California Surveyors Forums

This should waste about 5 minutes of your day.

Please look at the math below:



They (whoever they are) say only people with an IQ 120 and over are able to figure this out.



If:

2 + 3 = 10

7 + 2 = 63

6 + 5 = 66

8 + 4 = 96



Then:

9 + 7 = ????

I think it is 144 based on my assumptions (add the numbers and then multiply by the first, i.e. 9+7 = 16 then 16*9 = 144)

So do I have at least a 120 IQ? Haha

That's what "they" say

OK that took about 20 seconds...

What else do you have?

Oh nevermind, I just looked at all of the work on my desk.

Back to it...

OK you asked for it.

The A's and the Giants are playing an interleague game.

The A's have 3 times more runs than the Giants.

The Giants score one run to cut the score in half.

What is the score of the game?

The score is 6 to 3 now

That was a brain buster! LOL

How do you spell Surveyor?
Ha, you're doing better than the State of California.
Guess I'm a Sure Surveyor, or am I sure I'm a Surveyor? I don't know, you guys figure it out.

Shirley you jest !!!

and don't call him shirley.

Vance, looks like you have been trolling around the POB forum too...

We need to get a life!

Has anybody else received their card like that? Maybe I have a collector's item.

One of my guys said he received a new card with Surveyor misspelled too

Never been to POB forum.

A car circles a one mile track at 30mph for the first lap. How fast does it need to go on the next lap to average 90mph over the two laps?

At first you want to say 150 m/h, but with Dimensional Analysis;
1hour/30miles x 60minutes/1hour x 1mile = 2 minutes for the car to take the first lap.

For 2 laps averaging 90 mph;
1hour/90miles x 60minutes/1hour x 2miles = 1.33 minutes for the car to take the 2 laps averaging 90mph.

The first lap already used up more time than needed to make the two laps averaging 90mph, so it can't be done I guess. It is really hard to wrap my brain around that answer.

You're right but I always screw that up......it's supposed to be 60mph over two laps but it's the same logic. One mile @30 is two minutes, two laps @ 60 is two minutes so unless you can beam around that track fast enough to make time stand still, can't be done.

Ha, and I know how to spell surveyor, too.

Yea, they are takng care of it. I actually did not notice it until I recieved another card correctly spelled in the mail with a letter explaining the mistake.
I also have two license certificates because they spelled my name wrong slightly on the first. I noticed that right off the bat.

Only in a DeLorean.

Okay math wizards...


You are an egocentric Pittsburgh TV weatherman, visiting Punxsutawney for a special event on February 2nd, 1993. A local celebrity "Punxsutawney Phil" exits his front door on a nice sunny day and asks you this question, "If 1&1/2 woodchucks can chuck 1&1/3 cords of wood in 1&1/4 hours, how many cords of wood can 1 woodchuck chuck over the next 6 weeks?"

I need to get a ground hog to chop wood.

Except no wood would get chucked for the next six weeks, due to it saw its shadow.

there are 3 acceptable answers in all.
