Big Brain Academy for DS

[pontifex]

In Big Brain Academy one of the tests is to choose which thing weighs more.

some of them are obvious but then some of them just make no sense to me.

for instance, they'll have a scale with like 2 apples on one side and a ring on the other side. the scale is balanced. WTF?????? how can you choose which weighs more if its balanced?

Then they've got one with 2 or 3 scales with like 6 different things weighed.

an apple and a orange on 1 scale - orange being heavier, a cherry and apple on another - apple being heavier, and a banana and 2 apples on another scale - banana being heavier. you can only choose one which is the heaviest...again, WTF????

If 2 apples = 1 ring, each apple weighs half as much as a ring, so the ring is heavier. It gets more complex with multiple scales and weights, but the premise remains the same. All of them are solvable.

It's testing your quick division and transitive skills. I.e. if A > B and B > C, then A > C.

This game is so much fun when you play with 8 people total. The weight game is just one of many that is just so retardedly fun when you are competing with other people.

Though the load times when only 1 person has the game is god awfully long.
