My lad has Aspergers, he is a wizard at maths and puzzles. He loves 'Only connect' whereas I just stare blankly at it. He was explaining to me about a question he got right and complaining it was getting easier. If you haven't seen it, you get a series of four statements/numbers/letters etc, and the earlier you get the fourth one, the more points you get. Here's the question:
1) A(1in 13) 2) AA(1in17) Then he got it. What?
If you have seen it, please don't jump in.

My son has Aspergers also; I'll try him on it when he comes in. Don't give the answer away gents, please.

I was annoyed at myself for not getting it but a change in circumstances meant I didn't twig as early as I should have ::)

I wouldn't have got it without a change of brain, never mind circumstances.

I got it once the wrong answer was given.
Great quiz show BTW :y

Love that show.
Frankly I feel I'm doing well if I can get 2 or 3 right in the whole damn half hour.

I'm too 'fick' and too lazy to work it out. :-\

It's not easy and, unless your brain works in a certain way, you're certainly not going to be able to come at it from the right direction.

Right, for those that are interested..it's the probability of choosing any ace from a pack of cards.
1) There are four aces and 52 cards so 4/52=13.
2) There are now three aces and 51 cards so 3/51=17
3) There are now 2 aces and 50 cards so 2/50=25
The answer they were looking for 4) AAAA (1 in 49)

What? Like that annoying fella Opti does when he buys a car?
-
I dont watch the show, never have but the answer I got was AAA, coz I thought that was next in the pattern...?

Of course the Coren makes it verrrry watchable.
If she still does it post-Mitchell-Baby-jealous.

Trying to be intellectual here, and you're just drooling over a female. Dear, dear.......
She does have big tits, though.

My brain tends to work in a cretin way rather than a certain way. :D ;D

You should have been charged years ago.....

Seems the challenge in this particular example is actually correlating the letter A with Ace, (which not being a Card-ist I didn't), rather than mathematical skill. Once you've got that far it's obvious... :-\

Exactly...that's the point.
