    Screw long tests that take ages. Let's see what you're made of in one minute. Three questions. 80% of people who do this test fail to get all three answers right.


    1. A bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs $1 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?

    2. If it takes five machines five minutes to make five widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?

    3. In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads. Every day, the patch doubles in size. If it takes 48 days for the patch to cover the entire lake, how long would it take for the patch to cover half of the lake?

    80%? Who keeps track of these stats?

    Not an IQ test but just something people would answer without thinking properly.

    Cue the QI Klaxon for:

    1) 10 cents
    2) 100 minutes
    3) 24 days

    this is a joke

    x + ($1.00 + x) = $1.10
    $1.00 + 2x = $1.10
    2x = $1.10 – $1.00
    2x = $0.10

    Solve for x:
    x = $0.05

    Let's be sure?

    x + ($1.00 + x) = $1.10, so
    $0.05 + ($1.00 + $0.05) = $1.10
