[zippy]

Okay, my friend sent this to me while she was taking an IQ test online. I think I have the answer, but I can't verify it with the place she took the test at (it doesn't give you the correct answers once you finish!).

So here is the question...

John likes 400 but not 300; he likes 100 but not 99; he likes 2500 but not 2400. Which does he like:
900
1000
1100
1200

 

[GL]

900.

 

[Helpless]

1000

 

[Helpless]

Here's why:
--------------
400 = 20^2
100 = 10^2
2500 = 50^2
and 900 = 30^2

Here's the answer explanation, ROT-13 encoded

Wbua yvxrf cresrpg fdhnerf fb ur yvxrf 900

To decode the above msg just do this from a linux console:

echo "Wbua yvxrf cresrpg fdhnerf fb ur yvxrf 900" | tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M'

 

[GhettoFob]

900, he likes square numbers.
