Hi there! It's Veronika =)

My sister sent me a funny miniquiz that claims "if you answer more than 70% correct you're smarter than an average person".
So off you go, smarties, show me how witty you are.

The original quiz is here, but I've redesigned it for two reasons: I didn't like a few questions there so a slight adjustment on the wording and also, it wasn't really very user-friendly as after every question submitted it rolled back up.

So here's my version, static enough to be user-friendly (although now you will need to remember your answers or write them down) and also vegan-friendly as I've replaced the butcher's question (and a few more) - you're welcome =)

Witty maths & logic quiz that's not really about maths - the vegan-friendly version:

  1. How many months have 28 days?
  2. A farmer had 17 apple trees. All but six froze over the winter. How many survived?
  3. What occurs once in a year, twice in a week, but never in a day?
  4. Barry's dad has three sons: Snap, Crackle, and ____.
  5. There's a bowl with seven apples. You remove three. How many do you have?
  6. Before Mount Everest was discovered, what was the highest mountain on Earth?
  7. Name one meal you can NEVER eat for breakfast.
  8. What word becomes shorter when you add two letters to it?
  9. A cashier at a green grocery shop is 5'9", wears size 8 shoes, and is 32 years old. What does she weigh?
  10. If three kids can eat three avocados in three minutes, how many minutes would it take 100 kids to eat 100 avocados?

Don't scroll down yet...

 

Are you finished?

 

All answers?

 

Right!

Are you ready for the answers?

Here we go:

  1. 12, all months - every month in the year has at least 28 days
  2. 6 - those were that didn't freeze
  3. e - letter e occurs in those words accordingly
  4. Barry - it's Barry's dad at the end
  5. 3 - you removed those three apples so now you have them
  6. Mount Everest, as the mountain doesn't care if it was discovered or not by humans
  7. Lunch, Dinner, Snack - all that is not breakfast, really
  8. Short - add "er" and you got "shorter"
  9. Vegetables or fruit - all the green grocery stuff really
  10. 3 minutes - it's all it takes for an avocado being eaten by one kid, so 100 kids will eat 100 avocados still in 3 minutes
