About Concentration Quiz
Concentration Quiz is a free memory games quiz with 20 multiple-choice questions aimed at mixed difficulty. Pay close attention! These tricky questions test your focus, attention to detail, and careful reading skills. A typical run takes about 9 minutes, hints are always one tap away, and your streak ticks up the first time you finish a game on a given day.
A few sample questions
1. A farmer has 17 sheep. All but 9 run away. How many sheep does the farmer have left?
Answer: 9
'All but 9' means 9 remain. It's easy to instinctively subtract 9 from 17, but read carefully!
2. How many months in a year have 28 days?
Answer: 12
All 12 months have at least 28 days! The question doesn't ask which months have exactly 28 days.
3. If you're running a race and you pass the person in 2nd place, what place are you in now?
Answer: 2nd place
If you pass the person in 2nd place, you take their position — so you're now in 2nd place, not 1st.
4. A doctor gives you 3 pills and tells you to take one every 30 minutes. How many minutes will it take to finish all the pills?
Answer: 60 minutes
You take the first pill immediately (0 min), the second at 30 minutes, and the third at 60 minutes. Total: 60 minutes.
5. Which is heavier: a pound of feathers or a pound of gold?
Answer: They weigh the same
A pound is a pound! Both weigh exactly one pound, regardless of the material.
Things you'll learn along the way
- You took 4 apples, so you have 4. The question asks how many you have, not how many are left in the basket.
- Exactly 4 months have 30 days: April, June, September, and November.
- If a man has a widow, that means he has passed away. A deceased person cannot marry anyone!
