I aced it. So what does that mean besides I'm an ACE! Oh, and a dam good Texas holdem poker player! Oh and it took me less than a minute to answer all three.
However when I read the next paragraph I thought I got them all wrong, lol. I was like WTF. I was at first unaware that those were all the typical wrong answers.

The Cognitive Reflection Test has been hailed as the world’s shortest IQ test as it features just three questions.
1. A bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs $1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?
2. If it takes 5 machines 5 minutes to make 5 widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?
3. In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads. Every day, the patch doubles in size. If it takes 48 days for the patch to cover the entire lake, how long would it take for the patch to
cover half of the lake?
Now that you’ve had a chance at the questions, you probably answered $.10 for question 1, 100 minutes for question 2 and 24 days for question 3.
If you did, you are wrong.
Here are the correct answers to the test:
