Look at this series of letters: A B C D E. Take the third letter, move it two places to the right, and then swap it with the letter that is now to its immediate left. What is the new fourth letter?
Answer: C
The initial series is A B C D E. The third letter is C. Moving C two places to the right results in A B D E C. Now, swap C with the letter to its immediate left, which is E. The new series is A B D C E. The fourth letter is C.
Consider the word 'WONDERLIC'. If the vowels are replaced with the number 5 and the consonants are replaced with the number 2, what is the sum of the third, fifth, and seventh digits in the new sequence?
Answer: 9
The word is W-O-N-D-E-R-L-I-C. The vowels are O, E, I. The consonants are W, N, D, R, L, C. The new sequence is 2-5-2-2-5-2-2-5-2. The third digit is 2, the fifth is 5, and the seventh is 2. The sum is 2 + 5 + 2 = 9.
Follow these instructions: Start with the number 50. Subtract 15. If the result is even, divide by 5. If the result is odd, add 5. What is the final number?
Answer: 40
First, 50 - 15 = 35. The result, 35, is an odd number. The instructions for an odd number are to add 5. So, 35 + 5 = 40. The final number is 40.
In the alphabet, what is the letter that comes four letters before the letter that is midway between G and Q?
Answer: H
G is the 7th letter and Q is the 17th. The midway point is (7 + 17) / 2 = 12. The 12th letter is L. The letter that comes four letters before L is H (L is 12, K is 11, J is 10, I is 9, H is 8).
Look at this list of numbers: 8, 15, 4, 22, 9. Arrange them in descending order. What is the product of the second and fourth numbers in the new list?
Answer: 120
Arranging the numbers in descending (largest to smallest) order gives: 22, 15, 9, 8, 4. The second number in this new list is 15, and the fourth number is 8. The product of 15 and 8 is 15 * 8 = 120.
Take the word 'PRACTICE'. Reverse the order of the letters. Remove all vowels. What is the second letter of the remaining word?
Answer: T
The word 'PRACTICE' reversed is 'ECITCARP'. The vowels are E, I, A. Removing them leaves 'CTCRP'. The second letter of this remaining word is T.
You have three boxes labeled A, B, and C in that order. Place a red ball in box A. Place a blue ball in the box to the right of box A. If box C is empty, move the ball from box A to box C. Where is the red ball?
Answer: Box C
First, the red ball is in A: [A:red, B:empty, C:empty]. Next, a blue ball goes in the box to the right of A (box B): [A:red, B:blue, C:empty]. The condition 'If box C is empty' is true. So, you move the ball from A to C: [A:empty, B:blue, C:red]. The red ball is in box C.
