1. A bat and a ball cost £1.10 in total. The bat costs £1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?
2. If it takes five machines five minutes to make five widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?
3. In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads. Every day, the patch doubles in size. If it takes 48 days for the patch to cover the entire lake, how long would it take for the patch to cover half of the lake?

I was at a hotel this summer and glanced at a complimentary copy of the USA Today. A letter to the editor actually referred to Princess Hillary as "the most qualified person to ever run for the Presidency." Really. It is one thing to have a difference of opinion, it is another to be downright dopey.

I’m clearly an idiot. I got the first one wrong (duh), misread the second one, and got the third one right.

Actually there are 2 correct answers to the third question, because they didn’t word it explicitly enough.
47 days is one answer. 1 day is also a correct answer.

[[2. If it takes five machines five minutes to make five widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?]]
Trick question- we don’t know if the 100 machines are as fast as the 5 or not- they could be a lot slower or faster-
The correct way to ask would be “If ALL widget machines ever made take 1 minute to produce one widget...”
I want my money back from the test

That’s a tricky question, too. The answer is...
... The same as if you got them all wrong.
Taking a test has no effect on your IQ.

Above average! If I had to guess answering all three correct probably puts you at a minimum IQ of 115-120.

Given the speed of widget making, one machine would still take five minutes to make a widget.

I got 2/3. I understand my mistake. I felt I had the first one wrong, and I did.

47 days is one answer. 1 day is also a correct answer. I disagree. If it takes 48 days to cover the lake, and the lilly pads double every day, then 1/2 of the lake is covered on day 47, 1/4 on day 46, 1/8 on day 45, etc.
How do you get 1 day as an answer to the question "how long would it take for the patch to cover half the lake?"
