Heh. That tests your knowledge of cliches and 'popular' phrases more than anything, imo.

Especially since it's not an acronym, it's just a latin word meaning "table."

This was a fun brainteaser, I wonder though whether it was taken from one of the Mensa puzzle books or it's just a snopes-worthy email hoax. "Only 2 MENSA members achieved full marks"? back when I bothered to pay membership dues there were no annual tests needed to retain my "S-M-R-T license."

Nope just an annual paycheck. SAT scores got me in

I got most of them right off the bat... no clue on the bible ones.. And, I'm supposed to know the number of provinces in South Africa?! BTW, it's "an hour", not "a hour". If the Mensa people made that puzzle, minus 2 from their IQ for poor grammar.


Speaking of tests... someone had a link the other day (last week, I believe) to an incredibly hard test. It said that the average person gets about 2 of them correct. Anyone remember the thread or link? Thanks.

You have to work out what the letters mean. See No 0 as an example. According to MENSA, if you get 19 + of these, you are a "genius". Only 2 MENSA members achieved full marks. See how well you do.

Scoring:1 to 11 is Average, 11 - 18 Somewhat Intelligent, 19 to 28 Intelligent, 29+ Genius

So which is it for genius, 19, or 29?

edit: WHOA! I went platinum. When did that happen? Egads, I've gotta go home sooner at night.

 

[vi edit]

17

Not a genius. Boohoo
