Intellegence Quiz

[Talthyr Malkaviel]

Didn't really think about the Sports one, I know bugger all about baseball and assumed they didn't have those in their terminology. Tsk, I keep making mistakes.

As a side note: Give me 8 pills and I'll be out within quarter of an hour.

Try #8 - if I had 3 pills and took one every half hour I would be out of pills in an hour

True, but thats not what the question asked.

The question said "A doctor gives you 3 pills, he tells you to take one every half hour. How many minutes will the pills last?"
You take the first pill, it lasts 30 minutes. You take the 2nd pill, it also lasts 30 minutes. You take the 3rd pill, and it too lasts 30 minutes.

30 * 3 = 90 minutes.

Well the words of this question also justify the fact that pills may actually last forever ..............

Am I the only one who notices the irony in having spelling errors in the announcement of an intelligence quiz?

Oh, and I'm not gonna bother PM'ing the answers. I've seen most of the questions so many times before that I wasn't fooled by them for even a second; well, except for the fact that the pills question was phrased so badly that it actually doesn't have a clear answer, taking the question literally.
Oh, and I wasn't sure about the baseball one either. But hey, I'm European, I'm not even supposed to care about baseball... It's not that I will lose any sleep over not being familiar with confusing game jargon of a hardly interesting sport.

Hey, don't blame me... that's what we're supposed to do! The regulations of the Union For Foul Demonic Eurotwits And Other Infernal Denizens From Outside Of The Land Of Freedom And All That's Good And Just clearly state we're supposed to take a stab at typical American sports whenever the opportunity arises... It's out of my hand!

[/QUOTE]This reminds me, the time has elapsed, and now I, as a member of the fine country known as England, must make a generic cynical sarcastic remark about americans, followed by yet more denigration of their sports.

Tomorrow: Pointing out every little victory we have against Australians. Every.
