Mensa Type Logic Puzzle
33 Answers
This is a Mensa Logic type question.
A sign tells you that BRUSSELS is 66 miles, VIENNA is 69 miles, STOCKHOLM is 79 miles and BUCHAREST is 96 miles. Using this logic how far is it to COPENHAGEN.
Does anyone have a clue on how to approach this please.

Well it's nothing to do with real distances as Bucharest is over a 1000 miles from those places. Had tried to assign values to vowels and consonants and solve simultaneously but that didn't work out. Now I know from emeritus that's not the way to go anyway. Something is niggling at the back of my mind that I've sen this before but just can't remember.
yes sorry was on the wrong quiz - I've correlated how many vowels are in each word and how many consonants and given them values which have a pattern -it all falls into place except for STOCKHOLM ( it has 7 consonants but only 2 vowels) The consonant value for STOCKHOLM follow a pattern that would be a value 10 (70) but the vowels don't follow the vowel pattern as that would be a value of 45.

This was the quiz I found it on

I've tried it with mine and it didn't work (that is x for number of vowels, y for number of consonants). Mind you I took it from your comment that it wasn't really anything to do with letter/number patterns at all. I have wondered if it's not the normal 'sign' or if there are items that have the names of those capitals.
Think I've got it!
Forget the cities they are a red herring.
Take the numbers 66-69-79-96 -find a pattern
66+3 = 69
69+10+ 79
79 + 17 = 96
therefore the last number (distance to Copenhagen) is:
96 + 24 = 120
the pattern is adding 7 to the difference in value of the previous number (if that makes sense)
