Word, let's go.

I'm always down for a free meal from a fan.

I was getting caught up on the last pages of threads and I came upon this:

So I go to the first question: Which letter does not belong in this series? H D R Y L

I have seen similar questions before, so I start running through my list of possibilities: Is it a mixture of letters and vowels? no. Are the letters almost in order? no. What do the letters look like in standard book code? 8 4 18 25 12. Now I start running through my list of number sequence possiblities. Are the numbers in order? no. Are they primes? no. Are they a mix of odd and even? Yes. So my answer is Y is the odd one out. Is this right? I have no idea.

I go to the second question: Which alpha-numeric is the odd one out? 9D 8F 3E 6C

I again begin to enumerate. The obvious answer is that 3E contains 3, an odd number. The second possibility is that these numbers are in hex. In that case both 8F = 143 and 9D = 157 are odd, while 3E = 62 and 6C = 108 are even, so that's out. Another possibility is that the numbers are in hex and one is prime. In this case 62 (31x2), 108 (9x12), and 143 (11x13, I checked a list of prime numbers [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]) are not prime (11 x 13, I googled) but 157 is. Both solutions match so I select the hexadecimal one a-priori because prime numbers are cool.

Hehehe. Must be weird being a normie. Honestly, that whole exercise exhausted me and I all I did was read your desperate mental groping. I look at those questions and I just know the answers. I don't even have to consciously think--patterns are that apparent. I've only taken a few IQ tests because frankly I don't need a number--it was affirmation enough growing up in the 99% percentile on standardized tests--it has always been enough just knowing I have an advantage over people like you. By which I mean dumb people, of course.

This excerpt in particular was very interesting and illuminating in my quest to better understand the primitive thought processes of the American Neckbeard:

The first number you read was nine. It is also an odd number. Your very first enumeration--the initial impression by which you format the whole exercise--is flawed and in a way which suggests you are major dumb. I cannot imagine how terrifying it must be to be capable of such loose thinking. The fortunate thing is I've heard there's some blissful agent associated with being dumb as shit and so you'll never mind.

I am mean before I've had my first cup of joe and I apologize but you know what's even weirder?

The thing about 3E that made it conspicuous to me was the fact it was the only option which included a vowel. Also, there's a nice symmetry to 3E just from an abstract, purely visual point of view--if you can remove the customarily attached significance of those symbols. That's easier done if you haven't had your first cup of coffee. Anyway, it really got me thinkin'.
