The Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT), also known as the world’s shortest IQ test, claims it only takes three questions to tell if you’re a genius.


Developed in 2005 by Princeton psychologist Shane Frederick, the quiz assesses your ability to process information slowly and rationally, rather than jumping to quick conclusions. “In order to succeed in the CRT, you must spend time reflecting on your answer and question your intuitive response,” IFL Science explains.

Before you get started, we’ll give you a quick hint: the questions might not be as easy as they first seem. A 2003 study found that students attending some of the nation’s most prestigious universities (including Harvard and Yale) failed to get all three of these questions correct; only 17 percent received a perfect score.

Think you have what it takes? Give it a shot! Here are the three questions:

1. A bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs $1 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?

2. If it takes 5 machines 5 minutes to make 5 widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?

3. In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads. Every day, the patch doubles in size. If it takes 48 days for the patch to cover the entire lake, how long would it take for the patch to cover half of the lake?



I'll post the answers tomorrow.

Leaks, especially from people in the intelligence community are dangerous to the country. The Prime Minister of England hinted that they may reduce sharing of intelligence. It's a well known "secret" that the leaks are coming from Obama loyalists in the government. Liberals celebrate this despicable traitorous behavior because they see it hurting the present administration. If it keeps up it will have devastating consequences for all Americans. I do put some of the blame on Trump. He should have fired every Obama appointee day 1.

Fox news asked an interesting question, Why did Comey wait so long to disclose his memo on President Trump's alleged request to drop the Flynn investigation. We only have his word of "honor" (and using that term in connection to Comey.... well) that the conversation took place. http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/FBI-director-memo-James-Comey/2017/05/16/id/790553/?ns_mail_uid=63131763&ns_mail_job=1731337_05172017&s=al&dkt_nbr=zhwzkc1d If you all may remember, he had no problems using his "memos" and such as a weapon against President Bush.... It is interesting. All conversations in the Oval Office is tapped, I wonder if those tapes will be released for the day the supposed conversation took place. Keep in mind, under the law, Comey was required to immediately inform the Department of Justice of any attempt to obstruct justice by any person, even the President of the United States. (18 USC 4 and 28 USC 1361). But he did not, he held on to the information until after he was terminated.

So.... is Comey a liar? Was his memo a CYA action?

The day before these subpoenas investigating Flynn were issued, Comey went to Rosenstein and Sessions to ask for more resources in Russia Investigation. It is a clear map of obstruction of justice by Trump. Then add this. Trump's letter firing Comey mentions the Russia Investigation but makes no mention of the supposed reason given for the firing, how Comey handled Hillary email mess. Trump never criticized Comey's handling of the Hillary investigation but instead wanted him to do more. Trump had strong ties with Flynn for some reason, requesting that Comey let Flynn off the hook, the same Flynn we know was embroiled with Russia. Was the president concerned what Flynn might reveal and tried to de-rail the investigation? Trump admitted he had already decided to fire Comey well before the DOJ suspicious timing of their "recommendation."

Under Obama, Democrats lost 1030 elections including the WH. Isn't it true that voters are finally becoming more patriotic and conservative?

Your question assumes two things, that Obama and the Democrats are progressive (they aren’t) and that only conservatives are patriotic (they aren’t).

Progressives are perhaps the most patriotic.

It was progressives who fought to end slavery (Yes, isn’t it amazing Republicans were once the ones championing progress.)

It was progressives who fought for women’s right to vote.

It was progressives who were beaten and victimised while fighting to pass the voting rights act.

It was progressives who fought against the war in Vietnam.

It was progressives who fought against the war in Iraq.

Today it is progressives who fight against the DAPL.

Today it is progressives who fight against the devastating effects of Climate Change.

Today it is progressives who fight for civil rights for transgender Americans.

Progressives fight to make America better, on each and every one of those issues the conservatives have been on the wrong side of history, they are the ones looked back upon with shame. When time passes progressives are always the ones who are looked at as the patriots, standing up to injustice.

BREAKING: Top Obama Official Seeks Immunity to Spill the Beans

Angry Patriot ~ May 14, 2017

The recent firing of former FBI Director James Comey has put many Democrats on notice. Now, the lawyers for another former top official in the Obama administration are seeking immunity for their client.

Susan Rice, the former National Security Advisor to Obama, is now seeking a way to testify without facing the music herself. Rice’s lawyers have approached the FBI with the idea that Rice, who stands accused of ordering illegal wiretaps on journalists and President Donald Trump, with spill the beans so long as she’s free from a major criminal investigation, via Infowars.

Ever since the scandal has come to light, Rice has tried to avoid the glare of the interrogator’s light. For instance, she refused to testify before the Senate during their investigation into the Russian hacking conspiracy, via CNN.

On other counts, Rice has attempted to clear her own name by giving supposedly candid interviews to “serious” journalists.

In each interview, the fact that Rice is a compulsive liar comes through time and time again, via FOX News.

Rice has a reason to be evasive. The House is currently looking into whether or not Rice ordered the NSA to spy on Donald Trump and his team before the inauguration. According to some evidence, all of this was done with foreign intelligence services as cover, via The Washington Times.

If convicted, Rice could face serious jail time. With immunity, she may name bigger names than herself.

Now, with Comey gone, the investigation into Rice and her cronies looks likely to continue. One of the major reasons why Rice is seeking immunity now is because without Comey, the FBI no longer serves the the interests of the Democratic Party.

Rice’s testimony could implicate people like Hillary Clinton, Loretta Lynch, or even Obama himself. From the emails that have been leaked by WikiLeaks, it is clear that former AG Lynch tried everything in her power to stop the investigation into Clinton from proceeding too far.

Similarly, the defeated Clinton campaign launched the Russian hacking theory a mere 24 hours after the final election results. This means that they may have been involved in espionage to find evidence for their claims, via Breitbart.

Should Susan Rice be prosecuted for her crimes? Let America know!

POLL: SHOULD SUSAN RICE BE PROSECUTED?

Yes

No

In a perfect world, Rice would be forced to testify without immunity. However, if her testimony can finally bring down Clinton, Lynch, and Obama, then that is good enough for us.

Keep draining that swamp.

Teachers worry they always have to be “neutral.” When Donald Trump demanded to know if former FBI Director James Comey would be “loyal” to him, Comey would only promise to be honest. His loyalty was to law, the Constitution, and justice, not Donald Trump. In the same way teachers and students should not simply be neutral, or balanced, when evaluating history or current events.

Our “loyalty” must be to basing opinions on evidence, analysis, and reason, three qualities that appear to be missing in the current administration.

Let me repeat one line for all you guys who just insult or whine objections: "Our “loyalty” must be to basing opinions on evidence, analysis, and reason, three qualities that appear to be missing in the current administration" and most Right Wing posters of OPP. Saying something is false or wrong without any "evidence, analysis, and reason" is childish.

Here is something to seriously consider: Possible Charges Against Donald Trump Justifying Impeachment (Students and teachers can add your own ideas to the list): Income Tax Fraud; Building code violations; Bribery to obtain contracts; Defrauding students; Violation of election laws by collusion with Russians; Jeopardizing national security through collusion with foreign powers; Misuse of Presidential authority to obstruct justice by blocking investigations; Lying to the public and the press; Violations of first amendment press freedoms; and, Stupid tweets.
