&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By Manhattan GMAT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;In this article, part three&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; of a three-part series,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; we complete our discussion of counter-intuition on the GMAT. &lt;em&gt;This week, we&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; examine how an unreliable type of test-taker&#39;s intuition can disrupt your ability to answer Problem Solving &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;questions. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;In part one, we covered the Draw a Conclusion question; in part &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;two&lt;/em&gt;, we covered Data Sufficiency and Sentence Correction questions. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float: right;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.vault.com/VCM/blogs/Manhattan_GMAT.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;136&quot; height=&quot;135&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Problem Solving&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;What exactly constitutes intuition in Problem Solving?

Intuition on probability questions will mean one thing,  whereas intuition on geometry questions with a diagram will mean  something else altogether. However, as we saw in earlier editions of  this discussion, we will define the intuition that we are speaking of as  that which causes the test-taker to hastily decide upon a certain  answer choice because it seems to look right. Put differently, this  intuition may be thought of as the mechanism that prevents the  test-taker from delving into the deepest layer of the question and  uncovering the mathematical principles that are being tested. One area  where students commonly fall prey to the whims of this type of intuition  is in percent problems. Let&#39;s take a look at the following example: &lt;strong&gt;READ MORE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
