It's all about the square root, the answer must have a whole-number sqrt.:
400 --> 20
100 --> 10
2500 --> 50
and of the answer options:
900 --> 30

The other numbers don't have a whole-number sqrt.

Thanks, I didn't see this at all, but I believe this is it.

I know this, but in that particular question it makes no sense, I still don't be believe the answer to that question is nothing.

The one I wasn't too sure on was "Its easier to ...... than to lend a helping hand"

I was torn between "point the finger" and "sing praise". I've never heard the phrase they were alluding to.

I got 135 Visual Mathemitician too.

I probably could have gotten higher had I had more patience to do some of the questions.

I think the answer was point the finger. I got the idea that the phrase was about how lots of people ridicule instead of helping.

tinyp3nis, It's gotta be nothing, since I too answered nothing! IT'S NOTHING DAMN IT!
It makes perfect sense. When you start learning stuff, you realise there so much more you don't know yet about the subject. Just like programming .

It's one of the poor questions on the test that looks for knowledge rather than intelligence.

I've heard the quote before so I knew what to put.

I thought so and its what I went with, but I was also thinking along the lines of people giving praise to a cause, but doing nothing for that cause.

Pekka, the nothing option was the first thing that came into my mind, but I realised it can't be it. The problem is this : IF you know nothing, then you actually know SOMETHING, which is the fact that you know you know nothing.

Well can you explain to me how the option "the truth" is wrong?

I don't think there is a right/wrong for it, since it's philosophy.

But the idea behind the sentence is that you never really know if you know the truth. And you can't begin to know everything. So "True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing." The people who insist they know everything obviously don't know everything.

At the same time, we compared your answers with others who have taken the test, and according to the sorts of questions you got correct, we can tell your Intellectual Type is a Word Warrior.
The first thing we can tell you about that is you are equipped with a verbal arsenal that enables you to understand complex issues and communicate on a particularly high level. But that's just scratching the surface.

This test was a lot easier then the one I took earlier. On that one i scored 126

This test had way too much emphasis on simple pattern matching. And a pythag question? WTF?
