Japanese IQ test

Post by aaronhall »

Well, not really a standardized IQ test, just a problem solving exercise, so I thought most of you would have fun with this... The OP says it's used on Japanese job applications, but I'm not sure how accurate that is. Anyway, have a blast, and no posting solutions

The animation (japanimation?) is undoubtedly awesome. I think it took me about that long to solve it (probably longer), but couldn't even tell you how I did it now.

Had to do it twice to make sure I understood it.

Man that thing inspired rage.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

If someone figures it out, please let me know. Spent about 10 minutes trying to figure it out before I lost my mind. :oops:

I gave up too man... I have work to do and I could have spent the rest of my day doing that (and I would have if not for some discipline!).

Piece of crap game. It won't let me move the husband and a son over if the mom and the daughters are already over there. What kind of crappy flash is this.

nice puzzle... a bit tricky...

I'll say that the way I solved it, there were 17 distinct steps I had to do in order to get them all across. I won't say any more for now.

I was to a point where I caught myself thinking "why the hell did this dysfunctional family bring along a thief to begin with" :madblow:

Fine, after your little 6 minute bragging I got it in 2.

Of course I spent all afternoon wanting to kill it, but I am better now because they are all safe on the other side.
