Japanese IQ Test
This is one hell of an interesting IQ test. It has nothing to do with the normal piece of paper that you get (at least in Europe) as IQ test because they don’t ask you to solve some math puzzles, rotate some picture, group stuff together or similar. The goal is only to bring a group of people from one side of the river to the other side and it looks like this:
This IQ test is used by companies in Japan to see if possible candidates fit for a job.
The rules are:
- Only 2 persons on the raft at a time.
- The father cannot stay with any of the daughters, without their mother’s presence.
- The mother cannot stay with any of the sons, without their father’s presence.
- The thief (striped shirt) cannot stay with any family member, if the Policeman is not there.
- Only the Father, the Mother and the Policeman know how to operate the raft.
To start it click here and then on the round button. Can you master it?

Maybe the test is to see if you can program up some code to solve the problem
