    I was going to say, if this were in a Layton game there would be some trick answer like his face.

    That’s easy. The answer is A: 2024. The other answers would require either the zero or the four to be plural.

    • snooggums@piefed.world ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      B: 0044 is both plural which is as consistent as A: 2024

  That’s what always bothered me about exams. They’re always about what the examiner wants to hear and not about what is right.

    Go into a Math based field. No more trying to read your professor’s personalities to figure out what their opinions are so you can bullshit them into a good grade. Just cold, hard numbers. Often many ways to get to the same answer, but at the end, you are either right, or you are wrong.

    I can’t stand subjective questions. How the fuck are you going to tell me that my interpretation of an abstract concept is wrong?! I’ll stick with numbers, thank you.

      I found my people. I always did well in English class, but I hated it, and liked math and science more for that exact reason. There is no intepretation or better answer, there is a exact method to get the right answer and you can easily check/prove why you’re right. No tricks or suprises, what you see is what you get, purely facts.

      Now, I can write essays just fine, and I even enjoy them if it’s a topic I choose to write about. But those shitty standards of learning tests that we’d do in grade school fucking killed me. I was so suprised that I liked my college Lit course, we didn’t do bullshit like that, it was all about group discussion and intepretation of what we read that day.

      Teaching just to meet standards really needs HEAVY reform/revision.

      School trains you for real life. Repeat back what your boss told you, in a confident enough way to make it sound like you understand what’s happening.

    sounds like you went to a bad school. not all of us had that experience.

  • dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    For me, it was always where the teacher had to add their own flair and/or questions on top of the textbook ones. They were always the most ambiguous to answer, and cost everyone points. Of course, in American public school, we’re not taught to challenge our elders and call bullshit when we see it. So everyone takes the -5% on the chin, except that one kid that accidentally got that one right.

  I would go with C, because:
  A) Not filled
  B) Doesn’t have 4 sides/corners (or sum of angles is less than 360 deg.)
  C) Isn’t red AND the only shape with all right(ish) angles

  So C is most unlike the others.

  source

  • BakerBagel@midwest.social ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    C does have 4 sides and 4 corners and all of its corners add up to 360°, amd as A since the interior angles of all quadrilaterals add up to 360°

    source

    • Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      C is regular, A and B are irregular

      source
    • funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I think OP is saying it doesn’t have smooth sides or corners and is not a quad at all, but actually an irregular polygon due to the jittered sides and overlapping corners.

      source
    • abfarid@startrek.website ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yes, that’s exactly what I said. B doesn’t have those things you mentioned, meaning A and C do.

      source
  • tetris11@feddit.uk ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I would also go with C, but for different reasons:
    A) is the only one not filled in
    B) is the only three sided C) can partner easily with A and B

    so C because he’s the most chill

    source

    • abfarid@startrek.website ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      But all of them can equally be partnered with any other, because if you don’t count the right angle difference they all have the same amount of differences and are equally “chill”.

  Reminds of the game Set. It’s a card game, but there are many online versions. I loved this game while growing up.

    I’ve seen this before as a minigame and cannot play it. I would like a version of the game where you’re presented with three cards and asked to identify whether or not they’re a set, with no time limit, so that my brain might have a chance to develop whatever skill I’m lacking. I’m currently having to brute-force combinations, which is far too slow a method with the time limit. (Which was also the case for said minigames.)

    But mostly I’m curious what the nature of my impairment is, because I think it’s neurologically interesting. I wonder if dyscalculia makes it harder to play Set?

    source
  • MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Numberphile did a video about this game and to my recollection the person presenting it actually had a distinct game of set they and their math friends would play. It was pretty interesting!

  … only one choice is green.

  How is this difficult, other than if you are r/g colorblind?

  The correct choice is C.

  If you pick A, B is also red, and C is also an irregular 4-gon. So A is not unlike either B or C.

  If you pick B, A is also red, and C is also filled solid with color. So B is not unlike either B or C.

  But if you pick C, while C does have elements in common with A and B, it is also unlike each of them singly, as well as both of them together, in that it is green.

  C is the only choice where ‘is unlike both of them’, them being the other choices… is true, in any sense.

  It has a distinct property.

    … only one choice is a triangle.

    How is this difficult, other than if you are shape blind?

    The correct choice is B.

    If you pick A, B is also red, and C is also an irregular 4-gon. So A is not unlike either B or C.

    If you pick C, A is also an irregular 4-gon, and B is also filled solid with color. So C is not unlike either A or B.

    But if you pick B, while B does have elements in common with A and C…

    (it shares ‘red’ with A, and ‘solid color fill’ with C)

    … it is also unlike each of them singly, as well as both of them together, in that it is a triangle.

    B is the only choice where ‘is unlike the other two’… is true, in any sense.

    It has a distinct property, not found in any member of the remainder set, nor shared by the remainder set as a group.

      What a fool you are!

      … only one choice is an outline.

      How is this difficult, other than if you are line blind?

      The correct choice is A.

      If you pick B, A is also red, and C is also a filled solid. So B is not unlike either A or C.

      If you pick C, A is also an irregular 4-gon, and B is also filled solid with color. So C is not unlike either A or B.

    2 shapes are the same colour

    2 shapes are filled

    2 shapes have four sides

    the point of this is that there are multiple distinct properties not found in any member of the remainder set

    source

    • sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      No.

      You are wrong.

      “Select the image that is unlike the other two.”

      The only possible choice that results in a set of 2, and a set of 1, which are seperated cleanly by a distinct property, is picking C.

      The goal is to define a difference between potential sets such that a distinct property exists between the two sets that you create.

      To define two sets where unlikeness exists when they are compared.

      Your job is not to merely compare three elements.

      It is to compare three possible pairs of sets that can be made out of three elements.
