Question 1

A man is standing south of a park. He walks to the park, enters, and walks straight through, exiting the other side. He then turns left. In what direction is he now walking?

Accepted Answer

West

Answer

He started south of the park, walked north through it, then turned left — turning left from north means turning west. Wait: walking north then turning left = west. No — turning left while facing north gives west. But option 0 is East. Let's re-examine: walking south-to-north through the park means he exited the north side, still facing north; turning left from north = west. Actually the answer should be West, so the correct index is 1.

Question 2

A is B's only sister. B is the father of C and D. D is the mother of E. How is A related to E?

Accepted Answer

Grand-Aunt

Answer

B is E's grandfather (B→D→E). A is B's sister — therefore A is the grandaunt (great-aunt) of E.

Question 3

P walks 7 km west, then 24 km north. What is the straight-line distance from P's starting point?

Accepted Answer

25 km

Answer

Using the Pythagorean theorem: √(7² + 24²) = √(49 + 576) = √625 = 25 km.

Question 4

Person A faces south, turns 135° clockwise, then 45° counterclockwise. What direction does A now face?

Accepted Answer

Southwest

Answer

Start south; +135° CW from south: south→west is 90°, west→northwest is another 45°, so 135° CW from south = northwest; then −45° CCW from northwest = west. Hmm: south+135°CW = south(180°)+135° = 315° = NW. Then NW(315°) − 45° = 270° = West. Answer: West.

Question 5

Which of the following is NOT possible? A is B's maternal uncle. B is C's paternal cousin. C is D's maternal aunt. D is A's son.

Accepted Answer

This creates a paradox — A cannot be both uncle of B and great-uncle-level to D while D is A's son

Answer

If D is A's son and D is C's maternal aunt's child (complex), tracing back leads to A being in the same generation as B, C, and D through multiple cousin/uncle links, which creates an impossible circular generational contradiction.
