This moron test helps you see if you think sharp or fall for simple traps by spotting trick questions, patterns, and logic twists. Work through fast brain teasers to practice quick thinking and have a laugh, then compare your score; if you want another round, try a follow-up quiz or the light-hearted idiot test .

What is the next number in the sequence: 2, 4, 6, 8, ...?
10
14
16
12
This sequence is an arithmetic progression with a constant difference of 2. Starting at 2, each term increases by 2: 2, 4, 6, 8, then 10. Therefore, the next number is 10. Arithmetic progressions are fundamental in identifying numerical patterns.
Which word is always spelled incorrectly in every English dictionary?
Never
Always
Wrongly
Incorrectly
This is a classic riddle based on a pun. The word 'incorrectly' when spelled out is literally 'incorrectly', matching the riddle's clue. No other option fits this dual meaning. It plays on expectations about dictionary entries.
Which weighs more: a pound of feathers or a pound of rocks?
A pound of rocks
They weigh the same
Cannot determine
A pound of feathers
A pound is a unit of weight, so a pound of any material weighs the same as a pound of any other. Despite differences in density or volume, both the feathers and rocks weigh one pound each. This riddle tests understanding of weight units.
What color do you get when you mix blue and yellow paint?
Orange
Green
Brown
Purple
In subtractive color mixing (paint pigments), combining blue and yellow absorbs red and blue light differently, resulting in green. This principle is foundational in art and color theory. Pigments mix by subtracting wavelengths of light.
If you rearrange the letters "CIFAIPC", which word do you get?
Titanic
Indian
Pacific
Atlantic
This is an anagram puzzle. Rearranging 'CIFAIPC' spells 'PACIFIC', which refers to the Pacific Ocean. Anagrams require identifying patterns in scrambled letters.
Which letter is three to the right of the third letter to the left of the tenth letter in the English alphabet?
H
K
D
J
The tenth letter of the alphabet is J. Three to the left of J is G (J?I?H?G). Then three to the right of G is J (G?H?I?J). Therefore, the correct letter is J.
What is the smallest angle (in degrees) between the hour and minute hands of a clock at 3:15?
7.5°
0°
15°
30°
At 3:15, the minute hand points at 90°, and the hour hand is at 3.25 hours × 30° = 97.5°. The difference is 97.5° ? 90° = 7.5°. Angle calculations for clocks use these standard formulas.
If you have two coins that total 30 cents and one is not a nickel, what are the coins?
Two dimes and a dime
Three nickels
A quarter and a dime
A quarter and a nickel
The riddle states one coin is not a nickel, implying the other could be. The only way to make 30 cents is a quarter (25¢) and a nickel (5¢). The wording is a trick to mask that one of the coins actually is a nickel.
What is the next number in the series: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ...?
10
13
12
15
This is the Fibonacci sequence, where each term equals the sum of the two preceding terms. After 5 and 8, the next term is 5 + 8 = 13. Fibonacci numbers appear in many natural patterns.
A bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs $1 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?
$0.15
$0.05
$0.20
$0.10
Let the ball cost x dollars; then the bat costs x + 1. The equation x + (x + 1) = 1.10 leads to 2x + 1 = 1.10, so 2x = 0.10 and x = 0.05. This counterintuitive result is a common cognitive reflection test.
You have three boxes labeled 'Apples', 'Oranges', and 'Apples & Oranges', but all labels are incorrect. By picking one fruit from only the box labeled 'Apples', which fruit will you draw?
Cannot determine
Apple
Orange
Both apple and orange
Since the 'Apples' label is wrong, the box contains either only oranges or both. Drawing one fruit and getting an orange means that box is the oranges-only box. From there you can relabel all boxes correctly. This classic logic puzzle tests deduction skills.
In a plane mirror, you stand 5 feet away. How far away is your image from you?
20 feet
15 feet
5 feet
10 feet
A plane mirror creates an image that appears the same distance behind the mirror as you stand in front. If you are 5 feet away, your reflection appears 5 feet behind, making the total distance between you and your image 10 feet. This principle follows the law of reflection.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Working Memory and Chunking -

    Research shows our working memory holds about 7±2 items (Miller, 1956). When faced with a long number or letter string in the moron test, group elements into meaningful chunks - like turning 14921776 into 1492 & 1776. This simple mnemonic dramatically reduces cognitive load and improves recall.

  2. Deductive Reasoning with Syllogisms -

    Syllogisms form the basis of categorical logic (Aristotle's Organon). Practice statements such as "All A are B; all B are C; therefore all A are C" to sharpen deduction. Regular drills from university logic courses (e.g., Stanford's logic resources) build confidence for tricky quiz questions.

  3. Pattern Recognition in Sequences -

    Cognitive science research (Journal of Experimental Psychology) highlights our brain's knack for arithmetic and geometric progressions. Spot arithmetic sequences by checking constant differences (e.g., 3, 7, 11 adds 4) or geometric by ratios (2, 6, 18 multiplies by 3). Training with sample problems boosts speed and accuracy on number series items.

  4. Lateral Thinking and Creativity Techniques -

    Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats encourage perspective shifts to solve unconventional puzzles. For example, play the "What else could this be used for?" game when you hit a roadblock. Incorporating these techniques (de Bono, 1967) into daily practice makes rare "aha!" moments routine.

  5. Cognitive Bias Awareness -

    Acknowledging biases like anchoring or functional fixedness prevents "trick" questions from derailing you (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). Pause before jumping to the first answer - ask "What's another way to view this?" to counteract mental shortcuts. This mindfulness approach helps you avoid simple traps and score higher on the moron quiz.
