Annoying IQ Test
-
"1" was the logical answer, but, as it wasn't confirmed, I tried to examine this as a what's-next-in-series type of question. This just didn't make it, and, as it was presented as part of an IQ test, brute force methods are (should be) excluded. So I googled "1=5 2=25" and came up with: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/blogger/thread?tid=2570697c07e3c6e3&hl=en[^] The poster of the question (a level seven whatever it is) congratulated other posters on their correct answer: 1 So why, exactly, were you annoyed?

"If you are searching for perfection in others, then you seek disappointment. If you are seek perfection in yourself, then you will find failure." - Balboos HaGadol Mar 2010
that was a different question; read the rest of the sequence. 1 is obviously wrong there for all that the smartass got the most votes...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

Someone ask me this IQ Test and I got really annoyed when I found out the answer. Here it is: If 1 = 5, and 2 = 125, and 3 = 450, and 4 = 1250, then 5 = ?
