Take this quiz to see if you're Mensa material: 1. What is the four-digit number in which the first digit is one-fifth the last, and the second and third digits are the last digit multiplied by 3? (Hint: The sum of all digits is 12.) 2. Jane went to visit Jill. Jill is Jane's only husband's mother-in-law's only husband's only daughter's only daughter. What relation is Jill to Jane? 3. Which of these words is least like the others? The difference has nothing to do with vowels, consonants or syllables: PAIRS, ETCHERS, ZIPPER 4. Tabitha likes cookies but not cake. She likes mutton but not lamb, and she likes okra but not squash. Following the same rule, will she like cherries or pears? 5. What is the number that is one more than one-tenth of one-fifth of one-half of 4,000? 6. In a foot race, Jerry was neither first nor last. Janet beat Jerry, Jerry beat Pat. Charlie was neither first nor last. Charlie beat Rachel. Pat beat Charlie. Who came in last? 7. Find the number that best completes the following sequence: 1 2 4 7 11? 22 8. Marian bought four oranges and three lemons for 90 cents. The next day she bought three oranges and four lemons for 85 cents. How much did each lemon and orange cost? 9. Start with the number of total mittens the (nursery rhyme) kittens lost, and multiply by the voting age in the USA. What's the answer? 10. There is at least one nine-letter word that contains only one vowel.

Do you mean THE number or A number? A number that would fit is 41. #6. Rachel #7. 11 #8. Oranges 15 cents, Lemons 10 cents #9. 54 #10. Strengths Of course, I did make the mistake of answering this when you addressed it to the mental midgets. The lower echelon RWs are the mental midgets and they wouldn't even dare trying this quiz.

Title: Re: For you mental midgets Post by: 13.99 on 10 12, 10, 12:37:53:PM 8 correct is very respectable!
Title: Re: For you mental midgets Post by: 13 on 10 12, 10, 12:42:30:PM Good job 13, you only missed 1, number 9. You could be a mensa candidate! Oh, damn. I multiplied by the number of kittens which is 3 instead of their mittens which would have been 6 which multiplied by 18 = 108. I plead killer headache that has my eyes going nutz with the tiny type... in fact, I'm going to see the doc -- and have been seeing her about these headaches for awhile now -- later this afternoon... Damn. Title: Re: For you mental midgets Post by: 13 on 10 12, 10, 12:48:30:PM #7 is also wrong Yeah, that one had me worried. What IS the answer to #7? I thought maybe it could be 18 by one internal hierarchy, but then the 22 wouldn't fit the scheme. Wait. On second thought, don't tell me. I want to work on this one. Title: Re: For you mental midgets Post by: 13.99 on 10 12, 10, 12:51:59:PM 3 kittens = 4 paws, 4 mittens 12x 18= 216
Title: Re: For you mental midgets Post by: 13 on 10 12, 10, 12:59:12:PM 3 kittens = 4 paws, 4 mittens 12x 18= 216 The mittens only go on the front paws! Boots go on the back paws. If the question had stated paws, that would be correct, but it stated mittens... on which, unfortunately, I didn't focus, anyway... BUT kittens who wear mittens only wear two on their front paws and boots on their back paws. Everybody knows that! *L* I rest my case: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a0FVBLp0mSU/SS8SygMlukI/AAAAAAAAAX4/A11yOW-LdSA/s400/51NBESAKQAL._SL500_.jpg |
