dAVe80 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Sad to hear of the passing of Reggae singer, Junior Murvin. Spent many an hour enjoying his music. Will post some of his stuff on the 'What Song Are You Listening To?' thread later I think. Most people will probably know him as the singer of Police & Thieves.

coda Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Some IQ test questions Boris Johnson had thrown at him. Question: "A man builds a house with four sides… each side having a southern exposure. A big bear comes along. What colour is the bear?"Mr Johnson: "The bear is probably brown, I haven't got a clue what the colour of the bear is, nor is it relevant to this discussion."Question: "Take two apples from three apples. What do you have?"Mr Johnson: "You have… you've got loads of apples, mate. You've got one apple left."Question: "I went to bed at 8 o'clock last night, and I wound up my clock to set the alarm to sound at 9 o'clock in the morning. How many hours sleep would I get before being woken by the alarm?"Mr Johnson: "I don't care… I slept like a log… We're waiting for some more sensible questions."I don't have the answers... but think I know 2 & 3.

BOF Posted December 3, 2013 Moderator Share Posted December 3, 2013 I'm on Boris' side. And question 3 depends on when you got to sleep. For me the answer would be '7' because I'd get to sleep at 1am and wake by myself at 8am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Hm, is number three '1 hour'? They're all riddles. I didn't know they measured IQ in riddles.... wait... is this guy head of Mensa? Edited December 3, 2013 by CarewsEyebrowDesigner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 What was the 'discussion' that was relevant at the time? Or was he ambushed ? On the radio. How do they test IQ? they're all trick or ambiguous questions. I think it's more reasoning than knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) The bear is white because if the house's walls all have a southern exposure then it surely must be at the North Pole, meaning it was a Polar Bear. I believe you have two apples, do you not? You'd get an hour's sleep because it specifically says the clock is wound, meaning it's not a 24 hour clock, so when it got to 9pm it would go off.

Like fibre optic cable. A quick google confirmed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
