*135 IQ puts you in the top 1 percentile of the human population*
Let’s say that you have 25 horses, and you want to pick the fastest 3 horses out of those 25. In each race, only 5 horses can run at the same time because there are only 5 tracks. What is the minimum number of races required to find and rank the 3 fastest horses without using a stopwatch?
I have posted the solution in Post 50
On the basis of your answers and factoring in the time taken to give them,
I create the following IQ classes
1)You have no Idea wtf is happening(read question and scoot away)- SAdly your IQ is <95
2)You understood that at least 5 races would be done and thats about, it your Iq is 100-110
3)You Immediately answered 6, but failed to account that top ones from each heat may not beat the 2nd or 3rd from other heat - your IQ is 110-120
4)You did realize that the answer is >6 but got lost in the nitty grities afterwards - your IQ is 120-134 the upper end is decided by how close you are to the correct answer.
5)you answered correct (check post 50). If no external help was there,
I award you 135+ IQ. You can now gladly join the above 135 IQ crew
let ur 5 minutes get over so you can look deeper in yourself and contemplate afterwards

random guess...6
Edit: obviously for the same reasons as others put 6 but if in one of the 5 preliminary races you somehow raced the 3 fastest and only picked the winner to race the 6th this theory wouldnt workLast edited by notoriousbeast; 11-10-2014 at 09:58 AM.
