LOL OP your answer's wrong

[Zyzz]

This thread sucks.

Here is my own question.

10 people are lined up facing one direction, so each of them can only see the people infront of them. A randomized colour, white or black, hats are placed on top of each person's head. These people cannot see their own hats and can only see the colour of the people's hats infront of them.

Each person will be asked the colour of his own hats starting from the back, i.e. the person who sees all the hats. Each person will be allowed to say black or white only, and if hes wrong, hes dead, and if hes right, he lives.

Think of a solution that 9 people survives.

and you even got your own answers wrong too on this simple question OP before the edit

what a fucking retard

All of you guys answers G... Can you guys explain.
I see that the boat is the lowest. But isn't the water line on things
floating in water dependent on the overall size of the object?

I could be wrong of course. But i'm thinking like how when you see an iceBerg,
There's an equal amount under water that there is sticking up above the ocean.

So a boat lower to the water just means the bottom in not as deep?
Not necessarily more heavy?

since you didnt mention if they are allowed to communicate or if they can only say one word:

if the first person tells or yells everyone's colors out
OR
if the first person sacrifices himself and says the color of the person in front of theirs and so on. But then again if the first person guesses right, 10 ppl all survive

"proper answer" where they arnt allowed to communicate

Spoiler!

The prisoners can use a binary code where each blue hat = 0 and each red hat = 1. The prisoner in the back of the line adds up all the values and if the sum is even he says "blue" (blue being =0 and therefore even) and if the sum is odd he says "red". This prisoner has a 50/50 chance of having the hat color that he said, but each subsequent prisoner can calculate his own color by adding up the hats in front (and behind after hearing the answers [excluding the prisoner in the back]) and comparing it to the initial answer given by the prisoner in the back of the line. The total number of red hats has to be an even or odd number matching the initial even or odd answer given by the prisoner in back.

I had the same thoughts - but if you look at the question again, it states that all 4 ships are identical (in size). Therefore, you can deduce that G has the heaviest load.

pretty easy. guy at back yells out colour of everyones hats in order, and then to increase his odds of survival, chose his colour based on whichever colour he sees less of.

btw, is the op in grade 3?

lol lets not get technical here

and can someone explain each answer? i just want to know if my reasoning is right

A-smallest wheel=smaller diameter=>smaller circumference, so less "ground to cover" when rolling

G- identicle sizes, and the deepest one into the water has more load

M- when water reaches it, the protruding contact point will absorb/divert the energy/impact

R - bigger handle? too obvious?

I agree with your reasoning, except I'm not too sure about the dam question...

As for Question #4, I can't really explain it, but it has something to do with the distance from the pivot point/fulcrum.

[Hehe]

A
Can't tell (because commercial boats are designed to be able to control its height relative to cruise condition)
M
All the same because there is no option for can't tell... you can only make certain if you know the size of the thing (assuming fingers in this place) and points pf applying pressure. Assuming it's dead center for all 4 and finger is same size as the smallest key (so the biggest key isn't distributing the weight in a wider area)... it's all the same.

Other than the question about the dam that most people probably don't know the answer to, the other questions are dead giveaways compared to other tests that mock common-sense.
