How Smart Are You?<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
I tripped on some wording and tricky language (got 7 out of 11; normal intelligence; whatever).
But I still feel that the answer to question #8 is wrong. It is because of the way the question was asked "how long would {they} last?". It does not matter "WHEN" the action was done... if you get my drift.... (trying not to spoil anything)
Yep, I was tricked with question #10, too, bah humbug.

The answer is 60 minutes because the question assumes you took one of the 3 pills immediately.
8.A doctor gives you three pills telling you to take one every half hour.
How many minutes would the pills last?
60 minutes, Start with the 1st pill, 30 minutes later take the 2nd pill, then 30 minutes later take the 3rd pill.
No, no. Look at the question again:
"How many minutes would the pills last?"
First pill (30 minutes, and even that is not established)
2nd pill (30 more minutes)
3rd pill (30 more minutes)
So I really think it's 90 minutes. (I don't care if somebody take it immediately, then 1 more in 30 minutes, then 1 more 60 minutes later.)

I agree. Those questions are answered in a literal sense, yeah.
I guess for that question, it could have been worded this way:
"How long would it be for the last pill to be taken?"
The answer would be 60 minutes as it says.
"How many minutes would the pills last?" is simply too vague and a bad question.
