I doubt somebody with a perfect Math SAT score (or far below perfect) can't get this question.

Huh? I don't get it despite explanations. Maths was never a strong point of mine.

But for sure you have your another strong point.

I think some people might be missing the point. It's not that Harvard students aren't intelligent enough to understand the actual answer. The point, like the article states, is that people tend to answer such questions quickly, and intuitively, with mental shortcuts, possibly because they're overconfident when it comes to answering seemingly easy questions.
