My sister sent me a funny mini-quiz that claims, "If you answer more than 70% correctly, 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, so I made slight adjustments to the wording, and also, it wasn't very user-friendly, as it would roll back after every question was submitted.

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: Huey, Dewey 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 greengrocery 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 the ones that didn't freeze.
3. e - the letter 'e' occurs in those words accordingly (Year, Week, Day).
4. Barry - it's Barry's dad after all.
5. 3 - you removed those three apples, so now you have them.
6. Mount Everest - as the mountain doesn't care if or when it was discovered.
7. Lunch, Dinner, Snack - all that is not breakfast, really.
8. Short - add "er" and you get "shorter".
9. Vegetables or fruit - all the greengrocery stuff, really (this is a trick question about what she weighs, referring to the items she measures/sells, not her personal weight).
10. 3 minutes - it's all it takes for an avocado to be eaten by one kid, so 100 kids will eat 100 avocados still in 3 minutes (each kid still takes 3 minutes for their own avocado).
