This is not a fair question (Mensa)...

[MJinZ]

Wat.

Postbox = Mail Box

and

Postcode = Post Offce Box. <-- HOW DOES 'CODE' FIT IN HERE!?

Really? Really? D:

 

[MJinZ]

lulz. i'd love to see how you address letters

"TO:
MARY SMITH OF USA
SHE LIVES ON DWIGHT ST.
HER PO BOX CODE IS 00123
CELL #: 1-526-9443"

also, for everyone else watching: the tests on the mensa site are aimed at retards, as that is how they make most of their money these days. lots of 'tards take the quiz, think theyre hot shit, and pony up the $50 (or whatever it is now) to apply. they never pass the actual test, of course.

Pretty sure they're there for retarded assholes. Even a "post-man" can make simple logical leaps like "Code" to "Number". Even if YOU can't figure it out.

Yea, you just lol away at grammatical omissions...

A postal code (known in various countries as a post code, postcode, or ZIP code) is a series of letters and/or digits appended to a postal address for the purpose of sorting mail.

Many English-speaking countries call the codes, postcode. The term ZIP code is used in the United States and the Philippines. ZIP is an acronym for Zone Improvement Plan. Canada uses "postal code". Postal codes in India are called Postal Index Number.

So wait, is there still confusion over PO BOX not equating to a zip code/postcode/postecode/pastacode?

Only for MJinZ ... but then again... he's a MENSA candidate.. so the level of confusion is way beyond our normal understanding.

For everyone else...

A P.O.BOX is addressable lockable box located on the premises of a post office station.... and it holds your mail (instead of being delivered to your house:

A Postal Code is a series of letters and/or digits appended to a postal address for the purpose of sorting mail.

For Example, in Colorado, the local MENSA office is:
442 South Kalispell Way
Aurora, CO 80017-3718 <---- this is the POSTAL CODE

Dude, just give it up and stop digging a hole. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone is wrong from time to time. It's cool. It happens.

Without looking at subsequent posts. The first column has the cross, dot or square inside the object, the second is on the perimeter of the object and the third is on the outside. The cross, dot or square moves in the direction of transition between the three states. The first is to the right, the second is to the bottom, then the third is presumably to the left.

I'm suggesting option A.

Why is it presumably to the left, exactly?

My first thought was to the right.. lol

 

[guyver01]

Why is it presumably to the left, exactly?

assuming they intend the item to go in a clockwise pattern, the first one was right... the second one was down... the next logical direction would be left... then the fourth would be up, if there was a fourth. Then again, it could be a repeating pattern,, A B A B A B... so then it would be right in that case.

 

[Chaotic42]

I thought D because A looks "up and to the left" to me, not a multiple of 90°.

 

[gaidensensei]

You can also have the postal code affixed to your pobox also.

Mine is something like:
PO BOX 1234
City, State 98765-1234

 

[silverpig]

ok MENSA genius... solve this then

what goes in the blank white box?

None of the above.

The first row has 0 grey squares.
The second row has 1 grey square.
The third row should thus have 2 grey squares.

The blank square should be grey.

What do I win?

You could just as easily argue that it goes right, down, right, down...

 

[JJChicken]

Most Americans don't use most of the English language. That's kind of the point.

lol

yep, that's why such puzzles are meaningless to a large degree. there is no "right" answer, its all interpretation.

I too thought 'post'

Haste was the give away for me, not much ends in haste.

No SHIT?

Clearly you guys are not Mensa material if you can't figure out the mental processing of someone who does NOT use "postcode".

The word can be deconstructed to be PO Box # without even an ounce of imagination.

That happened to my first logical extraction, if yours was Zipcode, congratufuckinglations! I MOVED on to the next word from there without further thought.

Do I need to explain every elementary process here on ATOT or is everyone a fucking retard and a jackass to boot? This is rhetorical. D:

[MJinZ]

No, you can't. The assumption is that the pattern reveals itself from two given examples. Since it is a multiple question, there is only logical pattern that can connect with the first two clues.

The problem with these tests is that you have go into the test and make these assumptions - because you to have assume there is a logical way to figure out the questions to begin. If there is none, then the test is meaningless.

A post code is NOT a PO box #. They are two entirely different things.
