Feel like this question has too much common sense involved to actually be "tricky." Short of being brain dead the answer should be in your head before you even start thinking about it.

At least with the bat and ball question that was posted earlier you had to think about it for even a split second before you realized its just a long winded way of asking whats 10 divided by 2.

I never actually answered the question. Yes, I'm smarter than most Americans.

I had a grandpa who couldn't read or write so he obviously had never read a book, yep, he talked like a simple man would. But.....he could cook better than any woman I have known, he played the guitar, the fiddle, the harmonica, the drums. He could fix anything broken, an ace mechanic, he could grow the biggest tomatos, he knew how to get people to do what he wanted done, and in a way they wanted to do it.

I have a buddy who can't even change his oil, can't cook, can't play anything who is a lawyer.

Intelligence???


I can't imagine anyone knowing more "stuff" than myself but is that intelligence?

Most fun match to watch was Dave Matlock and Buddy Hall at Shooters in Olathe. Probably 1995 or 1996. I've never seen any players drink as much as those dudes cumulatively drank and still look absolutely in control. We watched for probably two hours and it was great. They were playing 8 ball on bar boxes for like $1000 a set. Cash on the table, that stuff is so fun to watch.

With most of these types of riddles you have to get thinking on the right path, which is often predicated on quickly understanding what is actually being asked, like the ball question. If not you will get bogged down in a way that will never produce the answer and it’s hard to move off of what you think should produce the answer.
