Concerning the validity of I.Q.

I challenged some Dart Genii to a test of their mental acuity. But got little response.

Does any one else feel like having a go?

This was the puzzle I posed:

1 2 5 20 1 4 5 20 ?

What is the missing number.

And here is another:

Firstly Ethang5

Secondly Athias

Lastly Seldiora.

But what was seventh?

Fine, I have no idea if this is a hard puzzle only the 200 IQ knows, or is this meaningless nonsense.

Like I said before, the number is 1 and after it would be 6 5 20.

No incorrect.    It's a puzzle not a sequence.

Not nonsense...Just two tests of mental acuity.

Without the parameters, it's pointless to address either puzzle. For the first puzzle, I suspect that some "reverse engineering" has to take place, an oddity for number puzzles. Thus far, based on the information you've given, it's not a sequence, so the order in which they're placed or the consistency of any arithmetical operation which relates them are of no consequence. What are the restrictions? Is it a series of just nine numbers? Each number is a factor of 20. With the exceptions of "2" and "4," each number has a frequency of two. But this doesn't do much of anything without the parameters. We're not identifying that last number as much as we are guessing at the rules you've set when creating this series. For example: [93100000000?] What's the last number? That last number can be anything depending on my rules.

The same goes for the second puzzle. Mentioning my name in some order with other members indicates nothing more than mentioning our names. I don't think this reflects mental acuity as much as it reflects throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks.

So you can't solve them.

The problem here is what you're testing, abstract intelligence, which is the precise problem with IQ tests

Well, I was just attempting to introduce a bit of fun to the subject of I.Q.

Neither puzzle is a trick, though both require a bit of lateral thinking, which as I see it, is the application of knowledge and intellect.

Where have the Genii gone, the ones who normally love to espouse their I.Q's when the subject is raised.

Have you worked them out?

Uuuh, for the first one 10? Common denominators perhaps?

1, 2, 5, 20, 1, 4, 5, 20

So 10?

No...As I specified previously, this is not a number sequence..... Both puzzles require lateral thinking....

Wasn't a sequence I was pointing out, I as talking about factors of 20, regardless as I said if this is a "puzzle" then it requires context, as all puzzles do, without that context it's a matter of guessing.

It has context.

Is this the approach?  Lateral thinking puzzles are strange situations in which you are given a little information and then have to find the explanation. They are solved through a dialogue between the quizmaster who sets the puzzle and the solver or solvers who try to figure out the answer. The puzzles as stated generally do not contain sufficient information for the solver to uncover the solution. So a key part of the process is the asking of questions. The questions can receive one of only three possible answers – yes, no or irrelevant.

No....One does not need clues or prompts to solve these simple puzzles....All that is required, is intelligence.

Thanks, I will solve it when I am done with my shift at the Large Hadron Collider.

Except no, there is no context aside from, "Its a puzzle not a sequence" that literally says nothing, as I said, abstract intelligence. 

Interesting......Create a forum about IQ and everyone's a genius.

Test their I.Q. and they all make excuses.

? Wheres your verification that your certified to do or make such questions? Wheres your evidence that this is a valid form of even proper IQ? Wheres your evidence of any of this? 

So you can't solve them?

Just puzzles...Why do I need certification?

Any puzzle such as these test your intelligence.

First one is 6?

Second one is hate?

Nope...Neither is correct.

Though how did you arrive at "hate".....You might be thinking along the right lines.

I don't believe that you know anyone on this forum well enough to "hate" them, or anything along those lines. Then again, you know yourself better than anyone else. Just suppose that your emotions are easily evoked. And that has little, if anything, to do with intelligence.

Guess my 1AM brain isn’t as sharp as I thought :(

Is the first answer is one

The second answer is feat

🤞🤞

So, you still can't solve them?

Nope. Neither is correct.

Though once again feat is along the right lines.

Damn rip

It's easy to fabricate an impossible riddle.

So you can't solve them.
