Here is a really hard one. Try to find out the next symbol in the line.

Upon hitting that link: HTTP1.1 STATUS 403 Remote Access to this object forbidden This file cannot be directly accessed from a remote site, but must be linked through the Brinkster Member's site. Wow. That IS a puzzler. :)

You can't use remote link to image files with a Brinkster account. If you rename the file in your Brinkster database to "iq.txt" and hotlink to that filename, it should work.

Easy, the symbol would consist of two " 5 ", one of them mirrored.

Correct. If you had not seen it before, you're a genius.

Not really. TLF got it (didn't post the answer because it had already been said) and she's one of the stupidiest people she knows. :D

:confused: can someone explain :confused:

TRC -

Divide each image down the middle vertically. Look at the right side only. You should be able to see the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4. The symbols are the number, plus a mirror image of it. I tried to find an image of the solution symbol, but my really quickie search didn't yield any results. Then I got bored.

But picture, if you will, a 5 with a mirror-image 5 to the left of it. It will look like a circle with a vertical line coming out the top, and a horizontal line across the top of the vertical line. Or something. Whee.

In other words, put a piece of paper on the monitor covering the left half of the image.:D

oooh!! wow u guys r smart lol i was lookin at it from the side and stuff and i tried to figure out where the 5 came from. lol thanks salvage and zaphod! :D

Or you could have watched some episode from the Simpsons to find out.

[Salem4]

That's right. In the Simpsons episode where Lisa is afraid she has the "Simpsons-gene" that makes her stupid, her first worry is this brain teaser on a packet of space-lunch which everyone (even Ralph) can figure out, but not her.

Frankly, i think elementary school students would have big problems solving this one. It is certainly one of the most difficult one I have ever seen.

Yes, it's simple, yet quite difficult at the same time. Don't ask me to explain that. It' sounded good in my head.
