Japanese IQ Test

[ChunsaEyes]

I'm sure some of you have seen this---but for those who haven't, give it a try :)

This can be somewhat hard, but it can be done. Apparently this is an IQ test given to job applicants in Japan.

"Everybody Has to Cross the River"

-Only 2 persons on the raft at a time.
-The father cannot stay with any of the daughters without their mother's presence.
-The mother cannot stay with any of the sons without their father's presence.
-The thief (striped shirt) cannot stay with any family member if the policeman is not there.
-Only the father, mother, and policeman know how to operate the raft.

Enjoy :)

Yep. Been there... done that.

A co-worker of mine said he took (or tried) to take a real Japanese IQ test while he was stationed there.... and said he doesn't quite believe how ANYBODY could accomplish something!

Gotta love those Japanese engineers! Wish I was brilliant like that! I'm just a grease monkey!

Why can't the father take the sons and the mother take the daughters?

edit - nm, I get it now. They can't be left together at any time.

edit 2 - w00t, got it. My head hurts now...
