It bugs me that the 'street arrow' one bugs me.
Obviously I get what answer is intended by the question, but it's worded just poorly enough that one has to make an assumption to get the "right" answer.
The point is less about choosing yellow or green and more about people who're too stupid to even attempt to model the two possible assumptions.
It's no big deal; the ambiguity made me stumble too. It's probably a sign of distaste for ambiguity more than anything.
sounds like you're at about body temperature IQ
Good thing I've got a fever.
...from yellow to green following the direction of the arrow.
Y >-------> G
Seems straight forward, no?
What if your arrow points to the right but you imagine the entrance to the neighborhood on the right?
But the point of the question is not to score a point if someone answers yellow and not if they answer green. The point is that if you can come to an answer at all, you pass. Okay maybe not if you answer purple, but you get the idea.
Fair,
When I read one way street my mind immediately associates the arrow going the same direction as traffic rules...
It doesn't say to so that, so I guess I couls have sone better on the test.
Only if you assume the house is the same colour as the arrow on the street.
What makes you think the arrow doesn’t point left to right, and the entrance of the neighborhood is on the right? It just says that there is a color gradient on the arrow, and the house numbers increase from the entrance. how the two correlate requires assumptions.
There is no right answer for that one. Maybe that’s part of it? Or you state your assumptions to get full credit.
There is only one best answer. If yellow is not your answer you need to start generalizing parts of the question to justify your answer, which is really you changing the question. The question is in fact written perfectly to indicate what the correct answer is, without literally defeating the purpose.
The house is at the yellow end of the street. But, declaring that the house is yellow because that portion of the street is yellow is a false inference. It would be the same as saying that the houses at the other end of the block are green because the grass in front of them is green.
yellow is a false inference
It is implied by the question. If the color of the house can not be inferred then it is a trick question.
