12/13

I missed the first one. I have no idea what a niece is, I've never been good at any of that family tree stuff.

You scored 12 out of 13
You rating: Wow! That's impressive!

Just the pill one that got me, although I honestly can't say I haven't heard the other 12 questions a million times before, so...go figure.

Bonus question: A plane crashes on the border between the United States and Canada. Where do they bury the survivors?

Under the tool shed with the other kidnapped victims.

(Though I actually don't know if there are any actual laws against such a thing. I've never read one. Has anyone else?)

The answer that the site gives is "No, it's not illegial." I, however, answered
yes and got it wrong. It really ought to be "yes, it's illegal to marry dead
people, you perverted perv, you." I don't know if there are actual laws against
marrying the dead, but you certainly can't enter into a marriage if the other
person does not agree to it. A dead person, after all, cannot agree to anything.

Vader, the question isn't "Is it illegal..." (in which case, the answer would have been 'yes'). The question is "Is it legal...", so the answer being 'no' is actually correct.

I think you read it wrong. :wink:

The question with the pills is asking how long they will last. That's not asking how long they will be effective for. Just how long they will last before all are consumed. At 0 minutes you take 1, at 30 minutes you take the 2nd, at 60 minutes you take the 3rd. So at 60 minutes, all the pills are gone. They last you 60 minutes.

Hopefully I explained that well enough. :P

edit: Oh, and if anyone is interested in learning/practicing these sorts of questions/problems/critical thinking riddles/etc. I HIGHLY recommend a game called Professor Layton and the Curious Village. It's awesome...even though it sometimes makes me want to chuck my nintendo DS out the window in frustration, I've learned a lot.

Typically, if a doctor told you that a single pill would last you 0 minutes, you'd
switch doctors. How long a pill lasts is pretty universally understood as "how
long they are effective for". Though I answered the question correctly, I have
to agree that it's use of language is very misleading.

Rushing off to an appointment, BBS. I have more to say on this subject :lol:

*Edit*
Blah... I'm tired and don't want to say anymore about the subject lol
But, to show just how bad I am at math (darn those decimals), the answer I got for #5 was 16 :doh: And I knew what the answer for #12 was because I've seen the question before, but I did the math in my head and wrote what I actually came up with lol- 5,000.

khh

I got 11/13.

Those I got wrong were "Question 2: How many birthdays does the average man have?", which I object to being wrong about, since a birthday can be both the day you're born and the one you have every day. It's not conclusively defined as just one.
And "Question 9: How many animals of each sex did Moses take on the ark?". Damn trick question.

Start with the first, 30 minutes later take the second, 30 minutes later take the third pill (WHICH ALSO LASTS FOR 30 MINUTES, EVEN IF YOU DONT TAKE ANYTHING AFTERWARDS)

THAT MAKES NINETY MINUTES

That's what I did! But in honesty, it doesn't say the pills actually have an effect. You might as well replace "pill" with "candy" in this sense. So "candy" would last 60mins. However, I think they used the word "pill" to trick you into thinking it has an effect for 30mins

Quiz is a joke, lol. I thought I was kicking it's butt only to get 5 right, haha
