is a way of training your logic through analyzing a situation and solving
it with a logical explanation. So we can guarantee that if we analyze
the set of numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 we can tell that the next number is 5
(five). However, in order to get to this result, it is necessary that
we look carefully on how the numbers are set together and how they are
related to each other. From this we can predict what the next number
will be.

Game rules:
There are 4 (four) types
of challenges:
1. Simple sets.
We
introduce a set of numbers and you have to type the missing one.
Exemplo:
1 3 5 7 ...
In
this case the next number would be 9 (nine), once the next number
is always equals to the previous plus 2 (two)
2. Line / column sets.
It
is made up of 3 lines and 3 columns with a total of nine numbers,
but one of them is missing. So we have to check each number, line
by line or column by column, searching the logical relationship between
the numbers.
Exemplo:
1 3 4
3
2 5
4
... 9
In
this case, the missing number in the last line number 5. The 1st line
or column plus the 2nd line or column is equal to the 3rd line or
column.
P.S.: The 3 lines 3 columns format has a peculiarity comparing to
the others. The logic valid to the the lines, automaticaly will be
valid to the columns. So, if the first line plus the second is the
same as the third line, then the first column plus the second is the
same as the third column
3. Double set.
It
is made up of two lines with 4 numbers each, or 4 columns with two
numbers each. The relationship between the numbers could be either
horizontal or vertical.
Exemplo:
12 18 6
21
4
6 2 ...
The
missing number is 7 (seven), once that the bottom line is equals to
the top line divided by 3.
4. Double pentagon
set.
It
is made up of 10 numbers divided in two sub-sets of 5 numbers each,
the relationship between them could be seen by examining each pentagon
at a time, or by observing the extremities of each pentagon.
Exemplo:
2 7
4
6 2 1
6 8 9 ...
The
missing number is 8. The top ending plus the middle ending is equal
to the bottom ending.
Scores:
The scores follow the following
steps:
1.
We count the number of correct answers of a question.
2.
We count the number of blank answers of a question times 5.
3.
We count the number of wrong answers of a question times 10.
4.
Bonus. We count the number of answeres that the user answered during
the current month that has the same question number, independing if
the answere was right of wrong.
Ex: Scores obtained by a user on question number 3.Considering that
100 people answered the test today, 60 answered right, 30 answered
wrong and 10 left it blank. The scores refered to the 3 first items
would be:
60 X 1 = 60 scores (correct).
30 X 10 = 300 scores (wrong).
10 X 5 = 50 scores (blank).
If until the present day,
the user answered 10 times question number 3, independing of them
being right or wrong, we add 10 scores to it.
Total scores for this question:
60 + 300 + 50 + 10 = 420 scores.
Checking on the
answers:
The answers for each test
will be given on the next day to the test's day. The answers for the
previous tests (up to 5 days ago) may be obtained at any moment, by
informing the day of the wanted test. It is allowed to answer tests
up to 5 days in advance, however the scores and the answers will only
be available on the next day to the test's day.
