Anyone know how these riddles work?

[handoverfist]

Like you can eat pizza but you can't eat pasta.

you can be "x" but you cant be "y"

and you are supposed to figure out the pattern... Anyone know?

It would go something like (off the top of my head)

Jeff likes 1000, but not 900. He likes 100,but not 99. He likes 49, but not 50. Which of these would he like? (15,27,297,456)

I don't think that can be solved, but that's just an example.

I'm angry at numbers. There's like too many of 'em, and stuff.

You sure those numbers are right?

The problem you posted resembles one in which all the numbers that he likes are perfect squares.

Yeah, I think it was supposed to be something like "He likes 400 not 300 and 100 not 99 and 2500 not 2400 what number does he like?" and the choices are 900, 599, and 223 (or something)

400 = 20^2, 100 = 10 ^ 2, 2500 = 50 ^2, so 900 is the answer (30^2)

I saw it on that emode.com IQ test...That's solved just by recognizing the pattern...you recognize the pattern by having a high IQ

That one's easy, you can be things with 2 repeating letters. Drink beer, not water.

I didn't recognize it. I must not have a high IQ.



But not that it has been explained, I'd recognize it if I saw it again. That means I now have a high IQ.

Woohoo!
