so 6 lines = 3 lines + 3 lines. For the second column that wouldn't work if I count the lines because one line is dotted so I assumed it would mean it's not a line therefore subtracting it from the total. I got 5 lines = 3 lines + 3 lines -1 dotted line. To solve for the missing answer I repeated that pattern, 6 lines = 4 lines + 2 lines but there is no answer with only 2 lines so I used the dotted line to subtract. I basically did +1-1 to the answer so 6 lines = 4 lines + 3 lines - 1 dotted line. That's how I got the triangle with the dotted line on the left as my answer which turns out to actually be the correct one. I hope you can follow my logic.
Some of the puzzles at the end of this video really made me feel stupid.
Don't, the puzzles at the end were for the ones at least above 125, so that means you probably are above 110 IQ which means you aren't stupid. Your sense and logic are above average.

Puzzle 21 couldn't it be first one top left cuz it deletes reapeted things
I got nr. 35 right with a completely different method. Is that possible??
yes
How did you get it right? Using the rows in some way?
Puzzles & Solutions I noticed that the third column has a straight line in the middle so i decided that the answer would also be a straight line in the middle, but now there are two types of lines (full line and dashed line) so I looked at the the first row and I noticed that there is a full rectangle so this deserve a full line and for the second row it doesn’t have a full rectangle so it deserves a dashed line, so by looking at row nr 3 I found that there is no complete rectangle so I choosed the dashed line in the middle. I don’t know if this method is correct, but I chose the right answer.
I don't get why Question 34 isn't C? I'm thinking that 3 small squares = 1 big square. What am I missing? :(
Im pretty sure that the question is flawed... How would you get to answer C with your logic tho?
@@PuzzlesAndSolutions yeah i thought it was c aswell, the top row, middle and right side squares cancel eachother out and result in no squares. Im too lazy to explain this in words anymore lol. If 2 small squares=1, small+big=2 and 2 big=3
Then the answer would be on the left and you subtract the middle square from the right square. Ex. Middle row, middle square would be 2 on the left and 1 the right and right square would be 3 on the left and 1 on the right. Then you just do 3-2 and 1-1 wich leaves you with 1 on the left side. Sorry if my explanation is confusing. It's much easier to do these sorts of things in my head :/
Wait nvm but i still dont get why it would be d... Shouldn't there be an answer with bigger than big squares on the left??
Now that i look at it again i still think it's c 🤔 i just forgot what my logic was 😭 basically it's the same thing i explained except for the whole subtraction thing. Just the squares canceling eachother out
Gaahhhh i can't explain it in words!!!! It's very simple once you get it though...

puzzle 22
x and grey doesn't move
#33 & 35 are nuts.
Hello I made some tests and there are some questions I couldn’t solve myself so I was wondering if you or anyone else here reading my comment might have it.
1. Ralph likes 25 but not 24; he likes 400 but not 300; he likes 144 but not 145. Which does he like:
A)10 B)50 C)124
D)200
E)1600
Here the quiz showed me the solution is E)1600 but I still couldn’t figure out how come?
2.Find the missing number
9-19 8-17 14-29 24-?
A)46
B)49
C)124
D)44
What is the missing number in the sequence shown below?
1 - 8 - 27 - ? - 125 - 216
-36
-45
-46
-64
-99
- the solution is 64, but why?
Thanks for any help 😘
Hi, I've figured out the answers and their explanations to the questions that you've mentioned above.
In the first one, Ralph only likes those numbers that are a perfect square, for example, 5*5 = 25, 20*20=400 and 12*12=144.
In the options, 1600 is the answer, since it is the only number that is a perfect square, i.e, 40*40=1600.
In the second one, a number is given, and then it is multiplied by two and 1 is added to it. As in 9*2+1=19, 8*2+1=17 and 14*2+1=29. Therefore, the correct answer is 49 as 24*2+1 = 49.
In the last one, we're simply seeing a pattern of the cubes of numbers from 1-6 as 1*1*1=1, 2*2*2=8 and 3*3*3=27, therefore, the answer is 64 as 4*4*4=64.

Looking across the rows, and area where you have the same colour in the first two tiles, it is white in the 3rd tile. Any area where you have both black and white is black.
In the bottom row, you have a black boundary with a white middle, and a white boundary with a white middle.
Boundary = Black+White = Black
Middle = White+White = White
