3 logical deduction
(a) Who's on duty
Information: If Alice comes on duty, Bob will go off duty. If Bob leaves then either Carl or Donna will ask Eve for help. If Eve is asked for help by either Carl or Donna and Bob goes off duty, then Eve will help them. If Eve is asked for help by either Carl or Donna and Bob has not gone off duty, then Eve does not help them. If Bob does not go off duty, which of the following statements can be logically deduced from the information? There may be more than one true statement.
Statements: A Carl asks Eve for help B Donna asks Eve for help C Alice does not come on duty D Eve helps either Carl or Donna E Eve goes off duty
(b) Bee boxing Information: There are 900 boxes to be filled with bees at the annual Cakdon Bee-Boxing Tournament. Alice and Bob working independently but at the same time (as a team) take 30 minutes to fill the boxes and get first prize. We need to know how long it would take Alice working by herself to fill the boxes, and we know the following facts:
1 Alice fills half as many boxes as Bob 2 Bob would take 45 minutes to do the lot by himself
A fact 1 alone is sufficient, but fact 2 alone is not sufficient B fact 2 alone is sufficient, but fact 1 alone is not sufficient C both facts together are needed -neither one alone is sufficient D Either fact alone is sufficient E These facts are not sufficient -more info is needed
(c) Mr Cakeliner Information: Mr. Hairy Cakeliner of the planet Gong was recently admitted to hospital suffering from immediate obvious trauma, having taken three thousand two hundred and thirty illegal substances. He had 8 minutes to live before dying of laughter. The medic had to calculate whether the contents of Mr. Cakeliner's stomach could be neutralized by nanobots before he died. There are two types of detox nanobots, and both were used for the sake of speed. The two types work in the same way and don't interfere with each other, type 1 is just faster. The following facts are known: 1 If only nanobots type 1 are used, the average stomach is detoxed in 10 minutes. 2 If only nanobots type 2 are used, the average stomach will be detoxed in 20 minutes.
Question: Which of these facts made it possible for the medic to answer the question? -Choose from the answers below: A fact 1 alone is sufficient, but fact 2 alone is not sufficient B fact 2 alone is sufficient, but fact 1 alone is not sufficient C both facts together are needed -neither one alone is sufficient D Either fact alone is sufficient E These facts are not sufficient -more info is needed A Not a chance B Probably not but a slight chance C about 50-50 chance he made it D Probably, but slight chance of failure E Yes he probably made it

How many meanings can you think of for the word 'RUN'? You are a new detective taking on cases you know nothing about.
Here are the case notes for case 1: Evidence forensics: no signs of break in, evidence implies one of these four people murdered one of the others, one of the members of the family witnessed the crime, and the other one helped the murderer, then they all fled taking the body with them.
Here are the case notes for case 2: The killer is a bit of a nutter and challenges the cops by leaving notes in various places around the woman's home. There was one in the drawing room, one in the outhouse, one in the art studio, and two in the nursery.
Your partner Alice, fellow detective, who was mere days from cracking an international black market trading ring has suddenly gone missing. While inspecting her last-known location, you find signs of a struggle, and under a cushion on the couch is a calculator showing the following number:
You don't know exactly what the black marketeers are selling and currently there are 3 suspects for the boss of the operation: Billy Goats, John Paul, and George Ringo. Can you understand Alice's message and find the leader's name and the substance being smuggled? Case 4 You are reading some of Alice's old case notes to catch up on recent incidents and you come across this case:
Recording of the conversation: “This is the XXPD; is this Joan Smith’s residence?” [the line went dead] About ten minutes later, a car pulled up. The husband got out, and on seeing the woman, rushed to her and started crying. Obviously I charged him with murder and arrested him on the spot! Can you tell WHY Alice arrested the husband immediately on meeting him?
5 coconut confusion Three dudes in Alice's Tribe are trading coconuts for seafood. The trader from Bob's tribe wants 15 nuts for one bag full of seafood. Each dude from Alice's tribe contribute 5 nuts. The trader takes the nuts to the chief (Bob), who recognizes the three from a distance as friends and asks the trader to give them 5 nuts back. But the trader is dishonest, and instead of giving them 5 nuts back he simply gives them 1 each and keeps the remaining 2 coconuts for himself. Now, each of the Alice tribe dudes effectively gave 4 coconuts, the total given is therefore 12. Add the 2 coconuts the trader stole and this comes to 14 coconuts..... Question: where has the other nut gone from the original 15?
6 Boomerang balls
7 Which is the odd one out?
8 The Matrix has you You've decided to get out of The Matrix and Morpheus tells you to take two red pills, type A and type B, per day at the same time as each other. You must be careful that you take just one of each because taking more of either can have serious side effects.
9 Here be Dragons Alice the Axwielder and her folk lived in a distant land on the edges of maps, inhabited by dragons and sea monsters. Eve the Evil, first born of and heir to the King, slept early to conserve her energy with her sharpened ax beside her.

12 Caesar Cipher The Caesar cipher is a simple type of substitution cipher. Now use this information to decode this message:
Four words add up to a fifth word numerically: mars venus uranus saturn -------- + = neptune
We already know: (a) Each of the ten letters (m, a, r, s, v, e, n, u, t, and p) represents a digit in the range 0 up to 9
(b) equal letters represent equal digits and different letters represent different digits.
(c) the digits 1 and 6 are being used most frequently
Question: What number does neptune represent?

17 Horny cowboys Aston Clinton and Stacey Bushes are two cowboys who fall in love with the Sheriff. She fancies both of them but doesn't like threesomes, so they ask her to devise a competition for who gets into her pants first. She decides one of them has to ride North for 50k and back again, the other has to ride South for 50k and back again. The Sheriff stations lookouts at 50k North and South, to prove the dudes went the whole way. Now here's the snag: the Sheriff says she'll bonk the owner of the LAST horse back first, but they have no way of knowing each others' progress. If they both go really slowly, neither of them will get sex for months. What's their best course of interaction?

INTERPRETING YOUR FA What this FA tells you is for you and you alone. Do not send it to us -we have our own. It requires no 'marking' or grading; the information you input is to be used for your own self-assessment only. If you wish to share your results and discuss your FA on the forums, use a nickname.
subscore c means: We find out if we can walk the path as well as knowing the path, by practical function testing. Questions are designed to test connectivity and communication between each network and others in real time interaction. Higher scores reflect higher levels of each networks' integrated ability (processes that require the network to work together in synchrony with one or more other networks) in context of whole brain integrated tasks and processes. A low score anywhere means the network isn't getting what it needs.
Questions that you marked '?' If you have questions left unanswered, note if any particular network or section has more than most. It may be that lack of understanding in some areas is skewing your results. If you need to revise some neurological terms to understand some questions, use the search function on NHA site or do a word search of past tutorials. It's fine to go back over parts one and two for each network after further study and adjust your results accordingly. You may NOT fill in missing answers from part c for any network. Here are some useful tables etc, you can use to assess and interpret your results SCORES TABLE
Check strong networks for suspected wrong input and weak networks for possible lack of input if scores are low. If a network does poorly in parts a and b but score 'c' is high, suspect wronguse. If a network does poorly overall, suspect nonuse. Compare against your basic FA and your own self-knowledge, and look for trends and changes. We don't do everything for you in this assessment, as at this level of NH you should know yourself and your behavior sufficiently to be able to assess whether a low-scoring network is affected by wrong input or lack of input. YOU know what you did last summer : ) Use the template below to note where you should hack or exercise, then make your practice plan using the outline plan in Tutorial 4 as model.
