No wonder the Chinese are so progressive

This is an IQ test given to job applicants in China: "Everybody has to cross the river".

The following rules apply:

1. Only 2 persons on the raft at a time

2. The father can not stay with any of the daughters without their mother's presence

3. The mother can not stay with any of the sons without their father's presence

4. The thief (striped shirt) can not stay with any family member if the Policeman is not there

5. Only the Father, the Mother and the Policeman know how to operate the raft

6. To start click on the big blue circle on the right.

7. To move the people click on them.

8. To move the raft click on the pole on the opposite side of the river.

Let the game begin !!

Why? Are Chinese men a bit dodgy like that?

Right, I've been silent about this for a couple of days, because a number of people got this much more quickly than me, and I could never admit that.

However, I've just finished it, which means I am a genius and everybody who can't do it is a fool.:D

What kind of Chinese family has four kids? I'm not sure about the intelligence of any game that requires that you leave a child and then a criminal alone on a river bank to solve it, but maybe I'm being a bit picky. Heck, if the parents are that dodgy, I guess the kid's fairly used to being on its own.

these things are simple here is another:

a piece of string with unequal density burns out in 1 min, how do you know when 30 seconds has burned. remember the string is of unequal density i.e. unequal thickness throughout.

Done it in about 10-15 mins I think (was not timing it or treating it as a race!!) just playing around. I thought it was impossible at first!!:eek:
The FAI have called in a consultant and are "working on the problem" :D :rolleyes:

if you are still stuck, I hope this will help you out.

First, I will identify the boulders as A,B,and C, in order of how far "up" the screen they are at the start of the level (ie the boulder, in the top right hand corner of the room, is boulder A, halfway down is B, bottom right is C)

First, roll C up until it hits A.

Then roll C to the left until it hits the block.

Roll C down until it hits the wall.

Roll A to the left until it hits the block.

Roll B up until it hits A.

Roll B to the left until it hits the block.

Roll B down until it hits C.

Roll B to the left until it hits the block.

Roll B up to land on the "trigger".

27 levels in total........you get to kill people later.

I'll guarantee that is not a test given to Chinese job applicants....

Lads that wasn't at all hard, if you've watched the episode of the Office where they have to solve the fox, chicken, seed and farmer puzzle you should have had some clue. Anyway here's the spoiler for people (hope I remember it right now!)

SPOILER: Policeman and thief first, then the policeman goes back, policeman and son goes across next, then the policeman and thief come back, Father and son go across, father comes back, mother and father cross, mother comes back, policeman and thief go back across, father comes back, father goes back with mother, mother comes back, mother and daughter cross, policeman and thief come back, policeman and last daughter go across, policeman goes back and then goes back across with the thief

Here's one that made the rounds last year.

http://emuse.ebaumsworld.com/games/play/905

The challenge is to get the frogs on the left to change places with the frogs on the right. You can only leap over one frog at a time.

Apparently the average 10 year old managed to solve this in less than 5 min...

Oh yeah, forgot to add: Click on the frog to make it leap, once a frog has lept forward you cant jump back.
