your coworkers are dumb

Tell them that the size of a hand and their skull is directly proportional to their intelligence. If their thumb and pinkie can touch the far sides of their cheekbones, then they are of above average intelligence.

Then push their hand into their face

My coworkers prefer these kind of questions.

That site better not be a joke... I've stared at the first question for 2 minutes already...

Holy Sh*t those are hard!... I got a few correct (with 100% certainty), and a few more of them I know how to figure out, but don't want to take the time, as the whole thing took me quite a while...

Peter Funt, who took his father's role on Candid Camera, did something similar on the show once. He asked random people on the street "How can I divide seven-eighths by three-quarters?" "Basic 6th grade arithmetic" he noted.

Obviously, the show is edited, but people could not answer the question. Other answers ranged from "you can't do that" to "I think it's 10". Eventually someone gave the correct answer - invert then multiply.

It wasn't even a trick question - just elementary school arithmetic!

i wouldnt honestly not get that if someone asked me in the street. the way i do math, i gotta see it on paper. and if someone jsut came up to me and asked that... i would be like... 'uhhhh i dunno.' *shrug*
