Mensa Quiz

Even smart people make mistakes, especially when it comes to logic. Witness question #6 from a "Mensa Quiz". "The people of American Mensa, the High IQ Society, have put together 10 teasers...." Here's one:

If 1/2 of 24 were 8, what would 1/3 of 18 be?

Hint: their answer, 4, is incorrect - they're not as smart as they think! Here's their "solution" - what's wrong with it?

They're also wrong about question #4; why? Notice, however, that when these folks want to find out how smart you are, they ask you a bunch of math questions!
