An old treasure map has the following instructions: Stand next to the black rock and face West. Walk 20 metres and then turn 90 degrees clockwise. Walk another 10 metres and then turn 45 degrees anticlockwise. Walk another 15 metres, turn around 180 degrees. Turn 45 degrees clockwise and walk another 10 metres. In which direction are you now facing?

A.

E
B.

W
C.

N
D.

S
E.

SE

Correct Answer
D. S

Explanation
The distances are not relevant to the question. So track the direction through each stage. You can do this in your head or use your hand like a compass face and follow each stage like this:

Start: West
Turn 90 degrees clockwise. Now you are facing North.
Turn 45 degrees anti-clockwise. Now you are facing North West.
Turn around 180 degrees. Now you are facing South East.
Turn 45 degrees clockwise. now you are facing South.

This is one of the few questions that translates well to actual police work because you must know your cardinal points, north south east west in order to navigate, give directions and follow directions. In an emergency this knowledge can save lives.

A.

So it was proposed
B.

Was proposed
C.

Because of the proposal

Explanation
The sentence starts with the connector "SINCE" and the blank is after the comma. This means you need a subject, verb or both. Options "A" and "C" are eliminated because they also have connectors. Options "B" is eliminated because it has no subject. Leaving option "D" as the correct option.

How is my mother's sister's brother's wife's child related to me?

A.

brother
B.

uncle
C.

Cousin
D.

Nephew

Correct Answer
C. Cousin

Explanation
There is an extra relation here to confuse you. The mother's sister's brother is of course the mother's brother. And the brother's wife's child is also the brother's child.

So now you can read it as the mother's brother's child. This is easier to identify the answer as your cousin.

A, e, i, m, q, u, _, _

A.

Y, c
B.

B, f
C.

G, i
D.

None

Correct Answer
A. Y, c

Explanation
The letters are increasing by four increments. You can count this on your hand like this:

Thumb: a
Pointer Finger: b
Middle Finger c
Third finger: d
Pinky finger: e

This shows that each letter is on the thumb and pinky. Make sure you reset each count. So in this case 'e' becomes the thumb (so you sort of count it twice like this).

If you're really in a hurry on this it is a good guess that y,c is the correct response because this is the only answer that has a letter AFTER 'u'.
