Solarys' l33t BRAIN TEASERS!!!
OK, here is a thread for my l33t BRAIN TEASERS
Note these multiple-choice questions require LOGIC, not plain guessing, to figure out, because you must MUST EXPLAIN WHY you've chosen your answer! (If you want the answer and explanation, say "give up", so I won't mistake it for an answer.) *There is only ONE correct answer for each question unless specifically stated!* ***EXAMPLE ONLY*** Q: Which of these Pokemon is the odd man out? a. Mew b. Mewtwo c. Alakazam d. Jirachi e. Ralts A: c - Because Alakazam is the only evolved Pokemon in that list. ***/EXAMPLE ONLY*** OK, here is question #1: About GROUPING Which of these Pokemon do(es) not fit into this group? 1. Articuno 2. Porygon2 3. Ralts, Kirlia and Gardevoir 4. Deoxys 5. Ninetales Choose one of these answers and say WHY you've chosen it: a. 2 and 3 b. 5 only c. 2 only d. 1 and 4 e. None of them (Hint: Their appearances DO NOT matter!) |
That's an easy one. Articuno and Deoxys. They're the only legendary Pokémon in the group.
|
I'm sorry, but you're WRONG! (not even close!)
I'll give you another hint: Their types and stats DO NOT matter either! EDIT: I changed the wording of the question to make it slightly easier. |
B. Ninetales, it's the only one that can't learn a psychic type move (Articuno learns Extrasensory in XD)
|
Hmm...I love Brain Teasers I guess e.None of Them....

Um... Smarties you answer were right, but your reasoning wasnt correct - it was WAY OFF!
Final hint: Look at the NUMBERS!!! - It's got everything to do with NUMBERS!!! EDIT: Ninetales learns IMPRISON, and it's a psychic type move! EDIT2: If no one manages to get the correct reasoning, I'll post the answer along with Q2 by midnight tonight (NZ time). You have a whole day to figure it out - it's VERY OBVIOUS!!! EDIT3: COME ON ppl!!! its not that hard!!! its OBVIOUS!!! Think why i put numbers before the pokemon? |
I know this isn't the correct answer, but I'll give it a try anyway. The answer is E, Ninetales, because the rest of the Pokémon come in order in the national dex, but Ninetales definitely doesn't come after Deoxys.
|
E is right. But the number thing isnt that complicated :D
It's the numbers related to the pokemon thats important! (Why did i use Porygon2 instead of Porygon for the second pokemon?) EDIT: 1 and a half hours remaining on this question!!! :D |
The answer is too obvious! Of course, Ninetales isn't one of the group, because the rest of them have a number matching the amount of forms they have.
|
OK, I'll call it right.
Actually: Look closely at the BOLDED bits: 1. Articuno (uno = one) 2. Porygon2 3. Ralts, Kirlia and Gardevoir (family of 3) 4. Deoxys (4 forms) 5. Ninetales See how Ninetales doesnt fit into #5? (It doesnt matter if you dont know that uno means 1, because there isnt an option "1 only".) |
Right, here is Question #2:
It's about a bouncing Spoink (Just a brain teaser, it's got nothing to do with Pokemon really): A Spoink fell into a well 12 feet deep. He could bounce 3 feet, but every time he bounced 3 feet, he fell back 2 feet. How many times did he have to bounce to get out of the well? Choose one of these answers and say WHY you've chosen it: a. 4 b. 6 c. 8 d. 10 e. 12 (Hint: Note my bolded parts! :D) ***This is an easy one, but Q3 will be hard!*** |
E. Spoink is only going up 1 foot each jump, so it would have to jump 12 times to get out.
Oh, and as a friendly suggestion, try not to double-post... |
E is not right, sorry!
Read the question again and take note of the bolded words. Another hint: Why did I not just say that he bounces 1 foot at a time? (I had to post 2 mesages, 1 is the answer to Q1, the other is a new question. otherwise its confusing.) EDIT: It looks like there isnt enough ppl answering this question... I'll give it another day or so :) |

The Spoink question is easy.
d.10 the ten first jumps will always get it 1 foot up, but there is no need to jump the last two times because after it has got itself 10 feet up, it can just jump the last three feet with one jump and get out. |
Smarties is right!
"Get out" doesnt necessarily mean "stay out" :) Question 3 will be harder!!! (I'll avoid double posting, Q3 is right below.) ******************************************************* Here is question #3: It's about a PATTERN Start: Regice 1: Mawile 2: Entei 3: ????? 4. Machoke 5. Mew Finish: Sableye Choose one of the following to replace "?????", and say WHY you've chosen it: a. Suicune b. Trapinch c. Nosepass d. Umbreon e. Volbeat Hint: Each of those Pokemon represent more than just itself! And there is a 2-way pattern to this. |
Nosepass. The pattern goes like this:
Regice is weak against Mawile, Mawile is weak against Entei, Entei is weak against Nosepass and so on... |
darn i was gonna say that -_-
|
Yes, Nosepass is right, but there is a pattern going the other way as well, see if you can figure it out. :)
(It's pointless to put anything before Regice, and there is nothing can go after Sableye.) :) |
sabley is strong against mew strong against machoke strong against nosepass...etc =P
|
sableye is good against mew (dark > psychic)
mew is good against machoke (psychic > fighting) machoke is good against nosepass (fighting > rock) nosepass is good against entei (rock > fire) entei is good against regice (fire > ice) I think that's the second pattern EDIT: Darn, grandadvanceshipper already said it. |
LOL you got the first obvious part right. but the real pattern is like this:
every pokemon in the list is WEAK to the one BELOW, and RESISTANT to the one ABOVE. And each pokemon represent its TYPE(S). That's why nothing sensible goes in front of Regice (Ice), because ice is only resistant to itself, and nothing can go after Sableye, because it has no weakness. ***Question #4 is coming soon :)*** |
OK, question #4 here:
It's a fun one, and it might require some thinking, also it might not :) OK, imagine there is a evolution machine that increases the evolution level of any Pokemon that enters by 1, e.g. if a Ralts enters, it becomes a Kirlia. Here's the question: 3 different Pokemon with a total of 3 legs entered. When they came out, they all had the same number of legs. If a "leg" is defined as something a Pokemon stands on, and given that one of the Pokemon entered was a Gloom, then what were the other 2 that came out? Choose one of these answers and say WHY you've chosen it: a. Dragonite and Porygon2 b. Dusclops and Grumpig c. Kadabra and Banette d. Claydol and Shedinja e. Dugtrio and Magneton Hint: Consider the branched evolution. |
The answer is E, Dugtrio and Magneton
It says that it goes up by one, and gloom has 2 legs.. And Magneton has 3 heads [3 being one more than the 2 legs gloom has] and the same occurs for Dugtrio and for the question about the pattern, where the answer was nosepass, the answer could've been a 4 letter pokemon, As if you count the number of letters in each, it goes up by 1 except for the missing one :) |
