Silent hill im looking at you

15
there is only one coconut-half instead of two at the bottom

answer is 15

>>722898294 (OP)
16 if picture of coconut doesnt matter.
15 if 1 coconut = half value of two.

>>722898294 (OP)
>4 unkowns
>3 equations
Impossible

You can’t tell the answer because you don’t know if one coconut has a different value than two or not

Tomato = 10
Yellow fruit = 4
Round fruit = 2
Answer is 16

>>722898437
>>722898443
imagine not having critical thinking like these two bastards

>>722898503
No proof that 1 coconut half is related to 2 coconut halves.

>>722898437
Bro, they taught three variable algebra when I was 12.

Answer is 0

>>722898443
>>722898570
Be easy on this guy. He can't picture the fruit in his head, that's why he can't do the maths.

ah fuck i said 16
you got me

If you pass second place what place are you in

If it takes 10 minutes for 10 printers to copy 10 papers how many minutes would it take 50 printers to print 50 copies

If it takes 50 days to build a house and the progress to build the house is doubled everyday how many days would it take for half the house to be completed

>>722898294 (OP)
I don't get how this is easier for people than XYZ. It's more confusing like this.

>>722898294 (OP)
If the single half of the coconut means half of the value of the 2 halves of coconut then 15. If its another unrelated value related to it then its 14+half coconut

>>722898294 (OP)
The answer is smoothie.

>>722898294 (OP)
the answer is the coconut had a sniper rifle and destroyed the banana so it doesn't count meaning it's 11

>>722898570
Retards like this come into existence when you only mechanically learn math instead of understanding it and its usage.

The answer to these is always 0 or an infinite amount.

In this case I'll go with infinite.

Let's break it down step by step using the fruit symbols as variables:
Step 1: Identify the value of each fruit

Equation 1: + + = 30 3 = 30 = 10

Equation 2: + + = 18 We already know = 10 10 + 2() = 18 2() = 8 = 4

Each bunch of bananas () is 3 bananas, so: = 4 ÷ 3 = 1.33 (or 4/3)

Equation 3: - = 2 We know = 4 4 - = 2 = 2 = 1 (since = 2 halves = 2 × )
Final Equation:

+ + = ?? Substitute the values: 1 + 10 + 4 = 15
Final Answer: 15

>>722898882
Just say 49, anon

answer this

>>722898294 (OP)
lets see
>apples = 10
>therefore banana = 4
>therefore coconut = 1, though Im not sure why they show two halves instead of two individual halves like they did for bananas and apples. Im assuming its a trick, if not, they = 2
therefore the answer is 15, 16 if they fucked up the coconut accidentally.

I was learning simultanious equasions at 12, I was pretty smart and was put in the advanced classes, but even normal kids learn this sort of thing early

All anons are wrong, the apple in the puzzle is rotten on the inside and is only worth 5

>>722901635
276?

>>722901136
It takes 50 days to build a house. Every day the progress to completion is doubled. That means every N-1 day is equal to 50% of the N day. Since day 50 is 100% then 50-1 = 100 *.5 which equals 50% progress. So it takes 49 days for half the house to be completed.

>>722901685
yeah, would've been easy if I knew what a magic square is

>>722901520
now write a program in prolog to solve this

>>722901635
never seen this one before, i'll take a crack at it.
looks like its a number pad, 1-9 so the missing numbers are 2, 6 and 7. Working off of that assumption you need to put those three numbers in the right order?

"twice seven days" if there was a 1 and 4 id use those for 14, but twice seven could just mean 2 - 7 here.
So, 276 would be my first, lazy answer without thinking about it too much.
"makes the new moon full" not sure yet about that, could be flavour text as a new moon takes roughly 2 weeks to become a full moon.
"plus one is the key to the square as well"
not sure how that relates to 6 in my lazy answer, nor what the square is unless its related to a game object

if this isnt a key pad thats 1-9, if have to think about it much more.

>>722898713
2nd
10 minutes
You would reach the halfway point at the start of the last day of building the house (2nd last day would be just barely short of halfway)

>>722901781
I got it, I just meant it was specifically -worded- weird.
the first question says "you pass second place" but that can mean different things to different people, did you pass 2nd place - the racer or 2nd place - the position for example
not too bad but could be clearer
The last question I understood, but
"the progress to build the house is doubled each day"
is just a bit vague, one could also read that as the required progress, or that its relative
I got it because ive seen a similar question before, but this would stump many people if it were on an exam or something because its not really clear what exactly they meant by progress is doubled.

not a big deal, but this is the kind of shit they provided illustrations with I guess.

>>722902123
they did, you just keep reposting it for some reason.

>>722898713
>first two questions are reading comprehension tests
>third one is random unrelated trap question that tricks you into thinking it follows the sequence set up by the previous questions just to get a cheap gotcha
Why are puzzle games like this?

>>722902469
Well none of these questions should appear on a serious exam, unless that exam was testing somebody's patience. They're designed to either trick you or surprise you.

8th (it's mario kart)
5 days (you bought 50 HP all-in-ones and half of them "ran out of ink" and need $500 servicing)
$3.50

Simple one. Draw a line from boxes A to A, B to B, and C to C without touching any of the other boxes.

How does one get better at puzzles? I couldn't finish Baba is You (I did about 90% of it) but the last few puzzles filtered me, and I have too much of an ego to look up any hints or guides

>>722902616
B<>B going above the left C
C<>C going below the right B
A<>A going outside the image and either to the left of the left B or right of the right C

>>722898294 (OP)
15

>>722902210
"twice seven days" = 14, "plus one" so 15 is the key number yes and then you can notice each row adds up to 15, by that you can assume the final row needs to add to 15 as well

I got that far, but now it's just a guess as to which numbers adding up to 15 are in the final row. Unless you pick up on the "square" hint and realize it's talking about a magic square (all rows, columns, diagonals add up to the same number), now it's easy to work out.

Cool desu

>>722902604
true.
the first one is why I knew it was US based, only the US version of english would call entering 2nd place "passing" 2nd place
to anyone else, youre in 1st, since you dont pass something until you 'pass' it.
The only reason id answer 2nd is because 1st is too obvious and no question would be THAT easy, so you assume from the get go that its a trick.

the second question is just a classic gotcha reading test to filter out migrants.

the third is probably one youd get a picture with, and ironically it makes sense the employees would all be lazy migrants who stop fucking working until they crack the whip on the last day

>>722902616
>without touching any of the other boxes.
So I can touch the other lines? That seems too easy.

>>722902823
>only the US version of english would call entering 2nd place "passing" 2nd place
It's more of the sense of passing as in moving pass something. The question doesn't specify but most people would read it as a competition like a race in which case passing 2nd place means running ahead of 2nd place, which puts you in 2nd place. It's not using the word pass here to mean enter.

>>722902691
>I have too much of an ego to look up any hints or guides
do NOT look up guides, being told how to do it wont let you learn how to do it.
you need to understand why the answer is what it is, not just what the answer is.

hints can help, but its hard to find a hint that doesnt just contain a spoiler to the answer
best thing you can do is step away and come back later, different mind, rethink it from the start, most people get blocked because they forget to rethink old ideas, and get locked in a dead end of thought.

>>722902754
thats a cool, and smart puzzle honestly, but it does depend on knowing what the square means, and I dont think ive ever heard of the magic square personally.
so the answer was
2 - 7 - 6 ... which is hillarious as that means my lazy
>oh, its a keypad
>oh, we need to place 2 6 and 7
>oh, twice 7, so 2 - 7 and I guess 6 last
wouldve worked.

>>722898294 (OP)
15?

>>722903063
Yeah I know how they meant it, if you asked anyone here what you meant by passing 2nd place, theyd probably say "well, you passed 2nd place so presumably you are 1st" but I suppose you could also pass backwards down into 3rd, technically, though no one would ever say that in that way.
Here youd say you "took" 2nd place if you ended up there, to keep the idea of "passing" specific to the position and not the racer itself.

>>722903287
I really don't think there are any real world usage of the phrase "he passed 2nd place" which is referring to entering 1st place and not moving ahead of the current 2nd place person.

>>722903148
>2 - 7 - 6 ... which is hillarious as that means my lazy wouldve worked.
yea it's pretty funny how it didn't even occur to me to try the missing numbers

>>722902684
the trick to the puzzle is to realise some rooms have 5 doors and they are a problem
4 door rooms are fine, as you just go in-and-out once on each edge, but a 5 door room is impossible to not get trapped on. if there were only 2 such rooms, youd know you need to start and end in those rooms
but there is 3 of them., the only way that is possible to handle is to wrap around the whole lot at least once

>>722898294 (OP)
Are they worse than RE puzzles?

>>722898294 (OP)
the real cunt move would be to have the banana bunches have different number of bananas

>>722902616
Reminds me of this one

>>722902684
>>722903796
im honestly stumped
the three 5 door rooms seem to make it impossible
the only ways to handle a 5 door room is to start inside, and leave
>OUT-IN-OUT-IN-OUT
or, to end the puzzle in that room
>IN-OUT-IN-OUT-IN (trapped inside)

if there were two rooms, its easy, start in one of the 5 door rooms and end in the other. Doesnt matter that you are trapped since, youre done.
but, there are 3 rooms. Entering a 5 door room will always result in being trapped. Therefore, its impossible to escape that room unless you started in it, with 3 of those rooms, one room will always be left with one door unused.

Logically I cannot see a way around that without cheating. So either im missing the solution trick, or its a troll question.

These ones don't make sense because you're missing information

>>722901520
>>722902691
These ones are unreasonable to simulate in your head with all of the rules in play. You need a program that can run these to make them reasonable

With that thinking there is also no proof that all the apples are worth the same

There's no further context, you need the last row to activate the keypad.

this is incorrect.

the apples cost 15.
true.

So this is one of those weird ones where the numbers are being used in place of x,y etc. right? How do we know the result number isn't also a stand in symbol rather than a true value? I saw a problem like this in University and the answer was "we can't know the actual result, the closest we can say is that it has to be *more* than this number at the very least" I assume this puzzle has a solution similar to that

Nope. That was what I also thought when I tried to solve it. I think I gave up and looked up the answer online. It was so fucking dumb I couldn't believe it....

In the 90s I was a kid and played the game based on Rendesvouz with Rama.
Great game, had to squeeze my brain to make through it.
Had to take half an inch of sheets of paper full of notes, and to pass a set of numeric puzzles I had to go to my father and ask him to teach me radix.
And the last puzzle required a code to defuse a bomb: the first 20 numbers of the Fibonacci sequence.

Great game. It gave me brain cells... and made my life 10-20 years shorter
