Created, the tricky quiz is already stumping plenty of people with its out-of-the-box style questions.

According to statistics from the quiz, less than one per cent of the population scored 10 out of 10.

Obviously, it's not an official IQ test - so don't put that call into Mensa just yet... but it will give you a very good indication of how switched on you are.

How did you fare?

Check out the answers below.

Answers

1. Football — the only sport played without something in your hands

2. 56398 — By attributing each number to a letter from the word OCEAN, you find the solution.

3. 24 — When you divide Tina’s age, 16, into four, you’ll find that her brother is four. Meaning, when Tina is 24, her brother will be 12. When he’s 12, her brother will be half Tina’s age.

4. 8 — The sequence’s pattern functions by adding one then multiplying by two.

5. Fruit — The quiz creator went on a tangent here and spelt the fruit mandarin as mandarine, the second most popular way to spell the citrus fruit.

6. 5 — A fifth of 200 is 40, halving that gives you 20 and then dividing that by four will leave you with five.

7. Five trips — Eric can only carry three bottles per trip meaning after four trips he’ll be left with one bottle. His fifth trip, Eric will carry one.

8. Suited — The exact definition of suited is “right or appropriate for a particular person, purpose or situation”.

9. Studying — A virus is fixed by a vaccine, the same way an exam is helped by studying.

10. Two oranges — If you take away two oranges from three, you’ll have two with you and one left over.

This isn't the first time we've challenged you to crack a seriously fiendish IQ test.

Previously we shared the world's shortest IQ test, which comes with just 3 questions.

We also brought you a smutty quiz which reveals how dirty your mind is - and apparently it tests your IQ too.
