Business Insider bets that you can not legitimately solve THREE of these 15 problems!

I spent the entire day, no less, working on all of the questions, and I'm top of my math class. I got one correct (question 13). Enough said.



So, try yourself, but COMMIT TO THE CHALLENGE.



- Do not GIVE UP.

- The "next" button SHOWS YOU THE CORRECT ANSWER AFTER EVERY QUESTION! Do not be too fast in pressing it; battle your way through the problem. In hindsight, I would've done better if I hadn't been so quick in pressing the 'next' button every time.

- Most importantly, STOP READING and do not scroll down to the comments below if you're about to start - some answers may be given away!!

Best of luck to all!

 

Ragh... must resist... will try this after my exams, thanks for this!

 

I am good a math when it comes to simple stuff but with algebra and beyond....mind as well shoot me on spot.

I'll try to see if I can get any of these right. So far gave up the first one I mean it was just a big blank in my head. o.o on the second one now actually trying it...lol

 

I ragged haha...

Doing these while listening to dubstep makes your brain feel like its going to implode.

 

hm... some tough nails to crack.

 

No problem!

Haha! Go for the 13th one, I found it to be the easiest, though you might need an hour or so to figure it out. Once you do, though, the feeling is amazing.

Dubstep? C'moon, get some Mozart on.

Indeed, but why not challenge yourself?

 

Way too hard I failed haha

 

These are stupid and 90% the answer is damn near impossible to find without being the creator of the question. The average time it would take a person to solve one of these problems would probably be 72 hours.

 

I'm really confused..

 

Haha, been there, done that

Well, it's definitely not impossible, because I did solve one; It didn't take me 72 hours, either - more like 80 minutes or so.

There's also a reason they bet that nobody could legitimately solve 3 of these questions!

Yeah, that tends to happen with these questions...

 

My brain simply walked out of my head. These questions are so... impossible!

I especially liked the binary one. I don't know how anyone would just think of converting each number to a binary.

 

lol these questions will take you like 2 hours each not worth the time

 

Question 3 is both fake and gay.

 

That's true. Wasted my time on that one and converting each to a binary never occurred to me, and it probably never would have.

Ok.. they're probably not worth your time, but for me that was a lazy summer Tuesday well spent.

Haha! I wasn't even in the ballpark when thinking of possible answers for that one.




So, has nobody solved a single question yet?

 

Going to try these I a bit.

 

Best of luck!

 

I take it nobody has succeeded...?

 

Summer has ruined my brain function. I couldn't even be bothered to read the whole problem :S

 

#1 is absolute bullshit. As I highly doubt the 6 points are evenly spaced and all the BS that comes from "OH THIS PATH MAY TAKE YOU TO AN EVENLY SPACED PLACE, WHICH IS ALSO TRUE."

No. If the question is that it always takes you closer, then taking you to an equal destination is NOT closer.

My answer was April 3, April 3, April 4.

#2 - 285714

#3 - I bet this has something to do with another language. I'm not gonna bother with this.

 

This is stressing my brains out
