@ Gavin, it's as good a test as any. It finds out how far you are from the test-writer's opinion of normality, which is what proper autism tests do just as well.

I don't like these no-one likes Kieran Child jokes

*hopes Michael's comment was a joke, but cannot quite tell if it was*

I got 14, so I'm average for a woman. But also, autism doesn't exist. There is no biological difference that can be tested for that you can then look at and say "there's the autism bit. Should we cut it off or leave it in?" All psychological disorders are inventions for us to kid ourselves...

Kieran Child

Gah. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the nail writer. People have a tendency to believe that it's some miracle tool. The balls in the lottery trick DEFINITELY couldn't have been nail-written. That's an absolute definite. You could practice nail writing on ping pong balls your whole life and you wou...

To John, people may not be as readable as he claims, but they are as suggestible. Have a read of 'psychological subtleties' by Steve Shaw and you will get a feel for just how predictable people can be. The mouse in the box 'trick' he did was very similar to a principle in the PS books. As for "...

I love Corby's subtle humour in these.

G is worth 3!? That's insanity.

Kieran Child

This is a nice thread.

Kieran Child

Fair point, hillariously made.
The main thing to notice is that 6 can be flipped as a 9. Once you realise this, the rest of it is just logic to fit together.
Both dice have 0,1,2 on them, and then 3,4,5,6,7,8 are spread over the two dice.
My answer in the book is this:
0,1,2,3,4,5
0,1,2,6,7,8

What a nasty thread.

^ I found that quite funny :roll: Also not quite sure what you're saying about the Russian roulette thing there, but if anyone is going to call that a hoax, or say he admitted it was a hoax then I will get a bit defensive. It wasn't a hoax. He used a blank, which actually could still have killed him...

It had a 2. An average of 23 people would never throw up a 2. Ah well. I concede to you split screen people.

Preferably a recording of it by said children or younger. See if you can think of an animal beginning with U or X, and then watch the video to find out how these problems are overcome.

Oh Phil solved it too, also some other people, but I think I've replied to all of them.

Kieran Child

Matt and Jon have solved it. They get to share the top prize of a high-end fridge.

Thanks, Jimmy.

That's as maybe, but as David points out, a puzzle should never have more than one solution, or it is cooked.

It doesn't have more than one solution. There is only 1 way to please in 6, which is the stip.

One time she realised that there was ingredients she needed to buy so started writing them down:
Lemon, Flour, Eggs, Sugar, Vinegar, Orange, Nutmeg.

I just watched again and I was right:
Chris declares rationals.
Susie says no.
The woman with the smile next to her says "yes. susie said to me 'I've got a 9 I've got a 9' but then she did what you [chris] did and looked it up"

So Chris was allowed a dictionary. That explains it.
