     On the one hand, I'm glad you did well.
     
     On the other hand, this is a retarded choice for a uni exam topic. IQ in general is pretty silly for uni admissions because succeeding in uni requires a lot of crystallized knowledge too. Like, why wouldn't they just test your normal math skills, algebra, geometry, calculus, whatever?
     
     Edited to add: in the US, the SAT and AP standardized tests all have just normal math questions, I think.

     @ai @cinerion @hidden I can't piece it together with the "along equilateral triangle faces" due to being ESL, what does that even mean in this context? Does it means the tetrahedrons are equilateral triangles?
     
     A Square is 6 faces, it loses one due to having the pyramid glued on, so 5. A Tetrahedron is 3 main faces for a total of 4? It loses one due to being glued, so 3
     3+5 = 8? Or have I fucked something

     Actually, there's a funny story about the SAT test writers getting their own question wrong. It was this one:
     
     A regular square pyramid and a regular tetrahedron are glued together along equilateral triangle faces. How many faces does the resulting solid have?"
     
     In the spirit of this thread, I leave it to you all, as an "IQ test" ;)

     Here's a memory I have from first grade (roughly?). They had these little cubes in a classroom, maybe half the size of a normal dice. I thought "cubicle" meant "small cube" so I told this girl, "look, cubicles!" and then I held one in my mouth and pretended like I was gonna eat it. She got grossed out, but I thought she was impressed, so I continued to do it a few times. Eventually she got the teacher to come and tell me to stop eating the teaching materials.

     @ai @coolboymew @hidden Indeed, here you are tied to the thing you chose when you started, unless you want to go through a very troublesome bureaucratic process, that also has a high chance of being denied.
     Also consider kids choose this while they are 15/16.

     I just said that to clarify that you're gluing the shapes together along the triangle surfaces, not doing something weird like gluing a triangle onto a square.
     
     You basically did what the SAT test writers did (which contains a mistake).
     
     But there's also a language issue: a "square pyramid" looks like the pic, I think you interpreted it as a "cube". So you'd do 3 + 4 = 7.

     @ai @cinerion @hidden I somehow completely ignored the pyramid part of the "square", I really gotta go to bed

     Yeah. The trick (which the test writers themselves didn't realize) is that some of these faces actually merge into one (they are parallel, not at an angle). So there are actually only 5 faces in the solid:

     @ai @cinerion @hidden right, this is what I was thinking was weird and I was not seeing it correctly
     
     The wrong way to see it is to glue it to the other triangle's square base, but it doesn't fit nicely and your words actually did it to glue it to a face, so indeed, with such a triangle it would fuse some faces together, but it would "work", if glued to the square other than the fact that where would be leftover space

The topics covered only up to derivatives and their uses, but the asshole included integrals to trip me. Teachers do be like that :yuishrug:

     That's not the trick.
     
     The trick is that, in the glued solid, some of the (outer) triangles are parallel to each other, not at an angle. So you wouldn't say that those two triangles form two distinct faces, you'd say that it forms one face (a rhombus).
     
     This pic shows it a bit more clearly. There are distinct triangular faces, but they "lie flat" so they are only one big face. At least, that's how a book would define "a face of a solid."

     @ai @cinerion @hidden @coolboymew But I don't understand how 7 is wrong.
     
     A regular square pyramid has five faces.
     
     A tetrahedron has four faces.
     
     You glue one of the tetrahedron's faces to one of the square pyramid's triangular faces. This gets rid of two of the faces...Unless we're being tricky and saying that the face is still there, even if hidden, in which case the answer is 8. Is that the trick?

     And, fun fact, the arrangement of points in this tiling is what you get when you dump fruit into a pile (see pic). See "sphere packing" or "kepler conjecture" - this is one of the famous examples of a proof in math that can only be done by computer.
