Support materials – Part 1 with numbers

How do you solve an IQ question with numbers?

Try to find a
connection between
numbers

With Apply mathematical


row(s) operation between numbers Apply what you
Find the direction found and find
Read the missing
With row(s) rule
everything number(s)
carefully in squares Apply mathematical operation
between numbers, after you found
a connection
With
domino Apply either the direction rule
right-left or the “X” rule (diagonal)

Apply mathematical operation


between numbers, after you
found a connection
Try the next IQ questions
1. With row(s)

1.1. Smart level !!!

1.2.
Solutions:

1.1.
Here, you need to find the mathematical operation between two numbers. The logic is by adding a number
to the next one you will obtain a nice number. -2+2=0, 2+9=11, 9+13=22, 13+20=33, 20+24=44, 24+31=55,
so the answer must be 66-31=35. As you can see, every number has the same digits (11,22,33…) and only 0
which is the first number in the resulting row has just 0. This is a smart question.

1.2.
The rule here is to multiply the first number in a row by the third one (in the same
row) and you find the middle number. Also, another logic is the first number is 1+third
number. So, the solution here will be 72, and 8. 9-1=8, and 9X8=72
2. With row(s) in squares

2.1.

Pay attention to all cases


2.2. in a square like this one!
Smart level !!!
Solutions:

2.1.
It’s not very hard. You need to find the direction rule which is down and the mathematical operation.
You need to add all numbers in a down row. For example, 5+2+4=11, and 3+4+4=11. So, you will find that
the result must be 11. You apply this to the third down row, and you find the solution 11-5-3= 3.

2.2.
It’s a smart question, but if you were attentive to my explanations in the video, you know that besides
direction rules, there is another special rule. The squares in the middle of external rows have a
connection like the squares in the corners of the whole square. You just need to find the mathematical
operation. It is adding the numbers. 3+5+3+1=12, and 2+1+3+6=12, so the results are the same, and this
means the middle number will be 12 (the result from both connections)
3. With domino

3.1.

See all directions,


and rules.

3.2.
Solutions:

3.1.
The amount of circles in the upper square of every domino piece is the same. But the number of
circles in the lower square of every domino piece is equal to 1+the number of circles from the
last square. The result will be 4-3.

3.2.
Pay attention to my explanations. Another direction rule can be in the diagonal. This is the
direction rule here. Apply it together with a mathematical operation. You will find that the
mathematical operation is by adding numbers (in diagonal), and there’s another mathematical
operation, the second one, where you need to add 1 to the result. So, the solution here will be 6-4.
