Question

please give details

Many of you are reporting this is bad info. well, this is actually from a I.Q. test online, and it's word for word, now you see why I asked such a question in the first place!

Answer 1

If I understood the question maybe I could. Word tense does count.

Answer 2

I think there might be some information missing, but:

Bob + John + Tom = 100
Bob + John = Tom
John = 33

2(Bob) + 2(John) = 100 (substitute for Tom)
Bob + John = 50
Bob + 33 = 50 (substitute for John)
Bob = 17

Tom = 17 + 33 = 50 (substitute for Bob and John)

Answer 3

Question, although set out grammatically incorrectly, does not make sense. If Bob won how could Tom get a combination of Bob and John's votes?

Answer 4

well.. first of all that it vot? if bob won, then why does tom have 33% more then bob?
