Let all the letters A to Z equal unknown numbers.
Some of the more intelligent among you may know that
(a-n)(b-n) = ab - n(a+b) + n^2
QUESTION:
Solve (a-n)(b-n)(c-n) .. (there's more but I'm not going to write it all out now am I) .. (x-n)(y-n)(z-n).
It's rather simple, really. |

yeah IQ is based solely on your capability in the algebra
if you have a low IQ there is no possible way you can work the problem out
and if you have a high IQ then you will no doubt figure it out |

@Chief:
you don't actually need to know algebra to solve it
this question was aimed at a primary school |

oh right i apologize
if you do not excel in math then you have a low IQ
no exceptions
that is why all these questions that supposedly test your IQ are all mathematical |

you're too young to be so cynical
at what point did I say that this question defines your entire IQ |

"you're too young to be so cynical"
Everybody says we're too young
But I know all the things that they just can't see
"at what point did I say that this question defines your entire IQ"
while you did not come right and say it, it was implied |

@Emeraldd:
everyone seems to be doing the nth term recently
@Chief:
reading too deeply into things will give you a headache
also the "too young" thing was sarcastic because it's a thing adults say about most of this generation |

NO WAIT 0!
Because eventually you get to (n-n) and that = 0. And zero times anything is zero. |

"reading too deeply into things will give you a headache"
oh yes
i should just abandon trying to be an individual in some way and instead just conform to the masses
because not only does thinking deeply give you a headache, it is much easier to be like the rest
"also the "too young" thing was sarcastic because it's a thing adults say about most of this generation"
thank god my response to that was a playful reference to "I Just Want to Touch You" by Utopia
crisis averted |
