Logic Test (Posted on 2004-12-19) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Answer each of the 8 questions with a letter from A to D. The word "answer" in the test refers to YOUR answer, not some hypothetical "best" answer.

After choosing the 8 answers score the test by comparing each question with your answers.

Score 1 point for each question answered correctly, 0 otherwise.

Keep re-taking the test, trying to get the highest possible score. (Of course you must know what the highest possible score is in order to correctly score the last question!)

(1) The next question with the same answer as this one is:
(A) 2 (B) 3 (C) 4 (D) 5

(2) The first question with answer C is:
(A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 3 (D) 4

(3) The last question with answer A is:
(A) 5 (B) 6 (C) 7 (D) 8

(4) The number of questions with answer D is:
(A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 3 (D) 4

(5) The answer occuring the most is: (if tied, first alphabetically)
(A) A (B) B (C) C (D) D

(6) The first question with the same answer as the question following it is:
(A) 2 (B) 3 (C) 4 (D) 5

(7) The answer occuring the least is: (if tied, last alphabetically)
(A) A (B) B (C) C (D) D

(8) The highest possible score on this test is:
(A) 5 (B) 7 (C) 6 (D) 8

Solution Brute force by VB program | Comment 1 of 13

My program found it possible to score a 7 by answering all but the last question correctly:

(1) C (2) A (3) D (4) C (5) D (6) D (7) B (8) A

When the program was evaluating each combination of answers, it temporarily interpreted the last question as "The best score I've gotten so far is...". It would only save the maximum point producing combination of letters, so if, say, the answer to (8) was "C" and the total points for the first seven questions was 5, it bumped 5 up to 6.

I have a feeling I have stumbled into some obvious error by doing that.
