Here's a fun puzzle.  http://www.mensa-test.com/ I have 12 so far, but still working... __________________ "During The Renaissance, when they wished to imitate Immortal Greece, they produced Raphael.

Hee hee, these things give me a headache but I'm always fascinated anyway! | | | | | January 21st, 2006, 05:35 PM | #3 | | Long Hair Devotee Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: NAF Atsugi Japan Age: 36 Posts: 648 Length: 29.5/31.5/>45 Type: 1a/1b/M/ii | | Re: MENSA "intelligence test" | |

Oh man, this is fun! I'm still working on it, but I am doing pretty well so far. I have 11 of them so far, although it's giving me a score of 22/33 for some reason.  I'm very good at word pattern recognition, so this is right up my alley. I hope I get all of them eventually!  Thanks for posting this!

21 out of 33 so far - just ran through it quick. | | | | | January 21st, 2006, 06:05 PM | #7 | | Long Hair Guru Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Tasmania, Australia Age: 46 Posts: 4,426 Length: 22.5/28.5/30 Type: 2b/M/iii | | Re: MENSA "intelligence test" | |
I have 9 so far but 3 I know are right but aren't coming up right what's the deal with that? Spelling perhaps? __________________ All our life we'll wait for the answer and the question is why | | | | | January 21st, 2006, 06:06 PM | #8 | | Long Hair Guru Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Hungary Age: 34 Posts: 2,310 Length: 1/hip!/43ish Type: 2b/F/M/ii | | Re: MENSA "intelligence test" | |
17 so far. It would probably have been easier in my mother tongue, though. | | | | | January 21st, 2006, 06:07 PM | #9 | | Long Hair Devotee Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: UK Age: 43 Posts: 105 Type: 1c/2a/F/M/iii | | Re: MENSA "intelligence test" | |

I am up to 22 but I'm growing tired... been doing this about 15 minutes. | | | | | January 21st, 2006, 06:16 PM | #11 | | Long Hair Devotee Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: southern california Age: 24 Posts: 292 Length: 13/37/50 Type: 1b/M/ii/iii | | Re: MENSA "intelligence test" | |

Unfortunately there are two N's in millennium.  I had to figure that one out after spelling it the way you did. (Up to 23... I might finish this after several weeks because I never give up on these things. But that's cheating.) Edit: after a "duh" moment, changed my response to white text so as not to spoil.

Just a note, this test requires exact spelling, and no extra spaces. If you aren't sure of the spelling of a word, look it up. | | | | | January 21st, 2006, 06:21 PM | #14 | | Moderator Join Date: Oct 2004 Location: Almost Heaven, West Virginia Age: 40 Posts: 6,781 Length: 30/37.5/???

Just keep letting that brain work on it. Step away from it for a while and come back. I got three in a quick succession doing that. Speedy, now, strangely and on a logical basis impossibly at 38/33 | | | | | January 21st, 2006, 06:26 PM | #15 | | Long Hair Guru Join Date: May 2005 Location: California Age: 32 Posts: 1,907 Length: 14/33.5/48 Type: 1c/F/M/ii | | Re: MENSA "intelligence test" | |
Oh you just HAD to post this, didn't you? I'm at 15 (haven't cheated yet) and stuck!
