Are You Smarter than a First Grader?

[hm1996]

This puzzle with clever twist is stumping adults, but many 6-year olds solve it in under 20 seconds.

Because I find it odd that 6 year olds can figure it out but adults have a difficult time? I'll tell you where to send your tithe, if you want to worship.

Don't know about 20 seconds but I didn't get it until I looked at the problem in green below the video.

Thanks for the day brightener, hm.

 

[NdIndy]

Now why in the world would I have ever thought to turn the dang thing upside down?
After all, I don't read upside down.

A big chunk of iq tests involve 3d manipulation of objects in your mind.

I guess I passed first grade, I know which way to hold my paper so I can read it.

The first picture of the test is flawed. Another version is available that I believe is more like the original. If you notice, the "1" is made to look like 16 rather than an upsidedown 91. This would prevent one from thinking of turning it the correct way. Also the lines on the parking stalls give it a better depth perception. I believe it is easier to solve the original.....at least that is what I am going to believe to make me feel better.
