Why did you have to say "Most Harvard students don't get this right..." Because now there are a bunch of 9 year olds thinking that they're gods and mathematical geniuses..

Raina Pink 1 month ago 'Me: looks at title "doesn't that just mean the other half get it right"' No it doesn't. That's the useless, no value added answer, that SERVES NO PURPOSE, other than to make a lame attempt to get a laugh. What it really means is that half the Harvard students are NOT SMARTER THAN A SIXTH GRADER. I would then say, that this sounds like an AMERICAN HOMELAND NATIONAL SECURITY CRISIS. Suggesting Trump aught to climb up on the stick, before it comes out his mouth!!! ? What do you think?

Then you go home, back to your parents and plead and apologize to them for being an absolute wastrel of every golden opportunity they gave you and you beg THEIR forgiveness, and you keep doing this procedure up every hour of every day until you turn 18 when they kick you the hell out-of-there and you have to start earning your own board and keep. Then you beg your way into a job, and every day you beg, and apologize, and ask forgiveness of your boss, and his boss, and his boss and do this 6 days and 23 hours, and the one hour you're not doing that to your bosses, you do it to you pastor or priest. And you'll be doing this for the rest of your life, apologizing "Because you were just asking, instead of being intelligent and thinking for yourself" There ain't no sanctuary no place to hide for you except a cardboard box under the bridge. And of course on the Trump White House Cabinet, as an adviser and a door knob. where everyone wants to give you a crank. And I wasn't joking, I was DEAD SERIOUS.

Mike J. I watched the video from beginning to end, and my analogy is an easy way to explain the concept of System 1. They answered the question like a reflex rather than problem solving through it, because they thought it was easy. Plus, it explains the title of "50% of Harvard students missing the question", which was my objective with that comment. I've had my fair share of test questions I've missed because I didn't think about it hard enough, thinking that it was a no brainer. I'm not saying they're a bunch of idiots. However, they got the question wrong, saying they made the correct play isn't right either. Breezing through the questions, which is instinctive in this instance, was the wrong choice.

Mike J. If that's the case, well, I guess anyone would've gotten it wrong. It's pretty hard to answer those when you're in System 1. I guess that explains why professional test takers would only have a 50% win rate against those questions. They were forced into System 1.

Do you agree that the first one could be misleading? If you say that 5 machines takes 5 minutes to make 5 widgets, you can interpret that each machine takes 5 minutes individually and they work at the same time, OR that 5 machines take 1 minute each, operating one by one and resulting in 5 minutes of work. So the answer could be: a) 100 machines taking 5 minutes to make 100 widgets b) 100 machines taking 100 minutes to make 100 widgets

The reason students get simple tests like these wrong is because they are drilled to be fast and not to be thorough. Often they get confronted with exams in their school life which they can only finish if they solve the questions fast and don't take time to think about the problem.

Question 2 says it takes 5 machines 5 minutes to make 5 widgets. So EACH of those 5 machines, are making their ONE widget. 5 minutes is how long it takes for a widget to get made. ONE machine making ONE widgets takes 5 minutes. They just happen to have 5 machines at the same time. So if you have 100 machines. It's still gonna take 5 minutes. Question 3 Every day the patch DOUBLED. 48 days the whole thing is covered. that means on day 47 it was half way covered. (think half of a pizza) next day, (day 48) it doubled. (a whole pizza) :D
@deeptochatterjee532
@deeptochatterjee532 8 жыл бұрын
Potatoes Have Feelings Too If it takes x minutes for 5 machines to make 5 widgets, then you can multiply the 5 by 20 to increase the product to 100 widgets without changing the time. So it will still take x minutes which in this case is 5 On the 48th day the whole lake is engulfed, and the patch doubles everyday, then we can reverse the process and say the day before the patch was half as large. The day before was the 47th day and half as large as the entire lake is half the lake. So it must be 47 days

I hate how all these people in the comments talk about people who got these questions wrong as "retarded", "morons" and "stupid". That is not the point of these kind of tests. If you see that question about the bat and the baseball, the first thing which will pop up in your head is "10 cents!". Then some people might think "Wait ... but what if I missed someting ... let's think it through .... " Let's be honest here ... who didn't thought immediately "10 cents!". I did and I eventually answered "5 cents", but if I'm honest: this is only because the title of this video already suggests it's about a trick question, so I was extra aware. If I didn't knew anything about the test and I had to answer it within a time limit, I think I would be one of those people that answerd "10 cents!". It's just how our brains work. Our brain has a bias towards lazy (but efficient!) solutions. Which is a good thing btw, because most of our daily tasks don't need very deep thinking. So I don't see it as shocking that 50% of Harvard students got this wrong. Seeing the world in black and white, a world of intelligent people and "morons", not being honest that everyone makes mistakes like this because that's just how are brains work ... that is REALLY stupid.

So this thought doesn't count: "Wait, this is not 10 cents of course, it's 5 cents", because then you obviously thought that it was 10 cents first.

+Dodec84 Yeah initially. I'm in a similar spot: when the video said "most people would say 10c", I was like "lol wut, that doesn't add up". Perhaps it was the presentation in the form of an equation, but I immediately filled in the second equation, realized I had two linear eqs in two variables, and it was just a matter of cranking out the algebra. I'm totally prepared to believe that some people won't go down the wrong track, especially since we're primed even from the video title that trick questions are about to ensue. That said, I'm kinda ashamed of how long it took me to put the equation together for question 2, and then only realizing after I had solved it that there's a neat little lateral move that can be done. Oh well, such is life.

+Jarod Bassett Except it's not. think about it for a moment. Each day it doubles. so from day 4 to day 5 it doulbes in size. This means that from day 5 to day 4 it reduces in size by half. If it takes 48 days to cover the entire lake, it takes one less day to cover half of it. If each day the amount doubles, and we call the current day 'n', then the amount of Lilly-pads is 2^(n-1) multiplied by the starting amount. For day 1 that would be 2^0=1. for day 48 that would be 2^47=140,737,488,355,328. 1 is definitely not half of 140,737,488,355,328. You misinterpreted the question. The question is *not* asking how long it would take to fully cover the lack from half covered. It's asking how long it would take from the beginning to cover half the lake. Which would be one day less than the amount it takes to cover the full lake.

+R. pizzamonkey I agree that 5 minutes answers question 2 as presented, but there are quite a few implicit assumptions in question 2. That is, all of these mystery machines are (a) copies of one another, (b) are started at the same time, (c) and are only being iterated once. Even though it takes five minutes for 1 machine makes 1 widget per iteration, I could easily have 1 machine make the widget per year. It would then take 100 years and 5 minutes to get all 100 widgets. I'd probably die before this finishes if I haven't transferred my brain into a computer, by then.

@ Jeremy: You're doing exactly what the writer of that question expected you to do -- see what appeared to be a pattern and then lazily jump to a conclusion without really giving it any thought. Yes, it's tempting to do that, because it avoids so much effort. But it's wrong. 5 machines taking 5 minutes to make 5 widgets does NOT equal one machine taking one minute to make one widget. In fact, in this scenario (if you think about it -- and of course, that's the whole issue: you have to *think!* ), it would take one machine 5 minutes to make one widget. If it takes one machine 5 minutes to make one widget, then 5 machines could make 5 widgets in the same amount of time (5 minutes). So then you can see that 100 machines could turn out 100 widgets in 5 minutes. If the question had said it takes 5 machines *_seven_* minutes to make 5 widgets, the easy (but incorrect) "answer" wouldn't seem so obvious and tempting, and most people would probably get the answer right. It's the fact that all three numbers are "5" that throw people off, because it strongly appears to be a pattern (our brains are evolutionarily wired to recognize patterns) and it makes people think that all of the 5's are directly mathematically related, but in fact only the first "5" and the last "5" are.

It's simple once you get the logic. You know you have 2 items, so that gives you the two. x simply represents the price of the said objects. So together, they are 2x. Separately, x + x. But one object must cost 1 more than the other. So (1x+1)+x. When you simplify that, you get 2x+1. 1.10 is just the total they must add up to given by the problem.

daniel mayse Correct. The way i answered this question in my head was the following: We know that the bat is $1 more than the ball. Taking that knowledge subtract that $1 from the total. You seperate that for a moment. You are left with 10 cents that have to be split by the two equally, since the initial value should be equal(Plus the $1 of course). So theb you have the bat and ball costing 5 cents. Then you just add the $1 to the bat and there you go. $1.05 and $0.05
@hoihoi1312
@hoihoi1312 7 жыл бұрын
Let B be the value of the bat (in dollars) and let b be the value of the ball (in dollars). The equation can then be expressed as follows: B + b = $1.10. We know that the bat costs a dollar more than the ball, so we can write B = b + $1.00. If we substitute that into the original equation, we get b + $1.00 + b = $1.10. If we solve that, we get b = $0.05. We can substitute that into the original equation and solve for B. B will then be $1.05. Solution: The bat costs $1.05 and the ball costs $0.05

For nr. 3 you don't have to math the problem.

Part of the question is that the ball has to cost 1 dollar more. Therefore you have to place 1 dollar at the bat, and the split the remaining 10 cents to between the bat and the ball (5 cents each). This gives you the answer: 1.05 bat and 0.05 ball.

Toxic air number 2 is also correct. The machines are able to make 1 widget a piece every 5 minutes. 5 of them can make 5 widgets in 5 minutes. That means you could have 20 separate rooms of 5 machines a piece, each room would have 5 widgets made within 5 minutes. Now you can add all the machines together to reach your 100.

*5 minutes* because each widget takes 5 minutes to produce. As long as you have an equal amount of machines & widgets - It will always be 5 minutes... 8 Machines will still produce 8 widgets in 5 minutes. However 8 Machines will take 10 minutes to produce 16 widgets. *47 days* because It doubles in size each day so, 1 day ago it was half the size...

Why even bother making a second equation ? If the ball = x and the bat is 1$ more, then the bat is x+1. If you add them together it should make 1.10$ so x+x+1=1.10 2x + 1 =1.10 2x = 1.10 - 1 2x = 0.10 x = 0.10 / 2 = 0.05. You shouldn't make a second variable if you don't have to.

You already know that the bat is 1 more than the ball so it is 1+x. This gives you that 1+x(the bat)+ x(the ball) is 1.10. So 2x = 1.10 - 1 So 2x =0.10 So x= 0.05

For those that didn't understand the last 2 questions: 1. Each machine takes 5 minutes to produce the widget, so if there's 100 they'll all produce 1 after 5 minutes. 2. Each day they double in size, so when it doubles from the half size it becomes full. If it's full on the 48th day, then it doubled after the 47th day.

I am a mechanical engineer who did not go to Harvard. I got the question right, and so did all of my mechanical engineering colleagues. Couple this observation with the statistic that less than 50% of Harvard students are majoring in the math and sciences - majors which involve regular exercise of system 2 thinking - we can make the general conclusion that the Harvard bit is just clickbait.

+Aadil Faizal If it take 5 minutes for 5 machines to produce 5 widget, then each one of the machines take 5 minutes to produces 1 widget. If you have 100 machines they still use 5 minutes to produce 1 widget each. And since there are 100 machines, every machine only need to produce 1. So the produce rate is the same in both cases and both take 5 minutes :)

thought process number 1 the bat is 1 dollar more than the ball with the total price being 1.10. you can think 1+2(0.10/2)since there are 2 items with an original combined cost of 0.10, before you add in the 1 dollar. number 2 the number of machines are the same, the number of widgets are the same, therefore the amount of time must be the same. the fact that all the numbers are 5 in the explanation is just to mislead you. Think of it this way, 5 machines and 5 widgets make a whole, or "1" and it takes 5 minutes to reach it. 100 machines and 100 widgets also forms a "whole" identical to the "whole" from before, thus the time to get it should be the same, 5 minutes. number 3 focus on useful information, especially "double in size" and the time in takes to cover the lake, which is 48 days. you can deduce that you have to reverse the doubling process by x, because it says "half the lake" opposed to "entire lake", you can translate "entire" and "half" into 2 and 1. what does it take to get from 2 to 1? -1 (days), -1 is x. 48-1=47.

A big issue with standardized tests like the SAT is that they are timed. That could also be a reason why so many people get questions like that wrong. In real life, you usually have no time limit or your time limit is days, months, or years long. For example, if I am investing stock, I can buy and sell at my own pace. I can analyze the market at my own pace and maneuver in the fashion I find most effective for me. There isn't a teacher at the end of the room yelling "10 minutes left." I may feel pressure to buy or sell but at the end of the day it's my call and I do things at my own pace. Even natural world problems allow for more time. If I'm out in the woods alone trying to survive, I typically won't have just 30 minutes to decide how I'm going to eat, 20 minutes to decide how I'm going to get water, another 30 minutes to figure out how I'll get shelter, without any ability to go back and change the last decision while I'm working on a new one. Reality doesn't work that way. The arbitrary time restrictions on these tests make the tests a lot less practical. I think standardized tests fail to account for the fact that real world problems do not always require an immediate, rash decision; rather, they rarely do. It's usually much more effective to ponder about things and think deep and hard about them before you make your decision. That's why something like impulse buying is so detrimental to anyone trying to build their wealth. Making rash decisions, as if you don't have time to wait and think about them, are much more likely to lead to negative results. Obviously, if you are hanging off of a cliff and you have 20 seconds to decide how you're going to solve this problem, these tests appear more practical. But for the most part, this isn't the case.
