Intutive vs Analytical

[Marsellus Wallace]

According to social psychologists Will M. Gervais and Ara Norenzayan, your answers depend show how likely you are to believe in God or the supernatural. I'm curious if our answers will support the psychologist hypothesis.

Here's a perfect example of how correlation is not causation, its just that most religious ppl are stupid and most atheists are smart .

Just for fun, answer the following question without looking up the answers. And please hide your answers.

aye, aye, sir!


1. A bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs $1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?

---

__$0.05__cents
price of bat = $1.00 + Price of ball
Total price = price of bat + price of ball
Total price = $1.00 + price of ball + price of ball
Total price = $1.00 + 2.price of ball = $1.10
2.price of ball = $1.10 - $1.00
2.price of ball = $0.10
price of ball = $0.10 / 2 = $0.05

2. If it takes 5 machines 5 minutes to make 5 widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?

---

__5___minutes
Sooo... each machine takes 5 minutes to make one widget... they're working in parallel, so it's still 5 minutes.
It's the same deal with parallel processors, it's not that they process faster, it's that they can process more at the same time.

3. In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads. Every day, the patch doubles in size. If it takes 48 days for the patch to cover the entire lake, how long would it take for the patch to cover half of the lake?

---

__47___days
At day 48, the lake is full.
At day 47 the lake is half full, because the next day the patch will double and take the whole lake.

Here is the score distribution so far. I was hoping to get some theist to participate to see if there is any noticeable difference.
