Intelligence Quotient !?!!? (Fun Questions)

[Stormseed]

It was not but I am afraid it could be...and I can only request that it does not get hijacked !

 

[cornflakegirl]

Rory and Rob have already posted all the answers - how much longer do you think this thread will continue if it doesn't get hijacked? (Not that that was my intention.)

 

[Jonmo1]

It's already Hijacked because you're discussing weather or not it was Hijacked....LOL..

For question # 8, the bowling balls... I started thinking that could be a really tricky question. It depends on the size(depth) of the bucket and the weight of the bowling ball. I searched on google, and sure enough, bowling balls of 10 pounds or less will Float. So Neither bowling ball would hit the bottom of the bucket..

But again, depending on depth of the bucket. Surely if you DROPPED the ball into the bucket, most of the water would splash out of the bucket and the ball would still hit the bottom. But if either the bucket was large and deep, or you just PLACED the ball in the bucket instead of dropping it, the ball would float...

That is very interesting, I had not realized that.

For question number 8, I think they would hit at the same time in Canada. Why? Because in Canada, they measure temperature in Centigrade, not Fahrenheit. Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius. So at 30 degrees Celsius and 45 degrees Celsius, both buckets are liquid.

 

[Pugster]

The Canada/ Hawaii difference is to assume that the ice will stay frozen in Canada, but will eventually melt in Hawaii.

The logic question I always liked is;

What is the maximum number of sides of a cube you can see at any one time, without using reflection or other aids and that the sides of the cube can not be seen through?

I beg to differ! I believe that it has to do with the temperature scales each uses (US - Fahrenheit, Canada - Celsius).

Besides, there are two things to consider:
1. A block of ice won't melt instantly;
2. Contrary to what many people may believe, most of the populated parts of Canada are above freezing temperatures for most of the year!

That might be a valid argument if the the question did not specify Celcius or Fahrenheit. But the question did specify Fahrenheit. And it does not matter where the water is. Water at 45 Degrees F is NOT frozen regardless if it's in the Sahara Desert or Antarctica (it might freeze in a while, but at the moment it is not).

Shows you how well I read!
