No, that’s not a typo (For once!). It’s 12 trick questions. [http://www.pressanykey.com/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/pak/jquiz.cgi](http://www.pressanykey.com/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/pak/jquiz.cgi) I actually scored a ten.

11…Motherfuckers… > [@](#): > > 1. > - You answered [90] > Start with the 1st pill, 30 minutes later take the 2nd, then 30 minutes for the 3rd. The effects of the pills will last for 90 minutes, but in 60 minutes, the pills are gone! It is like ice cream. It can stay in your refrigerator for years, but would you eat 8 year old ice cream? If it takes you 15 minutes to eat the ice cream, the ice cream lasts 15 minutes, but I am sure there are some of you who would argue that it would last 16 minutes, just to get this question right! > You got this one wrong! Well, it didn’t say that you take the first one right away. If you take the instructions literally, you would take the first one in a half hour.

I agree with Demo. The question doesn’t say when to take the first pill. I stand by 90 minutes. Of course, I only scored an 8, so what do I know. Hell, it’s Sunday. Who can be expected to think on a Sunday? * * * _God is my co-pilot. Blame Him._ ---

11 for me. I thought if I had three apples and took away two, I’d still have three, since they were all mine to begin with. It seems the three apples were in a store. Pah. * * * Uke ---

12/12. and I knew the answer to the pill question that they wanted, but I am convinced 90 mins is right. Each pill seems to last for 1/2 hour. Even though you would take all 3 w/in a 60 min period, the last one would still be working for 30 more minutes. Thus they last 90 minutes. * * * Cecil said it. I believe it. That settles it. ---

“You scored 12 out of 12 - You are a genius!” I really like this kind of question. Would anyone like me to ask some? Here’s just a sample: A cook has a recipe that calls for 4 ounces of milk. He sends his helper into another room to get the milk. His helper takes a 3 ounce cup and a 5 ounce cup into the storeroom and finds a large vat of milk of undetermined quantity. The helper has only the two cups (with no markings on them) and no other pots, pans, containers, etc. - and of course, he can’t use his mouth to ‘hold’ the milk while he does the work. How does the helper manage to return to the cook with 4 ounces of milk in the 5 ounce cup? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/take-the-densa-test/15000.md?page=2)
