Pann: Hardest question of Samsung's entrance exams

1. [+148, -11] 1. The rest of them is a part of something but 1 is the whole thing.

2. [+114, -0] This was written in an article, OP isn't lying ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It was Samsung exams indeed.



3. [+87, -3] The comments are clueless. When you apply for major companies, you have multiple choice tests, not interviews. After you pass the test, you qualify for an interview. There are answers for the questions. What do you know to claim that there's no specific answer?

4. [+46, -2] Characteristic of this type of question - they don't tell you the answer.

5. [+40, -2] I thought of 3. So what's Samsung's answer?

6. [+26, -5] 1. Only 1 can circulate without stopping.

7. [+24, -11] Am I the only one who thinks it's 3? Usually, it's spring-summer-autumn-winter or winter-spring-summer-autumn but since it's autumn-winter-spring, it doesn't feel like it starts from the beginning.

8. [+18, -3] The answer is 4. Morning, afternoon, evening: the Sun. The day is divided by the Earth's rotation. May, June, July: the Sun. The months are divided by the Earth's cycle of revolution. Autumn, winter, spring: the Sun. The seasons are divided by the Earth's cycle of revolution. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday: religion. It's not decided by time or temperature, people made 24 hours for convenience.

9. [+15, -0] Isn't the answer 4 since it uses "on" for preposition but the rest uses "in"? As an English major, this was my first thought ㅋㅋㅋㅋ In the morning, In May, In Summer, On Sunday.

10. [+14, -1] 1. The rest is clearly meant to indicate time but morning/afternoon/evening can also mean breakfast/lunch/dinner.
(tn: words like morning/breakfast are the same in Korean)
