To all IQ Puzzle fanatics out there, this is what you’ve been waiting for! The Tips, Hints and Mechanics of the 2nd Blue Stickman IQ Puzzle. After the success of the first IQ Challenge, I’m proud to give you the second IQ Challenge! This time it will be a lot harder, but not that hard. It’s just harder compared to the first one, but don’t think of it as hard and impossible to answer because as what I have said, it’s not that hard.
The prizes at stake are: $50.00 thru Paypal, 1 Free Domain Registration for 1 Year, a 125×125 Sidebar Banner at Jehzlau Concepts for 1 month (that’s worth $100.00! Really!) and these oh so cool limited edition Google Code Stickers (I got these during the Google Techtalk last November 2007 and I know that these are very rare nowadays because… these are rare, hehe)
So now let’s go to the mechanics, hints and tips. Without these, you can’t answer the puzzle correctly. You should follow the mechanics, tips and hints in order to get the right answer to this puzzle. If you don’t follow the instructions, then you’re wrong. If you did the opposite and got the correct answer, the you’re right! Yay!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Below is the picture of the puzzle as previewed in the announcement of the first IQ puzzle winner. All you need to do is find the common tribes. There are 15 Blue Stickman tribes in the picture. These tribes are grouped in boxes. The number of tribe members differ from each other, but there are also tribes with the same number of members. There are two unique tribes and these tribes are different from the rest, but they have a common factor (The hints will help you find what’s common with them). All you need to do is choose two boxes (2 tribes) below and explain why are they different from the rest and how they are related to each other.

ANSWER: G and H
EXPLANATION: Because according to your hint, ABC = 123, galing dun, G=7 & H=8, and since 7 stick men ang nasa loob ng G and 8 naman ang nasa H, sila lang ang tribes na equal sa letter nila ang number ng members nila.
La na maisip.. hehe
Ayan o. Husay! :eek: Apir paps! :grin:
oo nga.. galing :D
ok yung sagot mo ah.. hehehe... let's see this February 26 :D
wow great answer :D thanks for answering :wink:
Answer: A and O
Explanation:
A and O = 17
B and N = 15
C and M = 16
D and L = 15
E and K = 16
F and J = 15
G and I = 15 + 1 =16
From the hint #12
A and O 17, walang partner
Shet!! nosebleed!! Bukas ulet.
nose bleed din ako sa sagot mo :eek:
ANSWER: B and G
EXPLANATION:
I'll try to explain my answer based on the hints to make my answer valid.
1. If you’re blind, you cannot answer this puzzle - I can see that's why I can answer the puzzle
2. If you can’t hear, you can answer this puzzle - Even if I cannot hear, I think my answer was right
3. If you can’t smell, you can answer this puzzle - I don't need to smell to answer correctly
4. If you don’t know how to add and compare, you cannot answer this puzzle - I know that's why I answered!
5. If you can’t walk, you can answer this puzzle - I answered it without standing and walking. I'm just staring in front of my PC, and poof! an idea appeared in my mind!
6. If you can’t think, you cannot answer this puzzle - I can think that's why I have an answer
7. If you don’t want to answer this puzzle, you cannot answer this puzzle - I want to answer this puzzle that's why I have an answer
8. Discern past from the present and vice versa - I compared the old puzzle and the new one and I know my answer is right
9. John Nash has a Beautiful Mind - JOHN NASH is equal to
J = 10
O = 15
H = 8
N = 14
N = 14
A = 1
S = 19
H = 8
SUM = 89
So let's get the 2 letters that is related to each other. I picked B and G because 116 (the total number of the members of all the tribes) - 89 = 27
So if B = 2 and G = 7 and B and G are the answers.
This explanation also complies the hint on number 11 which is ABC is equal to 123
10. Thomas Knoll has a Clever Mind
T = 20
H = 8
O = 15
M = 13
A = 1
S = 19
K = 11
N = 14
O = 15
L = 12
L = 12
SUM = 140
140 is still related to 2 and 7. If we consider tip #6 and #7. It states that Do the math and we can use a calculator. Let's emit zero in 140. Why did we emit zero? Because it is said in hint #13 that:
If you’re from the stone age, you cannot answer this puzzle
So zero doesn't exist in the stone age, based on the history of zero: By the middle of the 2nd millennium BC (this is after the stone age), the Babylonian mathematics had a sophisticated sexagesimal positional numeral system. The lack of a positional value (or zero) was indicated by a space between sexagesimal numerals. By 300 BC, a punctuation symbol (two slanted wedges) was co-opted as a placeholder in the same Babylonian system. In a tablet unearthed at Kish (dating from about 700 BC).
I asked help from Google (Tip No. 8), that's why I got the history.
So obviously, this is not the stone age, but numbers already exist on the minds of the people on the stone age because they know how to count.
So 14 is related to 2 and 7 because the product of 2 and 7 is 14. 2 = B and 7 = G
So that explains the name of Thomas Knoll.
Let's go to the last hint:
12. 570564 + 1
570564 + 1 = 570565
Let's group all 5s. the numbers remaining are 7 6 5. Let's eliminate zero (to apply the stone age hint)
So the remaining numbers are 7, 6, and 5.
In order to get 2 let's subtract 5 from 7. Now we have 2.
In order to get 7, let's add 1 to 6.. now we have 7.
So why did I get the difference between 7 and 5? And added 1 to 6?
I applied tip no. 2. Be Clever. That's why I'm being clever. Hehe
Sana tama to kuya :mrgreen:
wow ang haba! :shock: thanks for answering jen :smile:
ANSWER: A and M
EXPLANATION: all tribes are composed of 7 & 8 while A & M composed of 9
yay! thanks for answering dexter :eek:
The answer is A and D (I used is because I am only referring to one set of answer).
Tribes A & D (I am now referring to two tribes) are different from the others because they are the tribes that match most of the hints.
1. If you’re blind, you cannot answer this puzzle
----doh, you can't see the image. unless you have a super hi-tech braille-blah-blah machine that is geeky enough to convert those images into braille
2. If you can’t hear, you can answer this puzzle
----Obviously. All you have to do is to read, understand and analyze the image and hints.
3. If you can’t smell, you can answer this puzzle
----(nagnosebleed at nakalimutang magEnglish) wala namang technology ang most laptops and desktops na magemit ng smell from image and text, diba?
4. If you don’t know how to add and compare, you cannot answer this puzzle
----Oo, kasi ginamitan ko ng addition at pagcompare ang pagsagot nito. So kung hindi ka marunong nun, hindi mo rin magagawa.
5. If you can’t walk, you can answer this puzzle
----Pwedeng-pwede ito gawin habang nakaupo. Hindi ko kinailangan maglakad para masagot ito.
6. If you can’t think, you cannot answer this puzzle
----Obvious naman, kung di ka marunong mag-isip -- hindi mo masasagot ito.
7. If you don’t want to answer this puzzle, you cannot answer this puzzle
----Kung ayaw mo sagutan ang puzzle na ito, di mo ito sasagutan therefore di mo ito masasagot.
8. Discern past from the present and vice versa
----Ah. Ang super past, BC pa yun. Ngayong present, AD na.
9. John Nash has a Beautiful Mind
----HINT # 11. A = 1, B = 2, C = 3. Using the pattern, if you get the sum of each letter of John Nash, you will get 89. Considering 89 as an array of characters (sa Java o C), the character on index 0 (first index) is 8 and the character on index 1 (second index) is 9. 8 is the number of members of tribe D whilst 9 naman sa tribe A.
10. Thomas Knoll has a Clever Mind
----Parang #9 din. Ang sum is 140. 0 does not correspond to any number so I feel it's safe to discard it. 1 corresponds to A and 4 corresponds to D.
11. ABC is equal to 123
----Ayun na, ginamit ko na sa previous items.
12. 570564 + 1
----EG?EFD + A
----EG > EF (strcmp function of C considers EG greater than EF) so parang past and present lang din. Wala itong connect. Ang importante lang ay ang D + A. D > A din. Kinakain ni PacMan (>) ang mas malaki. Ang years, pagineexpress numerically, bigger ang present than past. Therefore, more on present tayo. Diba 2009 AD tayo ngayon. Lumabas nanaman ang mahiwagang A at ang mahiwagang D.
13. If you’re from the stone age, you cannot answer this puzzle
----Stone age, nung BC pa yun eh. So it's definitely AD!
