I found an IQ Test online today.
I must admit – it was a lot shorter and easier than the one Bart cheated on, during that episode of The Simpsons, some stupidly long time ago! Despite its age, I am yet to see a Kwyjibo on a David Attenborough documentary.
There are only three questions in this quiz, which is called a Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) – don’t worry, it doesn’t mean anything to me, either.
It is reported that over 80% of people get at least one of these questions wrong, with a third getting all three incorrect.
I don’t know how many people got all three correct, but it is certainly possible, as yours truly did exactly that. I feel rather proud. Let’s be honest, here. Had I not scored 100%, I wouldn’t be blogging about it at all!
The three questions are:
- A bat and a ball cost £1.10 in total. The bat costs £1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?
- If it takes five machines five minutes to make five widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?
- 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?
I hope you got on OK, with those questions.
I will post the answers below. But first, a few photos of one member of the ‘one in three’…
The answers:
- 5 pence
- 5 minutes
- 47 days
What do I win?

About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
