| You Are Incredibly Logical |
 Move over Spock - you're the new master of logic You think rationally, clearly, and quickly. A seasoned problem solver, your mind is like a computer! |
The one thing that bothered me about this quiz is that it didn't say how many I got correct. I assume I got all of the answers correct, though. How about you?

As I said, I want to remind you, dear readers, that I am still here, and still missing you all, so I dug up a quiz that you might enjoy. This quiz presumably determines how logical you are. The good thing about this quiz is that I have some evidence that all the drugs I've had to take recently…

This is the third post in which I'm pulling a revise-and-extend job on some things I said at Science Online at a few panels on bloggy stuff, and the one I'm least settled about. Previous posts covered the in how-to-do-outreach session (posted Monday and the blogging long term session (posted…
Yep, we're both spectacularly logical... but it does not help bronchitis to vanish... at the risk of sounding like a mother hen, I hope you're drinking tons of water... it helps my spouse with his fairly regular bronchial attacks, at least...

Q5's a bit dodgy: how many socks do I need to take to get a pair? Precisely 2, because my socks go into the drawer bundled up into pairs with their playmates (don't most people pair their socks before putting them away?). How many shoes do I need to take to be sure of getting a pair? Assuming they're randomised and I can't tell anything by touch, etc., I'd say 9, because the first 8 could all be left shoes, so I need at least one right shoe! Or perhaps the question-setter has identical left and right feet? And that still doesn't guarantee that the socks will match the shoes -- blue socks with brown shoes, yuk!
Get well, I like your blog.
I got the same score and I spent enough time thinking about them that I'm pretty sure I got all of them correct. Except for the QUIZ written as UYMD question, at which point I just guessed randomly.
When I changed a known correct answer to a wrong answer I became Pretty Logical. I did this for all the questions, so when you are Incredibly Logical you answered all the questions correctly.
For the QUIZ problem look up caesar cipher.
#5 is clearly wrong.
you would need at least 22 socks to be sure but there is no 5 shoes, 22 sock choice
Well it says I'm incredibly logical.
Oh yes, get ye to a physic, bronchitis isn't good for you.
When I changed a known correct answer to a wrong answer I became Pretty Logical. I did this for all the questions, so when you are Incredibly Logical you answered all the questions correctly.
Doesn't pan out for me. If I change from a known correct to a known incorrect, the result was still Incredibly Logical. Changing two answers resulted in a downgrade to Pretty Logical. Thus, Incredibly Logical covered both 7 and 8 correct answers.
My experimenting went the same as JP's- it takes two incorrect answers to go from "incredibly logical" to "pretty logical".
For Ben: it's a simple substitution cipher where each letter is replaced by the one 4 letters later in the alphabet. thus, A becomes E, B becomes, F, Z becomes D and so forth. HEAD then becomes LIEH.
