Ok, I was bored today since my fingers hurt and I can't play guitar, so I found this logic test, quite fun actually, even though some of the questions are a bit stupid.

http://www.proveyourlogic.com/

Try to beat it!

EDIT: Well, it doesn't really have anything to do with how good you are at logical thinking, but it's still great fun.

Posted by: Smikey2006 Jan 26 2008, 05:57 PM

I clearly have no logic.. i understood number 1.. number 2 stumped me i had to guess and check.. i tried using numbers but 15,20,20,6,6,19,19,5,14 told me nothing

figured it out

Posted by: Stevie·Ray·Vaughn Jan 26 2008, 06:05 PM

I got the first one, then trial-and-errored the 2nd one, got the 3rd one, and now im stumped on the 4th one

Posted by: Smikey2006 Jan 26 2008, 06:07 PM

now im stuck on 8

Posted by: Stevie·Ray·Vaughn Jan 26 2008, 06:10 PM

Whats 4? haha

Posted by: Fsgdjv Jan 26 2008, 06:23 PM

I actually struggled with both 4 and 8, but you'll get it..

Posted by: Smikey2006 Jan 26 2008, 06:24 PM

Posted by: Stevie·Ray·Vaughn Jan 26 2008, 06:25 PM

Posted by: Stevie·Ray·Vaughn Jan 26 2008, 06:31 PM

I guessed and got #4 right, but i have no idea how I got it

Posted by: DeepRoots Jan 26 2008, 06:34 PM

i'll pm you so not to spoil for others

Posted by: Robin Jan 26 2008, 06:37 PM

Haha I'm on 2 now, I don't get it. I tried counting spaces beetween the letters etc. haha, doesn't seem to make sense to me.

(Don't tell me anything though, I wanna try to make it myself )

Posted by: DeepRoots Jan 26 2008, 06:39 PM

think simple robin way more simple than that

Posted by: ZakkWylde Jan 26 2008, 06:48 PM

It's tough but fun I'm stuck on lvl 5

Posted by: Robin Jan 26 2008, 06:49 PM

I'm so stupid

Posted by: Fsgdjv Jan 26 2008, 06:52 PM

No I actually have no idea why the answer is the way it is, when I saw it I just wrote the right answer on my first try without thinking So don't think that much and you'll get it

Posted by: DeepRoots Jan 26 2008, 06:53 PM

Posted by: Robin Jan 26 2008, 06:58 PM

I know, I thought I knew what it was, then I asked Gen and I was right, but I still dont understand WHY!

Now I'm on six btw Pretty easy so far.

Posted by: ZakkWylde Jan 26 2008, 07:02 PM

I don't get number 8. There must be a trick to solve it...

Posted by: DeepRoots Jan 26 2008, 07:04 PM

If anyone can get question 8 PM me before somebody in my house gets hurt

well...im not that upset but iv been staring at this thing for ages.....

Posted by: Smikey2006 Jan 26 2008, 07:10 PM

Beat it took long enough sum r really wierd! any help just ask

Posted by: Fsgdjv Jan 26 2008, 07:10 PM

Do you want the answer or just a hint? I don't wanna pm you a spoiler!

Posted by: Fsgdjv Jan 26 2008, 07:11 PM

Nice smikey! I just can't understand why they made the easiest question in the entire quiz the last question..

EDIT: Double post ftw

Posted by: ZakkWylde Jan 26 2008, 07:16 PM

My brain is melting! Number 9 makes no sense at all...

Posted by: JVM Jan 26 2008, 07:18 PM

I don't get 5 Hint?

[edit] Oh and can someone explain why the answer to four was the thing it was? I came up with an elabourate formula based on their answers and somehow it worked

Posted by: Smikey2006 Jan 26 2008, 07:33 PM

hint for 5 : Think about the picture(boat)

Posted by: Smikey2006 Jan 26 2008, 07:34 PM

its tricky because you are not looking for the little details

Posted by: DeepRoots Jan 26 2008, 07:41 PM

yeh write it down and circle them if you need to, will make it easier. 10 is a little tricky..

edit:man im so stupid, 10 is simple, my little brother solved it. shameful

Posted by: Davidian Jan 26 2008, 07:53 PM

I don't even find the first one god I feel stupid !

Posted by: Iluha Jan 26 2008, 07:56 PM

Stuck at 12, anyone could please give me a hint?

Posted by: Xranthoius Jan 26 2008, 08:04 PM

Lol.... could somebody pm me the answer to 2!!!! Hehe...


Nevermind, thanks Fsgdjv

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Jan 26 2008, 08:18 PM

Hah! Always knew I was smart - I got all the way through and got all except one of them right the first time

Posted by: Xranthoius Jan 26 2008, 08:20 PM

Omg nice! I can't pass five now...

Posted by: Fsgdjv Jan 26 2008, 08:23 PM

But then again, you are the allmighty Andrew, so it's not athat weird.

Posted by: DeepRoots Jan 26 2008, 08:25 PM

then perhaps you can pm a hint to 12 my way ....


pwetty pwease....

Posted by: Stevie·Ray·Vaughn Jan 26 2008, 08:45 PM

Grrr this is hard! I can't get nuimber 5!

Posted by: Robin Jan 26 2008, 09:08 PM

These damn riddles are so ridicilously obvious, but still I use hours on them......... I'm totally pissed off right now, hahaha.

Posted by: at lights end Jan 26 2008, 09:12 PM

number 12.
HOW DO YOU DO IT!?!??

edit: i did it, but have no idea how.

edit: yes i do.

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Jan 26 2008, 09:41 PM

That's a good point, makes a lot of sense



I might - PM me the question you are stuck on

Posted by: Owen Jan 26 2008, 09:43 PM

I lodged on 12, I have to admit guessing most of the numbers ones, they didnt make sense to me, how many questions are there overall?

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Jan 26 2008, 09:47 PM

Only on 12? Theres like 75 of them ...

Posted by: Smikey2006 Jan 26 2008, 09:49 PM

im calling shinnaigans on the 75 hint for 12.. just kinda add them .. erm i got the answer so pm if u wanna know it!

Posted by: JVM Jan 26 2008, 09:51 PM

Ha

But I still need number 5, just don't get it

Posted by: Owen Jan 26 2008, 09:51 PM

Personally I think the person that made this quiz should forget the logic and go back to learning basic grammar and spelling, some of the errors in here so far are annoying me.

"How much inches did the bookworm travel?"

Bah.

Posted by: Smikey2006 Jan 26 2008, 09:53 PM

#5 Hint 1 - Think Boat + sailing stop and go

Posted by: JVM Jan 26 2008, 09:54 PM

Thats a ridiculous answer. I thought of it almost right away but it doesn't even fit so I never even tried it.

Posted by: Robin Jan 26 2008, 10:25 PM

Indeed, his english is ridicilous.


But then again, so is my brain..

Posted by: ZakkWylde Jan 26 2008, 10:34 PM

All done. Now I am tired, angry and wasted a lot of time...

Posted by: skennington Jan 26 2008, 10:46 PM

I've got 5 but stuck on 6. PM me and i'll give it to ya if you help me with 6

Edit: See you found it. I'm done, The person that came up with this has way too much time on ther hands. Oh, and by the way, i'm still stumped on 6. I thin I'll go fish or hunt or something

Posted by: JVM Jan 26 2008, 11:05 PM

Okay 12 is definitely stumping me O_o Why isn't it 7?

Posted by: Davidian Jan 26 2008, 11:06 PM

Can someone give me a hint for 8?
I really don't get it

And the solution for 2 please? (PM)
I got it, but I can 't see why it's that answer...

Posted by: JVM Jan 26 2008, 11:09 PM

I still don't understand why the answer to 4 is what it is, Skennington just think about what day it could be that one of them is lying, where the day before that the other one had to be lying.

Davidian, I still don't know why 8 is what it is either O_o, if I did I'd give you a hint. Can anyone tell me why 4 and 8 were what they were?

Posted by: JVM Jan 26 2008, 11:21 PM

Ahh I get 4, thanks Stevie and davidian

But I still don't see why 8 is what it is.

Posted by: Stevie·Ray·Vaughn Jan 26 2008, 11:27 PM

Thanks for the help JVM, i figured out 5 and 6!

Posted by: Owen Jan 26 2008, 11:42 PM

I finished it

Andrew lied

Posted by: JVM Jan 26 2008, 11:44 PM

Okay now a hint for 12. And yeah he lied it even says theres 25 in the "how to play" section

Posted by: Owen Jan 26 2008, 11:49 PM

It doesnt say what order the books are in, they could be in any order.

[1][2][3] or [1][3][2]

All you know is that the bookworm starts at 1 and ends at 3.

Good luck!

Posted by: JVM Jan 26 2008, 11:59 PM

If it's 123, then the worm goes through the two inches of the pages of the first book, + the end cover and first cover of the second book so another .5, two inches of book 2s pages, so 4.5, end cover of 2 and first cover of 3 for another .5 or 5, and then two inches of 3s pages which is 7 which is not the answer.

If it's 132, then it goes through 2 inches of the first book, back cover of the first book and front cover of the third book for .5 (2.5) and then 2 inches of the third books pages for 4.5 which is also not the answer.

Still confused

Posted by: Smikey2006 Jan 27 2008, 12:02 AM

some discription sorta did what i did.. maybe i calculated it wrong and got the right answer 2 covers which is .5 + 1 whole book which is 2.5 =.....?

Posted by: kevin-riff-after-riff Jan 27 2008, 12:02 AM

hmm i think i am one of those people that are classified as a idiot lol cant get past 2

Posted by: JVM Jan 27 2008, 12:03 AM

Okay but that doesn't make sense to me Glad to be past it though Thanks.

Posted by: swingline Jan 27 2008, 12:22 AM

I cannot get number 5.

Posted by: JVM Jan 27 2008, 12:24 AM

16 is driving me nuts

Posted by: swingline Jan 27 2008, 12:29 AM

I'm lost.

Posted by: JVM Jan 27 2008, 12:31 AM

Okay I get it now

Posted by: Owen Jan 27 2008, 12:40 AM

Concentrate on the makeup of the actual words in the puzzle rather than the puzzle itself

Posted by: Davidian Jan 27 2008, 12:42 AM

Someone knows something about 18?

And about 8 too... I still don't know why it's that answer...

Posted by: Nobody Jan 27 2008, 01:40 AM

Wow this is great

^ 8 isn't hard. This red-pinkish thing is the answer: (Copy it to Notepad to read it. Notepad will copy only the symbols, not the fontsize and fontcolor changes i've made.)
Looks kinda stupid but now only those who want to see the answer will see it :]

You just have to find the way the first four numbers change the result. How to solve:
2222 = 0 => It doesn't matter that we have a "2" in our 2581;
5555 = 0 => The same for the "5";
7111 = 0 => The "1" also doesn't have any "value";

Now we just have to find the "value" for "8".

5531 = 0 => "3" also doesn't have a "value";
9312 = 1 => "3","1" and "2" don't have values(beacause of the previous conclusions) and from this we know that "9" has the value of 1.

8809 = 6 => from "0000 = 4" we know that every "0" has a value of 1, and from the previous conclusion we know that "9" is equal to 1 too. So when whe subtract them from the equation we have left:
88 = 4 => "8" = 2.

In 2581 we have only the "8" has value(2) and this means that 2581 = 2.

HAhahh wow didn't know I've thought of so many things while searching for the answer

Posted by: JVM Jan 27 2008, 02:43 AM

Okay, is #20 actually asking what it says it asks, or is it solveable without outside knowledge? Because it seems to me there are many ways of measuring a mountains height, disputes, etc. So basically is it a logic problem or a knowledge problem? If it's logic I'll keep thinking about it but if not what is the answer?

Posted by: Davidian Jan 27 2008, 11:22 AM

Thanks, Nobody!
(Lol, this sounds funny)

Posted by: Vinicitur Jan 27 2008, 11:25 AM

It's a logic problem and you're gonna kick yourself in the ass when you figure it out.
I know I did

Posted by: Davidian Jan 27 2008, 11:32 AM

PM for 18 please?
(It's the one with the boots...)

Posted by: Vinicitur Jan 27 2008, 11:35 AM

If you tell me how to PM, I've never done that before

Posted by: Nobody Jan 27 2008, 12:13 PM

That's what I like about this nick My favourite is in Skype:
"Nobody says:"

Grrr... I'm stuck on 16 for almost half and hour. Can someone give a bit more easier advice than Owen's?

Hristian

Posted by: Owen Jan 27 2008, 01:44 PM

Think about it

Spoileeerz:

Twice in every moment, once in every minute, but never in a thousand years.



It tells us everest is the tallest mountain in the world. It's telling you this as a fact. If someone hadnt discovered the mountain, do you think that it makes everest non-existant as the tallest mountain? No, because even though its not been discovered, its still there.

Posted by: Ctodd Jan 27 2008, 01:56 PM

okay, whats the deal with 17???

i dont think anyone else has had a problem with this one except me

is the answer depend on information in the previous question?

help please!!!

Posted by: Owen Jan 27 2008, 02:30 PM

No, it doesnt, same principle once you get to a particular stage though.

It says on the page with the 'code' or 'jibberish' page -1, so try going back a letter on each letter of the code to reveal the mystery.

Posted by: Davidian Jan 27 2008, 02:33 PM

I'm stuck on 24 now
I can't see any more triangles than I have now

Posted by: Owen Jan 27 2008, 02:35 PM

I thought there was only ten at first, but then you realise that theres triangles made out of triangles and your like "whha?"

Posted by: Davidian Jan 27 2008, 02:38 PM

Can you PM me the answer please?
I have 34, but it's not that

Posted by: Owen Jan 27 2008, 02:54 PM

Coincidentally, did anyone notice that it accepts both 'money' and 'nothing' for the first question?

Posted by: Davidian Jan 27 2008, 02:56 PM

Haha, nice one

I got through it
Now I'll go play the guitar!
That game stole al lot of time

Posted by: Nobody Jan 27 2008, 03:10 PM

Wow it sure did! Damn this is no logic at all.. For most of them it was much easier to write a simple program to compute the answer. And this means that either my PC is very good at logic or there is no logic in most of the questions

And yeah - it's time for guitar.. All this thinking isn't good :]

Posted by: Xranthoius Jan 27 2008, 03:35 PM

I can't open the link anymore and I just realized what #5 was...

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jan 27 2008, 03:39 PM

Can somebody PM me how to do 12. It is very frustrating.

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jan 27 2008, 03:43 PM

Doesn't matter I got it finally

Posted by: Toni Suominen Jan 27 2008, 07:46 PM

I couldn't get through the second test before trying almost every alphabet I guess I'm just stupid

Posted by: Stevie·Ray·Vaughn Jan 27 2008, 07:52 PM

Hints on 17 anyone?

Posted by: Vinicitur Jan 27 2008, 08:10 PM

It's a code. Look at the picture carefully and try to see how you can modify it.

Posted by: Kaneda Jan 28 2008, 03:51 AM

I actually think most of the questions avoided falling into the "why not just make a computer calculate it" trap that most such "tests" fall into. That said, I've seen pretty much every single one of these (or a variation of them) in other areas...

One that's rarely used, and rather clever, and that I like in spite of having gotten really bored with these "find the next number" puzzles, is the one that goes like this:



Now find the next line (the line that has "?" for now)

In my opinion, though, these kinds of puzzles should really not be confused with tests of logic, or intelligence. They're mainly tests of "do you think like I do?"

Can't say where I got it from - then it's too easy to find the answer on the web ;o) (don't cheat )

Posted by: Tuubsu Jan 30 2008, 08:45 PM

is it?
1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221
1113213211... And so and so on...
