Here Are 26 Questions — Only People With A High IQ Will Score At Least 15/26

The first question is not correct. Mixing English description and mathematics is not precise. If you said "what is half of two, plus two", then it would be correct - the comma matters. But it is written as a full equation. This is why we don't use English to write equations in mathematics. The rest were pretty trivial.

I made it to the second question. "2. Which of these words is the odd one out?". My answer was Flamingo. It is the only one with three syllables. Because we are talking about WORDS not ANIMALS.

Ridiculously unfair first question. Like others, I shan’t continue. That’s an unsound and imprecise mathematical question.

Agreed. Not an iq test, more of a riddle/teaser. What’s the point.

people who think the answer to number 1 is 3 are the same people that have to use a calculator to figure out what is the change from $1.00 when something cost 79c

I'm not sure BP understands the concept of "high IQ". In any case, if only people with a high IQ can solve these questions, we are doomed.

The real IQ test is how fast you nope out of this horsesh!t.

Most of these questions are not suitable for multiple-choice format. If you ask me what I should light first and list "a match" as one of the options, you've already made the question stupid.

Okay. These aren't IQ questions. Theses are riddles & trick questions...

Got to 21 and went "what....the....fu- oh wait, it's just the days of the week

It doesn’t get any less asinine as it goes on

The first question has nothing to do with intelligence, it is an intentionally misleading question.

Question 4 , really ?

None of these questions are an indicator of intelligence, they are riddles. I have no issue with riddles, but call the quiz what it is, don't try to pull us is with a misleading title!

To me a lot of these were easy.

After the first question and understanding what kind of quiz this is: 25/26. But this has nothing in common with any IQ test I know. So I highly doubt this is one in the first place.

I gave up halfway through. For those who stopped at the first trick question, you missed such delights as "A farmer has 10 cows. All but 3 ran away. How many are left?" and "Nine apples are sitting in a bunch on the counter. You take four of them. How many do you have?". Either I'm a total Mensa level genius, or these questions are *really* dumb (and more designed to trick than to challenge).

This is dumb

That question did Question correctly. When you write a sentence to be read you add or leave out punctuation in order to be clear with you intentions. There was no space or punctuation therfore the question was asking about the math equation per how it written.

1/2*2+2 is 3 - PEDMAS
