    Default Okay, new brain teaser/challenge

    And this one cannot possibly spark a disagreement Well, at least between anyone reading here.

    Anyways, here's the deal. It's a Japanese "game" meant to test IQ allegedly. I dunno if it's true or not.

    http://freeweb.siol.net/danej/riverIQGame.swf

    Is the link (flash game). Maybe you've seen it, maybe you haven't.

    Here are the rules since I doubt many of you can read Japanese (I can't).

    "Everybody has to cross the river".

    The following rules apply:

    Only 2 persons on the raft at a time

    The father can not stay with any of the daughters, without their mother's presence

    The mother can not stay with any of the sons, without their father's presence

    The thief (striped shirt) can not stay with any family member,if The Policeman is not there

    Only the Father, the Mother and the Policeman know how to operate the raft

    To start click on the big blue circle on the right.

    To move the people click on them.

    To move the raft click on the pole on the opposite side of the river.

    No doubt some will say "Man, I beat that in 5 seconds!". If you did, grats, here's a box of Wheaties.

    For the rest..enjoy .

    It is?? I've never seen or done anything similiar before. I'll leave this for others to have a go. I'm not a big fan of this type of thing.

    that took me entirely way too long with too many screw ups. what really did me in is the fact that you have to leave the theif on one side by himself at some point durring it, which seemed counter intuitive to me. but i guess i just suck at transporting families and criminals accross rivers

    The type of game/test, yeah, there are others like it. This is more detailed then others, but the underlying idea is similar to other tests I've seen.

    I think I figured it out even without going to the site. It's not much different from Clue, which I can do in minimal time since it is all a simple formula I figured out. That's what I do - figure out what's at the bottom of any processes. Sorry if I'm a spoiler.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    wow, im impressed. reminds me of the time when a friend gave me a table puzzle. i figured it out without even opening the box. hell, i didn't even undo the shrinkwrap. i did some calculations, and low and behold, the pieces interlock based on their convexities and concavities. and had i put them all together in actuallity, it would have been the statue of liberty. fealt really good to solve it in 3 seconds.

    I've done MasterMind in four moves just after I learned the game. Though it did take me about 20 minutes more than my opponent. After I figure it out, following type, I'm bored with it. But I haven't figured out Rubic's Cube.

    For a good Rubic's Cube solution, check out:

    Most people live dejectedly in wordly joys or sorrows. They sit on the sidelines and do not join in the dance. The knights of infinity are dancers and possess elevation. They rise up and fall down again, and this is no mean pastime, nor unpleasant to behold.

    That was back in the dayds I had some time for games when socializing. Now, I'm just trying to figure out politics and who else is lying to me, another type of game.

    okay, so I did it in eight minutes, but I thought that was stupid if there's a parent AND a police officer on one side that the other parent couldn't be left with an opposite sex child.

    Took me about 15 minutes...Cally, you're not dumb! These exercises become easier the more you do them- people that get this one quickly are not seeing this type of problem for the first time!

    Well, fuck me. After probably 20 minutes last night I said screw this. No way is it possible! SO I went to bed. It bugged me that I couldn't do it, and I felt stupid, so I thought about it. I did some figuring in my head, and decided to try it again today. Took me like 2 minutes to do it this time. WOOHOO. I did it.
    I've never done one of these before, not like a game. I've done similar word problems. But yeah, it had me stumped, and it can be done
    Man did that thing piss me off...

    Arrgh! Just the description gave me flashbacks of my GRE exam for grad school and all those damn questions about waitresses serving different pies on different days of the week and painting different rooms of the house different colors and so forth. I must have taken 20 practice exams before the real thing...I'll likely hate them forever.
