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

"you don't actually need to know algebra to solve it

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

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
