We've done this before but I thought I'd put it in the thread to save people from opening up that document.

 

If I got 19 in about 5 minutes, then got back to work before I got caught:

Does that make me a lazy genius for stopping, or a clever one for quitting while ahead?

 

I got my 19. How do I sign up for DENSA?

 

I got 40 right. ):

Some of those are very hard.

 

I'm stuck at 26.

Some of these have a sort of a non-American bent to them.

References to sports we don't usually play, and such.

Oh, and damn you eyes for posting this in the first friggin' place. Now I'm gonna keep at it until my head explodes.

 

Finished it and got all 33. Very tough quiz.



Hint 1: To complete it, you need to know some sports rules.

Hint 2: 20, 24, 27, 33 all have syntax errors.

Hint 3: 32 has a misspelling.

Answered correctly on 27/30 in about 10 minutes. Didn't answers #7, 15, 19.

 

I'm going to avoid this. Went out to dinner the other night w/ family. Restaurant had these place mats for kids with these questions on them. None of the adults, including myself could answer any of them. Than my 12 year old genius cousin does some equations for each one and figures them all out. Either she's really smart, or we are dumb.

 

Still waiting on some answers. I want to test a few of my friends. I got 12 of them. Okay yea I'm only "intelligent" but i think there a few more than i got, but b/c of the syntax errors i dont know if they're right.

 

Do we really think a Mensa test has syntax errors?

 

I wasnt being serious. I'm just curious to see what all the answers are so I can test my friends.

 

heh, the real mensa tests (have to take at least 2) aren't based around a person's knowledge of cliches and sports, and timed very aggresively.
