Think you are good at logic puzzles eh...

[jbox]

Try this one. I think I went cross-eyed thinking about the tattoo one. 

[AtomSmasher]

Questions must be randomized because I didn't get a tattoo question, but overall I found it very easy.  I got all 4 right and I just skimmed for the needed info on the last two questions.  I was a comp sci major in college and had to take a lot of logic classes, so maybe thats why it was so easy for me.

I didn't get the tattoo one either, but I got them all right as well.

For some reason this made me remember the "game" Petals Around a Rose.  Take a look and see if you can figure out how to come up with the right number.

Theres also a funny story about Bill Gates and this game:
http://www.borrett.id.au/computing/petals-bg.htm
He couldn't figure out how to find the numbers so he started memorizing what the answer was to each combination of the dice.

*edit*  and I should probably mention I figured out petals around a rose in about 1/2 dozen rolls when I was first shown it.  Remember the name of the game is important.

I personally prefer sudoku.

I got the tatoo one.  It was fine.  In fact all four of my questions were essentially exactly the same logic question under different circumstances.  Like asking, "If I have four bananas and I give one away how many are left?  Okay....now if I have four oranges and I give one away how many are left?  Got it?  Okay now, if I have four apples...."

Petals Around a Rose

I kept getting small numbers and couldn't figure the dang thing out.  Had like 5 rolls (didn't get higher than a six each time,) then read your Gates article.  On the third example they showed, I got it.
That first link with the actual game doesn't give ANY hints whatsoever, which was probably why it was so hard initially...that and my consistently low rolls.  I think you need those big rolls to help figure it out.  Well, and I missed your hint in your post too when I first played it, so that definitely DIDN'T help...

Yep, lots of those here.

And to those who insist on bragging about their implication 133tn355, feel free to tell me how many unique binary boolean operators there are if you want?

In fact all four of my questions were essentially exactly the same logic question under different circumstances. 

I figured the answers were to obvious, so checked the opposite just to throw off the survey.

I got them all right, because it said I got them all wrong.

I still don't understand how these were tough questions.  

A person has to be 21 or older to drink alcohol.  
Which one(s) might be breaking the law? 
A is 23
B is 19
C is drinking beer
D is drinking coke.

Can someone explain to me how these was a trick questions?

The tattoo one was just the same thing only worded differently.

off the top of my head I can think of 10, am I right or did I miss some?

edit* just thought I'd post the ones I thought of,  == != < > =< => and or xor xand

Because people are idiots?

Xor...sounds like a cool name for somebody.

Not bad, anyone else want to take a guess?

edit* by the way, != and xor are the same thing. Also, what the heck is "XAND"?? Did you mean "NAND"?

heh, I was close.  Its been about 5 years since I've gone over that stuff so I'm just glad I was close

[jbox]

Well, I just figured it would be easy since everyone here is a super logic genius!   You don't actually have to know what they are in order to work out how many of them there are either.

Does anybody here know who Silly Sally is?

Does anybody here know who Silly Sally is?   

Silly Sally went to town, walking backwards upside down." Silly Sally is a topsy-turvy cumulative tale about a girl who walks to town on her hands and starts a small parade..

Hope that helps

Was she wearing a dress? 

I don't see what was so hard about the Petal and Rose. Took me 1 roll to figure out and 2 to confirm.

Some people tend to overthink it.  Which is what the article was saying.

That explains it.  I wasn't thinking, which is why I got it right, and which is also the reason I didn't read the article.
