Answer: Cows drink water. If you said "milk," please do not attempt the next question. Your brain is obviously over stressed and may even overheat. It may be that you need to content yourself with reading something more appropriate, such as Children's World. If you said "water," proceed to question 3.

Cows DO drink milk. All mammals drink milk. That's why they are mammals.

Also, 'Green Bricks' would be a perfectly valid answer for question 3 given the prepositions of the question. Around here, 'green houses' are more commonly referred to as 'hot houses' anyway.

I've seen this test before so I already knew the answers, but given the poorly-written nature of some of the questions it irks me that the writers have chosen to rag on people for drawing perfectly valid conclusions. I realise this test is trying to be funny, but the writer's 'assholic' sense of humour doesn't really appeal to my taste [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img]

Good test and very funny. The only problem is that the answer to number 5 is not ONE degree but THIRTY degrees (unless your watch isn't working properly). The hour hand (that's the little one for those of you who failed question 1 ... hehehe) sweeps a full circle - 360 degrees - in 12 hours, or 30 degrees in one hour. For those of you with wall clocks with all 24 hours shown on them, the correct answer is 15 degrees. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Now I can go back on my medication. LOL
you clearly didnt read the question

Answer: One degree. If you said, "360 degrees" or anything other than "one degree," you are to be congratulated on getting this far, but you are obviously out of your league. Turn in your pencil, and exit the room. Everyone else proceed to the final question.
the assumption is that the clock is not a normal clock, and that the hand only moves 1/60 of a degree a minute. therefore in an hour 1/60 * 60 = 1 degree. it was a trick question, like the others. :-/
