This guide provides all the answers and explanations you need to excel in this mind-boggling activity.

Accessing the Ministry of Education Quiz

To participate in the Ministry of Education quiz quest, you must reach Trailblaze level 13 or higher. Once you've reached this level, check your daily missions for "On the Doorsteps of Science," which will be highlighted in green. This daily mission initiates the quiz.

The "On the Doorsteps of Science" quest becomes available after reaching Trailblaze Level 12 and completing the mission "Long Wait for the Blade's Edge". Note that daily mission assignments are random.

You can start the quest by talking to Regin at the Goethe Hotel in the Administrative District. He will ask you to take his thesis to the Ministry of Education. The Ministry of Education Officer is standing outside of Serval’s workshop, next to Manya, in the Administration District. Each time you get this quest, you will be faced with a new question. If you fail to answer them, you will get back to Regin, and he will answer it for you, However, his chances of getting his thesis accepted would get slim.

Quiz Questions and Answers

The Ministry of Education quiz consists of a series of questions that test your logical thinking and mathematical abilities. Here's a comprehensive list of questions, answers, and explanations to help you ace the quiz:

Question 1: Which are there more of, Prime Numbers or Natural Numbers?

Answer: Both are the same.

Explanation: This question delves into the principles of set theory. Both prime numbers and natural numbers are infinite. Every prime number can be matched to exactly one natural number (e.g., the 1st prime number is matched to 1, the 2nd prime number is matched to 2, and so on).

Question 2: The Limesteins have a large parking lot filled with 42 cars. One day, a thief stole wheels from several cars. Now, several cars have only three wheels left. While appraising damages, the insurer bent down and counted a total of 154 wheels across the lot. How many cars had their wheels stolen?

Answer: 14

Explanation:1. The original number of wheels is 42 cars * 4 wheels/car = 168 wheels.

The number of missing wheels is 168 wheels - 154 wheels = 14 wheels.
Since each stolen wheel means one car has only three wheels, 14 cars had their wheels stolen.

Question 3: 58 is First Snow, and First Snow is 0. 39 is Summershade Bamboo, and Summershade Bamboo is 14. 99 is Ball Peony, and Ball Peony is 8. 27 is Sunflower, and Sunflower is 4. How much do First Snow, Summershade Bamboo, Ball Peony, and Sunflower added together make?

Answer: 162

Explanation: This puzzle requires creative thinking. Each object represents a number, and "is" represents a function applied to a number to get another number. The function is multiplying the digits of the input together:

58 -> 5 x 8 = 40 -> 4 x 0 = 0
39 -> 3 x 9 = 27 -> 2 x 7 = 14
99 -> 9 x 9 = 81 -> 8 x 1 = 8
27 -> 2 x 7 = 14 -> 1 x 4 = 4

Adding them together gives you 0 + 14 + 8 + 4 = 162.

Question 4: The Limesteins’ wheel thief was apprehended, with the guards taking in three suspects: Jack, Chris, and Eric. The three argued, with Jack blurting: “Chris is the one who stole the wheels!” The quick-witted Gepard quickly found the culprit. To test his aide, Gepard said cryptically without revealing the thief: “How strange. Of the three, only the thief did not lie.” Who was the thief that stole the Limesteins’ wheels?

Answer: Eric

Explanation:* If Jack was the thief, his statement would be true, which would make Chris the thief - this is a contradiction, which means Jack is not the thief.

Since Jack is not the thief, he lied, so Chris is also not the thief.
This just leaves Eric.

Question 5: Howard, Philip, and Joyce: among them is a good man, a bad man, and a liar. The good man only tells the truth; the bad man only lies; and the liar… Well, he would say anything - sometimes the truth, and sometimes lies. One day, Joyce said: “Philip is either the good man or the bad man.” Then, Philip said: “Either Howard or Joyce is the good man.” Which of these three is the liar?

Answer: Philip

Explanation:* Philip cannot be the good man, because then his statement that Howard or Joyce is the good man would be true, which is clearly a contradiction.

Philip cannot be the bad man, because then his statement that Howard of Joyce is the good man would be a lie, which would make Philip the good man, which is clearly a contradiction.
Therefore Philip is the liar.

Question 6: 1453 = 0 | 1915 = 1 | 2409 = 2 | 6010 = 3 | 9981 = 4 | 8848 = ?

Answer: 6

Explanation: Count the number of circles among the numerals on the left side. 8’s have two circles each, so 8848 must be 6.

Question 7: Hook is playing a game called “Guess the Flower Color” with her friends. She invited Julian, Luka, and Big Sister who always plays with them - and stuck a flower in each one’s hair. There are four flowers - two white, two purple - and nobody including Hook looked at their own flower nor anybody else’s flower. Next, she asked everyone to step forward and form a line. Hook, Julian, Luka, and then Big Sister stood in order. Only looking at the person straight ahead is allowed, and nobody may turn around or peek at anyone else’s flower. To keep things fair, Hook blindfolded Big Sister - because she’s so tall! However, while they can’t see their own flowers, we can see them as we walk by: Hook and Luka have white flowers, while Julian and Big Sister have purple ones. Despite Hook’s best and fairest intentions, only one person in this game will be able to guess what color the flower they have on their head is. Who is that person?

Answer: Julian

Explanation:* Big Sister is blindfolded, and there’s no one in front of Hook, so neither of them can determine the color of their own flowers.

Luka sees one white and one purple flower, so cannot determine the color of his flower.
Julian knows that if Luka had seen two white flowers or two purple flowers, Luka would be able to guess immediately his own flower. Since Luka does not make a guess, Julian can deduce that Luka sees one white and one purple flower. Since Julian sees Hook’s flower is white, Julian knows his must be purple.

Question 8: I heard that there’s an ancient treasure buried in an inconspicuous corner of the snow plains. Sampo the explorer - Tall, Blue, and Handsome - found the treasure after quite an adventure, and before them, they found two talking gates: One gold, one silver. One of these two doors only tells the truth, while the other only tells lies. Behind one of these doors lies a treasure, behind the other lies an ancient monster. A note on the treasure map advises: The two doors will only answer one question. The quick-witted Sampo - Tall, Blue, and Handsome - gives it some thought before asking the silver door, “What would the gold door say about the thing that lies behind you?” The silver door answers, “It would say, there is treasure behind me.” Which door should Sampo - Tall, Blue, and Handsome - open?

Answer: Open the gold gate

Explanation:* If the silver door tells the truth, then the gold door would lie about the treasure being behind the silver door, and the silver door would correctly state this - which would mean the treasure is behind the gold door.

If the silver door tells lies, then the gold door would tell the truth about the treasure being behind the gold door, and the silver door would lie about what the gold door said - which would also mean the treasure is behind the gold door.
So regardless of which door tells the truth, you should open the gold door.

Question 9: The Belobog Academy has discovered a new, invasive species of algae that can double itself in just one day, and in just 30 days fill a whole reservoir - contaminating the water supply. How many days would it take for the algae to fill half of the reservoir?

Answer: 29 days

Explanation: Since the algae doubles every day, it would take one day less to fill half the reservoir than to fill the entire reservoir.
