Is it possible? An interesting IQ Test

hostmm · 09-15-2006, 11:07 PM

Given that you are going to cook a special soup, and you must make both salty-taste and lite-taste people feel satisfied with the taste of your soup. Is it possible? Could you come up with a method to solve this issue? The possibility of moderate taste has been eliminated.

It is truly possible. Before I reveal the answer, so, is there someone here who can think it out?

1. Make 2 soups
2. use an organic and an aqueous layer, add the different ingredients, one to one layer, the other to the other, hydophobic-hydrophiclic layers will form a bi-layer (2 layers like oil and water)
3. Just use both tastes in one soup?
4. Just rip out there tongues, and tell them its salty or lite... the power of suggestion is an amazing thing

To be honest I’ve never herd of a lite-taste, what is it (im guessing its the opposite to salty). Is no2 what you were getting at?

Hi there,

Considering salt has a light density and always floats to the top, yes I suppose you could as long as you used the top layer for the people that preferred the salty taste. And the bottom for the others.

Might be wrong but oh well.

Salt will not float to the top on its own if in an aqueous solution (since it will dissolve), however in an organic solvent it will not dissolve and will form an emulsion/suspension (try it out, its usally NaCl or KCl at home, but add this to some cooking oil and see what happens)

Well, salt is ionic and will dissolve in polar solvents(like water), depending on the density of the two solvents the aqueous layer will either be at the top or bottom, organic layers like oil are often more dense, and fall to the bottom (depending on the oil). However adding more salt to the solution will make the aqueous layer more dense, and I belive as the concentration of the salt increases, so will the density of the aq layer.

By the way this question doesnt have much to do with IQ (hence i can have a go at answering it), its more a knowedge based question. Ask me anything about geography, spelling and history and im dead in the water. IQ should be based on pattern recognition, this often plays a big role in most IQ tests.

Not as complicated as that.
