A = 28 points, B = 45 points, C = 62 points, D = 25 points, and E = 20 points. If B and C scored 107, then A, D, and E must have scored a total of 73 points. If A scored x points,

Mental Workout Introduction
The Mental Workout challenges have been designed to provide you with stimulating exercises for the mind, as well as familiarize you with the sort of questions that are typically found on most IQ Tests. By understanding the type of questions and the logic used in arriving at their solutions, you will be better prepared to expediently solve the challenges presented within most standard IQ tests.
Each Mental Workout step contains 15 questions, and each step increases in difficulty. Unlike the IQ Test section of this program, the Mental Workout is not timed and will not display a score at the end, so there is no pressure to solve these challenges quickly. Additionally, you'll be able to examine the solution to each question as you work through the exercises. Simply click on Check Answer to see if your answer for the current question is correct.
