Does this test benefit anybody?
It looks much more like the sleight of hand rather than an educational test eh? -
George says:
Where does success come before work? The answer is in the dictionary! This came from Dr. Clark’s book, which is an excellent resource regarding how to (1) develop a personal network to aid in getting into the best colleges, (2) find financial assistance if needed, (3) fill out applications, (4) correspond with key individuals and (5) answer interviewers’ questions. After buying and reading his book, I highly recommend that everyone go to ABCPhD.com and buy his book. It is well worth the price.

Joe says:
Abhishek: that might be a smart solution too. The stroke would go through the = sign, like this:
5 + 5 + 5 β 550
ie: 5 + 5 + 5 does not equal 550
I’m no mathematician so I’m not sure if it would then be a “formula”, strictly speaking (which was the original question). Perhaps a mathematician could clarify?
-
Abhishek says:
Can’t I use 5 + 5 + 5 =/ 550. =/ here implies not equals?? Thats also a single stroke. π
-
elaine says:
OMG!!!
FAILED

mehr says:

Joe says:
ibnu asqori pohan:
5 + 5 + 5 = 550 is clearly wrong. But if you add a single line to the first + sign it looks like 4. So now it is 545 + 5 = 550, which is correct π

ibnu asqori pohan says:
I’m still confuse with test number 2

This test is more about your ability to think “outside the box” than anything else. and its about the subtleties of language…. Write “anything” here… a rectangle (containing) 3 lines…. Got to “read between the lines” for this one!
