Is it not 40 cents? There’s definitely a logical reason for that answer.

You are telling me that if you heard that for the first time you would break down how many vowels were in each word and price the fruit out to 20 cents per vowel? Riiiiiiiiight.

I mean, if you have a history with word games and problem solving, then sure, that’s pretty easy.

It is a fairly narrow form of intelligence assessment, but it does have a validity.

When problem-solving in an artificial setting, such as a hypothetical question, one needs to structurally recognize a couple of assumptions; that there is a right answer, and that you are provided enough information to find that right answer. With that basis, the task becomes finding the pattern where a pattern isn't apparent.

You are given the information that question wants you to know, and you are given the conclusion the question wants you to divine. Once you place yourself in that, admittedly artificial, cognitive space, the answer has a singular rationality.

Many of those who have responded with yes, probably suffer from this problem. Drooped Head Syndrome, it's when your head is so full of knowledge you can no longer hold your head upright, it becomes too heavy. I'm here to tell you we have the answer sold on Amazon for the low low price of $29.99, and if you buy now, we'll include a second for free, just pay a small additional shipping and handling fee.

I just feel like that question is one of those childhood kid games where 1 kid came up with some arbitrary way to price fruit and started asking his friends how much a pear cost just to make himself feel smarter.

For instance I could say, an apple cost $0.10. A mango cost $1.30. A grape cost $0.70. How much does honeydew cost?

No, because I fell for the trap and entered this thread.

80 cents.

Abstraction, thinking outside any specific framework.

Before I attempt to answer, does the highlighted text have information to provide a singular ineluctable answer?

Yes.

I'm sure you've already seen the answer.

My momma says alligators are ornery cause they got all them teeth but no toothbrush.

Despite my high ACT test scores & grades as a scholar, I presume I am of below average intelligence. My reasoning? I have a very small dome. Like I wear size 7.0 hat. Studies have shown the larger the dome, the more likely you are to have great intelligence. You know, like aliens.

And also everyone on Chiefsplanet seems to always say I'm a moron or and idiot when I state an opinion on. Anything. And we clearly know how many geniuses we have here on Chiefsplanet based on these poll results.

Clear empirical data.

Yeah? Well. . . .
