Prove Your Logic

[ParadigmShifter]

It's the one that shouldn't be doing what he/she's doing....

I,m stuck on the boots question!?! I must be missing something...

24 boots, 6 right browns, 6 right blacks, 6 left browns, 6 left blacks....

So if I pick 19.. I should have at least one of each?!? Where Am I wrong?

You only need a pair of black or brown boots, not one of each.

I'm in the list now too! (2nd attempt, had a think about question 5 and came back to it, the rest weren't so hard though, I didn't need to restart again).

Oldest CFC Off Topic person to make the list so far

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Done, though I did my actual location rather than CFC lest it get deleted

Scratch the above, I'm tied for oldest CFC off topic participant

I am stack on 8 and i have no idea ...

Ugh, #24 is another of those stupid shape ones.

Just count the classes of different triangles, i.e individual triangles, 2 triangles making a bigger triangle, 3 triangles, then the ones involving the central pentagon. Because of the symmetry there will be a multiple of 5 of each type.

I thought the logic one (with the very bad grammar) was the hardest (after the lateral thinking throw/pick up one which I'm not great at), but it's not hard to enumerate the 6 possibilities and work it out.

The bookworm one made me think after I got it wrong first time as well... until I realised my error (although it depends upon the orientation of the books too).

The who was the killer one might not apply in some countries either...

That was a good one, probably the best.

8 is 2 by the way.

EDIT: Spoiler for another hint

Spoiler :

The number four could be 0 or 1 depending on the font they used too, they used a font where it is zero I think

EDIT2:

Spoiler :

In fact, they copped out and didn't use the number 4 at all!

 

[Masquerouge]

I found it easier this way:

Spoiler :

the sum of each row is the row number cubed.

well I'm guess I stupid... cos here's what I did:

Spoiler :

I got average of each row * number of each row... I then saw that the average of each row was the square of that row.

But I did not realize that X^2*X = X^3

 

[ParadigmShifter]

I worked out the pattern for the one you are talking about Masquerouge, but then failed to do the multiplication correctly (a factor of 10 too large).

I'm gonna post my maths degree back to the university I think

I found this one quite stupid, because it will only accept one out of 3 correct answers and you have only two tries. So this one is not solvable by "logic" without failing once, if you're unlucky

I'm stuck in level 11, could someone please give me some hints? Or at least tell me should I answer just with the number of the page(for example: 1) or with the word page also(for example: page 1)?

I got it on my second go, after realising what my mistake was, took me a while to work out what the mistake actually was though

As long as you assume the books are stacked the correct way up and in the correct sequence left to right, the answer is clear (but the 'obvious' answer is wrong of course!).

Just the number worked for me.

 

[Hitti-Litti]

w00t! I figured out number 11!

 

[dutchfire]

beat it

where's the list?

 

[Masquerouge]

beat it

where's the list?

Go back to the home page, there's a link at the bottom

 

[dutchfire]

In between Fifty Fiftyson and Fifty Fiftyson
We're taking over the list!

(looks like this was made by bulgarians btw)

 

[Chukchi Husky]

I couldn't get past the first one.

Now that was tough to find ...
I much rather questions rather than level 8 type of Mathematical problems...

 

[Catharsis]

Beat it! Although I had to Google #5.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

I liked #8 it because it was a topology question. Took me a while to realise it though...

EDIT: I nearly googled #5 but just thought about it for 10 minutes and it came to me. Boomerang was my first guess I do cryptic crosswords so I would have been ashamed to google it.

 

[QuoVadisNation]

Done.

They'll add the word 'logic' to anything, nowadays, won't they? The amount of assumptions in most of the questions made my eyes hurt. (3 attempts, one successful run)
