Getting one or two correct on this test is actually fairly impressive. We are built to not understand these in the right way. Of course, if you just scored that way because you have learned about these problems before, that doesn't really count. On a similar note, I don't think being told the answer really serves you as well as discovering it. Look at your score to see what you were correct on, and try to figure out where you went wrong. Even PhDs and graduate students often get less than perfect scores, even when they study things like psychology, math, and logic.
For the kind of thinking required look to the famous "Monty Hall problem".
Here is the wikipedia article if you're lazy. I'm sure you can also find plenty about it on google.
