This brutish-looking guido claims an IQ of 160, which would put him far above your average M.I.T professor(IQ 143) and in the same league as Darwin, Kepler, Kant and Maxwell in intelligence. Well, this is Ross' chance to prove it!!!!!! This problem was published in the Mensa journal and so far over 3,000 Mensans(average IQ 136) have unsuccessfully tried to solve it. This problem was presented to a group consisting of 200 M.I.T and CalTech physics and math professors(average IQ 143) and none could solve the problem. Estimates that 99.997% of the general population cannot solve it.
The problem has been solved by me and by two others I am aware of. Here is the problem:
A certain gear system consists of five concentric, superimposed discs: A, B, C, D and E, which are mounted on a solid platform, taken as a stationary reference. The discs have different sizes and spin at different speeds. All the discs spin at constant speed, some clockwise and some counter-clockwise. Each disc has a red dot on it's surface, and initially all these dots are not lined up. At a given moment, all the discs start spinning simultaneously, each at their own speed, without any contact between them. It takes 7 minutes for disc A, 13 minutes for disc B, 17 minutes for disc C, 19 minutes for disc D and 23 minutes for disc E to complete a full 360 degree spin. After a certain time, all discs were aligned, disc A being in the same position it was 2 minutes after it started spinning, disc B being in the same position it was 3 minutes after it started spinning, disc C being in the same position it was 4 minutes after it started spinning, disc D being in the same position it was 7 minutes after it started to spin and disc E being in the same position it was 9 minutes after it started to spin. How much time elapsed from the moment the discs started to spin until the discs reached that configuration for the first time?
Out of 200 M.I.T math professors none was able to solve this problem, but since Ross has an IQ over a full standard deviation above your typical MIT professor, he should be able to solve it. An IQ of 160 or higher is required to solve this problem. If Ross doesen't publish his answer I will publish it in 5 days.
If there are other Getbiggers out there who can solve this problem, I am asking you not to publish it because I don't want Ross to have any excuses for why he diidn't solve it.

P.S - Ross, don't even try Googling for the answer becuse it is not there. Only three people in the World have solved this problem so far.
