- In this video I try to explain every puzzle of the Mensa Norway test only through visual animations and nothing else. Link to IQ Test: test.mensa.no/
I mostly made this video to practice using after effects so I could make better visuals for future videos :)
The explanations for puzzle 13, 18, 19, 33, and 34 are the best ones in my opinion.
Please let me know in the comments if you find interesting IQ Tests that you want me to check out!

![อาจารย์ยอด : ลุงแว่วเล่าเรื่องผี [ผี]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Fd2Qsy4dqpM/mqdefault.jpg)
I pretty quickly picked up on the fact that the answers weren't strictly LTR or TTB transformations, but also diagonally, but I never noticed that they were adding things together and then removing or keeping the overlap. I struggled a lot with those but they make perfect sense now 😮
I did too and I am hyper focused person. Are we suppose to be able to mentally move the images in our head like on screen? I wonder how many practice for this and score high and who goes in blind and scores equally high...Preparation is the key to everything but IDK much about IQ test, being a drop out from being a big video gamer as a child in the 2000s, I just couldn't get enough of the hard strategy pvp games before they became easy, so i don't know where I place myself.
edit; obviously after watching the video, if I practiced I can clearly see how it all works, even until the end. I just found myself(i got kicked out in 7th, reform school until 10th, dropped out 11th grade) so is practicing this cheating or for the smart? I feel like I'd be cheating If I saw this before taking it. after question 29, that would take a bit of practice but I would just be using my memory which is fantastic compared to logic, and I have no clue how these test work since I basically have a 7th grade education. I was born in 88
Very simple trick to get into Mensa. The earlier questions are always vertical/horizontal pattern based and the later questions (especially the last one) is almost always diagonal based. Looked at 35 and realised that every diagonal preserves one property. One diagonal connecting the missing block preserved the sideways lines while the other preserved the downward triangle. If you know to look at the diagonals, this pattern would have been spotted easily by most people.
is there anyway to solve without using diagnals
Exactly, once you discover the diagonal pattern. Everything becomes easier.
@@phr3ui559 I think you can solve all/most puzzles without using the diagonals. However it is a lot harder than using the them.
The point of the test is to not known them and solve them without knowing how to then tester use his own brain. What the point if you already known the way to solve then it is a speed run not iq test.
@@kyoza1911 so the test is bs
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how beautiful and satisfying this video is?
true.
genius. 34 explanation, never thought of it that way damn! that's hella interesting! I got that one 29, 32, 33, 34, and 35 wrong. all the last 5-10 are pretty tough!
i got 33 right, but I guessed that and got lucky. I wouldve easily figured 33 out if i had more time, but i was under a lot of time pressure.
TYPO, Exercise #30, middle square: missing upper left dot
I've found your solutions are really different and interesting. Thanks for giving useful knowledge. Love it! ❤️
This is the best way to explain.
You deserve more subscribers.
This is really lovely to watch :) Thank you!
Nice to see how it’s meant to be solved with some beautiful animations, the last 4 were very confusing for me
Word. The last few where the worst, and I ran out of fucking time😵💫
Very excellent and creative presentation !
Maybe it's not the original thought process as most other people did on the test, but your innovation has inspired me a lot indeed .
35, as well, looks like a solution adjusted to the answer. Instead, a bottom row element can be formed as an intersection of diagonal elements from the second row minus the element from the first row right above the bottom element.
mind. freaking blown. 35 was all of that? that was the patter the whole time! DAMN! Awesome! You explaining it kind of made my mind break a little bit. Woah. Kaboom.
It important to notice that when we see a diagonal pattern, moving down row, the one that supposedly goes out of the 6box range will appear on the other end next row (i.e. for right-to-left diagonal pattern, moving downward, box1 will move to box6). That did not occur to me when I did the test, so I was rly confused when Im face with a RTL diagonal problem even when I notices the diagonal pattern.
I have been actually thinking of similar solutions to last 3 or 4 tasks, however my brain lacks memory and 3D processing power to test them in real time. lol.
the most poetic thing I ever seen
'Come away, o human child
To the waters and the wild...'
simplistic and beautiful, fortunately there is more than 1 way to solve the puzzle
Thanks for a great video.
It would be nice though if each new new puzzle was shown for a second or two, so that one could pause and try to solve before going on.
that 33 literally killed me
So you are literally dead? You wrote that comment being literally dead. I think that is literally impossible.
@@notaberry2415 nigga...
Question 19 was the first question where the diagonal pattern (from bottom left to right) becomes immediately obvious. I think without this question bridging questions 1-18 with questions 20-35 I would have likely done much worse.
this explains the answers super clearly
34 explanation is overcomplicated - it’s actually a bottom-down right-left diagonal puzzle where two adjacent dots are moving clockwise and can be overlapped by black dots which keep still.
Something is wrong with puzzle 30, centre figure...I think it's the wrong figure and is missing a dot in top left corner. If we use your figure instead, we see that the dot (col1,row2, top left corner) plus blank (col2,row2, top left corner) should be dot( col3, row2, top left.) Instead we see a box (col3,row2, top left), which should be as a result of dot plus dot. ???? Anyone see this?
On exercise 8 I only see the top and bottom row as cycling patterns. The top rows all count 1 through 3 moving to the left. The bottom row counts 1 to 3 moving to the right and the middle row doesn't change. So, I'd only have slid the top rows, then the bottom rows and ignored the middle row. :)
I know how to solve 12 but don't understand the explanation. The clear region in each square rotates clockwise when you read left to right or anti clockwise if you read top to bottom. The grey region shifts to the right when you read top to bottom. Because the ravens matrices often work in groups of three you don't always have to know which way they rotate, you can often just note which of the three shapes is missing. So because each row and each column has two black and one grey shaded area you don't have to care which way it rotates, it's just "the other one". That gives you multiple ways of looking at the problem. In any case, it is the symbol with a black shaded region and the white region to the lower left.
29 was the first one I didn't solve. Even having seen it solved, I still can't easily see how you'd get to that from what you know at the start.
I'm not sure I would have ever worked out 30 without this. I think it's how I'm thinking. With the RPMs I'm so used to looking only for sequences that I haven't thought the solution could be anything else. On 30 it's modular arithmetic mod 3. As long as space is 0 then dot and square are 1 and 2 (and it doesn't make any difference which value you assign to which). What you do is sum the values of the shapes to get the outcome. So, it still really is a sequence. In this case each symbol shifts the answer through the sequences according to its symbol value, so, if you choose space = 0, dot = 1 and square = 2 then you sum those values (or shift by that amount from 0) and the result of that summation is the answer. I am not sure the animation makes it clear enough but the colour when two are superimposed maps to the correct symbol after the summation: Yellow = square, red = space, green = dot. Black = symbol maps over a space so it's unchanged (o is the identity element for addition).
Strange how, after that two question beasting, 31 is easy again.
34 is obscenely difficult. I don't know how you'd work it out from the clues after learning not all the information was visible at the start.
that would make sense but in question 30 diagram 4 (numbered like a keypad) the top left dot changes into a square in the final diagram even though there isn't a dot to "add it up" to the square in diagram 5, would you explain this for me better? Edit: apparently the video creator made a typo and there is supposed to be a dot in the top left, also 29 is almost impossible to solve from the get-go because they move the filled in square in the center diagram to the top in the next diagram, and this was only displayed once within the question, meaning there wasn't a pattern to derive from that move, making a seemingly crucial detail patternless/meaningless to the question. The filled-in square shoulda been on top of the clear square from the get-go since its location has no bearing on the question/pattern whatsoever.
Best video ever
Somehow this confuses me even on the ones I got right. I wasn’t thinking of it as moving through the boxes though, more as phases of what happens.
Same
thank you for this video i appreciate it, i simply dont understand how we are suposed to figure out 35 to be honest. Yes you explaining it make sense but i dont know how one is suposed to figure out that you need to do this.
after the 20th they mostly got related to the Boolean logic
I blitz through 1-31 couldn't do 32-35. Never thought about diagonal and column based patterns since 1-31 are all row based
Puzzle 17 @ 4:40 Please help me understand: Top row stopwatch moves in 10 second intervals - 00 - 10 - 20. Mid row 15 - 25 - 35 . Bottom 20 - 30 - then your answer moves it 15 seconds ahead to 45 (D). Why is the answer not B ?
As i see It the second column moves 5 seconds and the third column moves more than that seconds
this is not how i see it in my head xD but it is a great video..
One of the things that kept stumping me in this test was all the diagonal solutions. I hate the fact that the disagonals continued on in squares that weren't connected to the initial diagonal
WHAT HOW DOES 33 JUST FLIP?! WHO WOULD THINK OF IT IN THAT WAY WHAT?! CONFUSED ALL THOSE STEPS I FEEL LIKE ITS CHEATING TO SEE IT THIS WAY BUT I SCORED IN THE 99 I DIDN'T THINK OF IT THAT WAY LMAO
99 is Low dude I got 142 with 1 wrong so the max is probably 145
@@hansenteo241 With that IQ I wouldn't count on it...
Everyone's thinking style is different so don't panic
@@hansenteo241 I'm fairly certain karlo ponte meant that he scored in the 99th percentile, not a numerical value of 99 on the test...maybe you should retest your iq?
And Hanson Teo is telling us that his IQ is 142...LOL
for question 29 it's kinda bs that they put the filled in square on bottom in diagram 5 as if the position of the filled in square matters then change it to the top location in diagram 6
Got 29 and 32 wrong. Very cool though!
Tengo coeficiente 70 ...pero amo este video .me relaja .
34 is crazy
I alway use simple method that i create and end up 135-138.
can't understand what happen to the puzzle 30, can anyone explain it for me?
Two circles combined make a square two squares combined make a circle circle and square combined disappears single objects combined with nothing remain
You gotta wonder how smart the guys are who come up with the questions. I paused and tried to answer for myself, and got 31/35. But more than half of my answers had different solutions. These questions are INSANELY clever to have more than one solution like that. 🤯
Or my brain is just weird.. either work 😂
interesting insight actually!
i was defeated by those "diagonal" questions =v
Exercise 23 still doent make sense. What rules are you using to change the shapes and colours?
He does not change anything. It wraps around.
Look at the mid first. Figures go from right to left and then go diagonally
i'm very slow and only got to 24 (i thought there were 25 questions in total!! even if i knew there were more ahead i would still be slow and wouldnt be able to finish) before time ran out, scored 107. just average
Every time I check the some explanation to number 33 it's always the same .. what the F??? .. that's my reaction. Like parts of the explanations makes sense and parts just don't seems like somebody pick by random that particular configuration of transformations. Either I am missing something or there is missing something.
Agree, how do we know which axis turns down and which turns up? First time its up - down - down, then second time up - up - down? Independent of shade as well... hmmm..
Its like shape sudoku
Annoying that it automatically starts moving everything. I want to have a second to pause it and solve it first, please.
I only got 4 wrong
I still don't understand 29😨
Hi, you add left side from the first column to the left side in the second column, you do the same for the right side. If there is a rectangle of the same color on both left and right, then they cancel each other out.
Great!
can someone please explain in words the exercise n. 30? I still don't get it. Thank you in advance.
the pattern moves to the right, and then the rules are: if two matching shapes overlap each other, they become the other shape (since we have square and dot only), if two different shapes overlap each other, they cancel each other out and are removed, if there is no overlap, the shape remains what it was. this video has a wrong image for this puzzle, the middle image on row 2 was Dot | Dot on top, and Square | Square on the bottom
@@simuttekek thank you so much!!!
#29 does not make sense for me. 🤔
I got 145+ or more but I got one wrong
23 is confusing.. looks like figures move to the adjacent cell, morphing in the process. I would rather move all figures around within cell
What he did was in each row, you move the first shape to the last (i.e. 123 -> 231), then you move them diagonally downward from right-to-left (1st box in first row moves to 3rd box in second row), and so forth ( 231 -> 312, then RTL downward, and 1st box in second row goes to 3rd box in the last row, voila).
@@schang_lh I know how to solve it, I'm just saying that the way it is animated is a bit confusing. It would be much more clear if 2 and 3 moves to the left, and 1 jumps back to the right.
Isn’t there one missing? 31 is different
he just got 128 without any tip when i have 105 iq; what should i do?….
Genuinely confused by #20 why a specifically? But the limited explanation it could be other answers unless I messed something g
Nm the overlap cancels them out 🤦🏿
Can someone explain Exercise 23 please
I just stared at the solution for that one for like 7 minutes. lol The squares shift to the left one square and down by one square, moving the pattern from the upper row's leftmost square to the lower row's rightmost square.
put on the real 31 riddle...I think you skipped it on purpose
V + P = B what is B ?

1:19
Mostly i got right something with different logic lol
If you're shown how to, I would think you would not get an accurate score. Right?
Seems easy when u Watch this
i am NOT joking i got it right i am 9 yrs. old puzzle 33
Crazy how one questions can be solved many diff ways
i probably never have solved the last two if i did it your way
the way i solved 34 was, there are 1-1-2 distrubution of black dots in every vertical column with two being at the same position, given that they didnt give a lower dot option (my method would have fallen here) i picked the one where it was in the left and the middle
for the white circles i just realized it jumps two spots and if its the same pos as the black circle it gets hidden. (when two white dots arent present one gets hidden)
Answer is A.
Funny, I just counted the dots. Top row was 2 dots, 3 dots, 4 dots. Middle row was 3 dots, 3 dots, 2 dots. Bottom row is 3 dots, 3 dots..
Can't be like the top row then, because top row is 2 dots, 3 dots, 4 dots
Must be like the middle row: 3 dots, 3 dots, 2 dots. Only one of the answers has only 2 dots, so I was like "well shit, this one was easy" :)
some of the puzzles are illogical like 33
33, 34 and 35 are stinking hard. I still don't really see how 33 makes sense even after seeing it explained
You fold the two grey leaves on the top left of the shape but the grey leaf on the top right of the rightmost shape but you do fold the clear leaf on the top left of the leftmost shape to make the shapes below shifting one space to the left. Then you fold the clear and grey leaves on the lower right hand side of the lefftmost shapes but the grey leaf on the rightmost shape..... this puzzle has no chill. How do you find the consistency in that pattern?
I have actually found all of them correctly so... 😎😎
919
aight the last couple are some straight bs. I know its my fault for assuming it will always run in columbs but once it got to diagonals i had no idea what i was doing wrong.
the most useless test on the internet
I got 125
So 145 means there where some wrongs too how do we know his which puzzle was right ?
Bro where is logic
