to the first number, then add 3, ,then 1,

then 3, etc.
Fifty-two
Health - If you believe that germs cause illness and if you believe that absences of "filth" signifies the absence of germs.
Lagoon, lake, pond
All of these.  They are all measuring devices.
497.  Solution of this problem requires ability to count and sort some of concept of codes.
Uncle.  Assumes conceptualization of European/Western familial relationships.
For social control?  To see that people do not commit bigamy?  To see that closely related kinsfolk do not marry?  For statistical purposes?  To ensure that people who are under age do not marry?
Post it.  However, a more practical line of action would be: open it to see if it contains anything of value, carefully remove the stamp for your own use and at least be 18c richer.  But in a highly acquisitive society principles of "honesty" (i.e. respect for unprotected property) have to be supported or society could easily break down (to the disadvantage of property owners).  Note the question asks "What is the thing to do...." not "What would you do...."  Again, the "correct" answer has a moral basis.
Because they may influence your own behavior and get you into trouble.  However, this only correct if you believe that bad people influence good people and not vice versa, that people who behave badly should be isolated in the community.  Again, the "correct" answer has a moral basis

kuuk thaayorre system of counting only goes to three...thana,

kuthir, pinalam, mong, mong, mong, etc.  The word mong is best translated as "many" since it can mean any number between 4 and 9 or 10 after which yuur mong (many figures) would be more appropriate.
Those who say thirteen are right in European terms but irrelevant in Edward River terms.  The speakers of kuuk thaayorre clearly recognise lunar menstruation and possess a notion of the lunar month as calculated as the time between one phase of the moon and the next appearance of that particular phase.  However, apart from having no specific word to designate thirteen and thirteen only - yurr mong or "very many", is the right answer - the annual cycle is crouched in terms of environmental rhythms rather than in terms of fixed, invariant divisions of time.  The "year" then is the time between the onset of one wet season and the onset of the next wet season - and wet seasons may be early or late, so who can be precise?
The right answer is "tree".  This stems from the kuuk thaayorre speakers early experience with tobacco which was "stick" tobacco, hence it is classified with tree.
Crocodiles, turtles, birds and frill necked lizards are all classified as minh (which broadly might be translated as animals).   Snakes along with eels are classified as yak which may be broadly translated as snake-like creatures.
All the items are classified with sugar as belong to the class of objects known as may.  Broadly translated, may means vegetable food.  Even witchetty grubs that are found in the roots of trees fall under this rubric - so does honey which is also associated with trees and hence fruit.  The kuuk thaayorre language had no problem fitting flour into the may category since it obviously resembled some of their own processed vegetable foods (e.g., yams like Dioscoria sativa elongata).  The word may can also mean sweet and hence sugar, which of course does not resemble anything in their traditional culinary.
"Eat" is the right word - well sort of, anyway.  Where we make a distinction between "eating" and "drinking", kuuk thaayorre does not and they use the same verb to describe both functions and why not?
The clues are easy for kuuk thaayorre.  An avoidance taboo operates between mother's brother and sister's son and politeness requires that sister's son should never directly face mother's brother nor talk to him directly in company.  Sam and Ben are obviously brothers because of their unrestrained interaction while Harry, with his back turned to both his uncles is obviously the respectful nephew.
Among the kuuk thaayorre God has been equated with a mythological character and he is definitely non-malevolent.  Both fate and germs are concepts foreign to the kuuk thaayorre belief system.  No-one dies without reason and suicide is unknown to them, so the right answer is SOMEONE - which is the case in this sorcery riddled society.
The small female wallaby is the right answer.  Emu is a food that may be consumed only by very old people.  Kangaroos (especially large ones) may not be eaten by parents or their children.  The children will get sick otherwise.  Everyone knows that....don't they?
Because some of them have to be avoided like the plague.  For example, a male must avoid his father's sister's daughter, or anyone classified with her.  Such relations are called poison cousins in Aboriginal English.

What cultural biases do they have?
Are these intelligence tests fair?  Why or why not?
How would you feel if these tests were used as a standardized intelligence test?
How would you work with someone who scores at anIQ of only 90 on a standardized intelligence test but very well on one of the other intelligence tests?

Case example
An American man attending an international relations banquet was sitting across from a man who looked Asian. He wanted to start a conversation so he asked the man loudly and in very simple English, "Like food?" The man politely nodded yes, but said nothing. During the dinner program, the master of ceremony introduced the Asian looking man as an award winning professor of economics at an important university. The professor was invited to give a short talk about world trade issues. After a short discussion in perfect English the professor sat down. He then looked across to his neighbour and asked loudly and in very simple English, "Like talk?"
1) What stereotype did the American have about the Asian-looking man?
2) Where do stereotypes come from?
3) What is the stereotype?
