take this TEST!!!

[cyanide]

A boy is brought into a hospital by his father. He is severely injured. When he brings the boy to the doctor, the doctor responds, "I'm sorry. I can't operate on him. He's my son."

How could this be?

The man is also the doctor, but he has schizophrenia.

Just a wild guess

[The Other Kevin]

The mom is the doctor.




Easy. I've heard that at least 10 times.

[Abctest123]

yes, as many others have already said in this thread, the reason she killed her sis is so she can see the guy again. apparently your a psycho/serial killer or something crazy if you knew the answer of this question (only if youve never seen this question before)...which kinda makes me one...and others too...

[cyanide]

That was so freaking easy. Couldn't believe I missed that.

[COOLmac©]

okay the answer to my FIRST POST of this thread.

i have never heard of this test ever until the months of July when i was promoted. in a lame attempt to initiate my secondary upgrade to the higher ranks of the career ladder here in the office, one of the boss decide to give me a phsycological test.

i got hold of that story and he wanted to hear what i have to say, he wanted the first thing that pop right out of the moment after i read that thing. so i answered something like a jealousy angle. then they all laugh at me, the whole panel. here's why.

90% of peeps will surely answer of JEALOUSY
why because most of us don't have hidden rage or phsyco minds. we are feed upon media's that jealousy may lead to murder, like in the TV and the movies. we may never experience it first hand but thats the closest thing we logically think as the norm of the population for that account. those who answer here will be hire and passed the test!!!!

8% of peeps may have answered out of this world comments
here's a classic example from SIT

Answer to coolmac's question: Cassandra Smith found out that her sister introduced the man to their father. Mr SMith was homo and during some backdoor action, he had a stroke. After Cassandra heard, unable to acknowledge this was true, i na fit she killed her sister... denying all existence of a homosexual relationship.

this is to dictate that a few of us of the population do have outraageous minds and can think of even funny situations at a serious matter even murder. those who answer here is a bit crazy so you are not hired!

1% of the peeps are phsycophat or criminally insane serial killers
when this test was asked to a 100 serial killers all over the world. 100 of them calmly replied that cassandra wanted to see the man again, so she has to murder her sister and find "soothing" effects again from this man at a funeral. with this test alone it is safe to assume that the one who bagged this shit is having the mind of 1% of the abnormal population. it is a safe bet to get security up to the building because if you dont hire this guy he might kill you during lunch hours or at the evening

last 1% of the peeps will have no clue to what we are talking about
this fellows are either dumbasses or just plain morons. no further explaination needed. if anyone falls into this category then why on earth did he made it this far to the interview? kick his fat ass outta here...NOW!




thanks to all who participated int he test

she wanted to see the stranger again thats why she killed her sister..

mmmmmm, i guess im really a killer...

[Wormy10]

Ahh, so theres no right answer
What is the exact answer to the 4 guys in the sand?

[zmac]

Yeh I was just about to say, no one has even attempted my sand guys one!

So I may aswell give it away.
The middle guy on the right side of the brick wall, realises that if he didnt have a hat on, the guy behind him would have known which 2 had hats and which didnt.

[Heiks]

The mom is the doctor.




Easy. I've heard that at least 10 times.

Same here...

[Jackal]

I've read this thread & the answers are interesting. What interested me more isn't the answers, but the fact that Coolmac has asked the question.

My guess is some 12 year old girl asked him to solve it & she'd go out on a date with him. Given he couldn't figure it out, he posted it here to see the replies & then pass them off as his own.

[nbalive744]

lol jackal^^ anyways my answer was jealousy, so i guess im normal

[Jona]

A boy is brought into a hospital by his father. He is severely injured. When he brings the boy to the doctor, the doctor responds, "I'm sorry. I can't operate on him. He's my son."

How could this be?

The surgeon is the kid's mother.

[Eugene]

Good, good, good.

This is long enough to wait for the answer.

The other Kevin and Dr. Jona are right, the doctor's the kid's mom. And for those of you who couldn't come up with that...

I mean, I couldn't guess the answer when I first heard it, and really, it says something about the male-dominant society in which we live.

Of course, I thought I'd catch a lot more people on this testosterone-filled forum.

Ooh, as long as we're here, another brain-teaser.

There is a room with no windows. In the room, there are three light bulbs. Outside, there are three light switches which all correspond to the light bulbs inside. The task is, you have to find out which light switch turns on which light bulb. You can only enter the room once to check. How do you figure it out?

Allegedly, this question was posed to a number of candidates applying for a managerial position. The employer offered the spot to whoever could answer the question.

Of coures, if you already heard it before, please don't ruin it.

[J@3]

Switch them all on when you enter the room the one time.

[Eugene]

Then you wouldn't know which light switch turns on which light bulb.

So, there are light switches 1, 2, and 3, and light bulbs 1, 2, and 3, but they don't correspond to those numbers. Switch1 doesn't turn on bulb1, so on and so forth.

And you can't have someone else turn the light switch on while you're in the room.

Sorry about the confusion.

[Jackal]

Has to do with warmth I suppose. Turn on switch 1. Leave it on & watch tv orso (give the lamp enough time to warm up). Then turn off switch 1 & turn on switch 2. Go into the room and look at the bulb that's lit, feel the bulb that's warm & feel the bulb that's cold.

Bulb that is warm = switch 1.
Bulb that is on = switch 2.
Bulb that is cold = switch 3.

If you aren't allowed to wait, then I don't know how you would know. Maybe you just have to run into the room really quick and see which lightbulb is going off as you've switched it. Although you'd have to be really fast.

[J@3]

Don't be a girl, sit in the dark.

[Jackal]

There could be monsters though.

[Drex]

^ That seems like a the most logical answer

[COOLmac©]

just say open sesame and the door plus the lights will be open for you

My guess is some 12 year old girl asked him to solve it & she'd go out on a date with him. Given he couldn't figure it out, he posted it here to see the replies & then pass them off as his own

read for your good the answers. or maybe they didn't teach you that at aisle 3 instruction manual?

[Jackal]

Hehe, you know it's sadness when Coolmac starts picking up on other peoples' "flames".

That aisle three is about to buy me a new PC, how I love to clean up shit.

I mean, I couldn't guess the answer when I first heard it, and really, it says something about the male-dominant society in which we live.

Absolutely. It's quite a clever yet simple way of exposing gender stereotyping, though I think it could also be used as a way of how we try to look for hard solutions to simple problems when presented with a brain teaser. But mainly the gender stereotyping.

I second Jackal's solution for the light bulb brain teaser, though I probably wouldn't have come up with that had it not been posted.

[Eugene]

Well, no need to keep you waiting.

Jackal was absolutely correct. Turn the first light switch on, and leave it for a while. Then, turn it off, turn the second switch on, and enter the room. Whichever light bulb is on is the one for the second switch. The hot one is the first light switch. The cool one is the third light switch.

I gotta say, I'm pretty impressed. I couldn't come with it.

Good one.

Ironically, I'm taking a course that involves a lot of feminist oppression, and I wasn't able to answer correctly. I was thinking more along the lines that this is more complex than what I'll be thinking, but alas, it was so simple.

[Jackal]

Only reason I thought about heat is because I've got a halogeen (is that the word for it in English too?) lamp on my desk & I don't have to turn on my heater if it gets chilly. I can just leave that on & it'll warm my room right up. It actually melted my Eco Drive Citizen watch. If I can find my camera, I'll post pictures of the melted watch.
