Test yourself with these tricky IQ teasers

dwilliamsmustang, In traditional sense she has to be married as she is the only female. Obviously things have changed a bit in the world so maybe I would agree with you.

earlepg, • If Mary is UNMARRIED and Sean is MARRIED, then a MARRIED person is staring at an UNMARRIED person. • If Mary is MARRIED, and is staring at UNMARRIED Ronan, then again, a MARRIED person is staring at an UNMARRIED person. The answer is YES, regardless of Maty's marital status.

iainmac, You have enough information.. • If Mary is UNMARRIED and Sean is staring at her, then a MARRIED person is staring at an UNMARRIED person. • If Mary is MARRIED, and is staring at UNMARRIED Ronan, then again, a MARRIED person is staring at an UNMARRIED person. The answer is YES, regardless of Maty's marital status.

Gary Chadwick, You don't need to know Mary's marital status. • If Mary is UNMARRIED and Sean is, then a MARRIED person is staring at an UNMARRIED person. • If Mary is MARRIED, and is staring at UNMARRIED Ronan, then again, a MARRIED person is staring at an UNMARRIED person. The answer is YES, regardless of Maty's marital status.

Gary Ellis, In what word does "W" serve as a vowel?

tyafter, So, the words cry, dry, fry, my, ply, pry, shy, sly, spy, sty, thy, try, why, and wry have no vowels?

dwilliamsmustang, It doesn't matter. • If Mary is UNMARRIED and Sean is, then a MARRIED person is staring at an UNMARRIED person. • If Mary is MARRIED, and is staring at UNMARRIED Ronan, then again, a MARRIED person is staring at an UNMARRIED person. The answer is YES, regardless of Maty's marital status.

mikeyparry, explain number 5 to us then. There are two people looking at other people, how do we know which one the question refers to? Or did you just guess?

tyafter, actually the people who are objecting are Americans. We refer to y as a semi vowel in British English, and it most certainly can act as a vowel. I’m not sure where you were educated, but I think you missed out on some grammar lessons.

Player Dennis, all I can think of is that in British English we usually refer to y as a semi vowel and are taught that it can “act” as a vowel, but is not a vowel. I agree that in the word many it is acting as a vowel, but I didn’t count it as such when I added up the vowels.

dwilliamsmustang, Thankyou! I thought I was missing something. There are two people looking at others, and we only know that one of them is married.

10 / 12. All quite straightforward!

Player Dennis, I counted it that way, so I got it wrong, also!
