five40, click the FAQ link and the last one gives you a link which has the answers....the last one, 33 I still don't get =\

33/33, but this is nowhere near a real MENSA test. It's more of a trivia or riddle game than a real test. Try the Mensa Workout link on the upper left corner of http://www.mensa.org for a more realistic example of what the actual MENSA exam looks like.


Anyway, #33 on the original "test" is 15 Men on a Dead Man's Chest.

27/33. I got them all except the British sports (Rugby, cricket, etc.) and the provinces. And the 3 B M (S H T R) - I felt really bad for missing that one, sang it yesterday.

 

[cubby1223]

pfft - if I thought intelligence was measured on one's ability to spell...

Though I do remember long time ago back in school we had to do write our names vertically on paper then write words that describe yourself starting with each letter in your name - a kid sitting next to me couldn't think of anything for the letter "J", so I suggested he write "Jenius" - and he did.

 

[theMan]

i got 16, but 3 of them didnt turn green. also, one of them is just totally wrong.

"23 pairs of chromosomes in the human body" that is just wrong. there are trillions, if not more. there are 23 pairs in ONE CELL.

and what was with all those, new testament old testament ones?

its also not a measure of intelligence, just knowledge.

11...all those religious questions killed me

 

[LiquidImpulse]

[ShadoWing]

[JulesMaximus]

No, I don't have to take that test to know that I'm not a genius. I'm getting through life just fine though...thanks for asking.

Edit-I got 15 out of 33.

 

[monk3y]

[IHateMyJob2004]

How does that "test" prove intelgence? It's not problem solving ....

I stopped doing stupid tests in high school. Now I can't do them quickly and have no desire to waste time on them.

 

[imported_electron]

I'm a genius because I didn't waste any time on this bogus test.

edit, but "an" does? wtf no fair

yes "an" would work because you only use the word "an" instead of "a" because the word begins with a vowel.
Example: "I shot a bird today with a BB gun because I was bored."

Since the word doesn't start with a vowel but consonant, you use "a".

Another example: "I live in an igloo because georgia didn't want me".
You use "an" because the word following it starts with 'i' which is a vowel. You can't use 'a' because not only is that gramatically incorrect but it would sound odd...
