Japanese IQ test for job applicants
By livelonger
Apparently this is an IQ test given to job applicants in Japan in which "Everybody has to cross the river". It's an animated game that's both fun and frustrating.
Click to start the test: Japanese IQ Test
Everything is in Japanese, but follow these instructions below if you prefer English. ;-)
It took me about 20 minutes to solve, my boyfriend about 10 minutes.
Instructions
Click on link above and then click on the big blue circle to start. To move the people, click on them. To move the raft, click on the pole on the opposite side of the river. You must follow the rules below.
Rules
- Only 2 people can be on the raft at the same time
- The Father cannot be left alone with either or both of the daughters without their Mother
- The Mother cannot be left alone with either or both of the sons without their Father
- The thief (the redhead in the striped shirt) cannot stay with any family member if the Policeman is not there -- she gets violent
- Only the adults (the Father, the Mother and the Policeman) know how to operate the raft

you're twice as smart as me, jimmy ;-) good thing I'm not looking for a job in Japan!
This is fun! Thanks.
they have a version of this question on a quest in my rpg game. I might have, ahem, looked up the answer. I'm not un-bright, but I'm not patient either and I have moments of being incredibly lazy. hehe :o
see where I come from our first question would be how deep is it ? and then next - it looks jumpable... the very last option would be to work the raft...
This only took me about 2 minutes. Did you know that a 4th grader in japan has to take a harder test than this and has to do it in 2 and a half minutes. I am only 12.
this "test" is not japanese, more likely it is chinese. anyhow, it is fun 1:30

I had it right the first time I did it. Little under 2 minutes. Thinking about 20 seconds and the clicking. I am only 31!
I have a certified IQ of over 132 (Mensa, top 2%) and I had to look up the answer…
I did it in a 1 and 50 secs with 17steps. Any one did under 17 steps?
easy! beat it in 1 min 36 secs...
Did this IQ test and finished it in 30 seconds.
Weeehhhh!!! Barbero! Those claiming to do it in less than 2 minutes is making up! You have to move the pieces, and you usually need to start thinking har dform move 9 to 14 hich is the key (policeman). Jazz, the minimum move is 19 steps. Barbero ka talag!
45 seconds 17 moves best I can do :-)
