someone emailed it to me...i don't know where it came from. The link is not to a website..it is to my computer, and I don't know how else to make it work.

You can use the questions, and when we get the "all clear" we can give our collective answers.

That was one I did not have.....you are correct. I typed in 64 squares on a chess board and it worked.

I am being honest by the way....am happy to post the answers to the 24 I have...should I wait for others to have a go? Maybe pm me and I'll send the ones I have!

Where did the test come from?

I really am impressed....24 seems amazing. I know when I see some answers I will think "how did I not know that? How could I have missed something so obviousl?"

I cannot understand how 64 squares worked for you and not for me...i will try again. I know that a misspelling did me in for a while on number 13 which really drove me nuts because I thought I was so clever to figure out the answer and it was telling me I was wrong.

EDIT: Now it worked...I wonder what I did wrong..whatever it was I was consistent for sure!

By the way, how come all you other heavy hitters don't have Office 2003 yet? LOL

Peace,

I wonder if the tough ones are the same for everyone. I've got 24 right so far; I'm missing 6,14,16,17,19,28,30,31,33.

i stopped taking that test when i realized they don't know how to spell "millennium."

look at #32. it will tell you "1000 years in a millennium" is false, but true as "millenium."

Yup, same for me...plus i can't get 5 which I figure to be a "pack"of card?...deck seems better.. WJ (without jokers)...I guess i must be dwelling on a wrong answer

This is not really a test of intelligence, but closer to a test of recall. Everyone has seen or heard most of the answers somewhere in their life, you just have to connect the abbreviations to those memories, eventually you will get the answer. However, if you are not familiar with a particular phrase, it can't be answered. The two African things stumped me for a while.

i can't get 5

If you religiously try to figure it out, you will get both the old and new.

While I don't believe this test measures IQ ......

more a measure of education and general retention of knowledge.

As usual, Max and I are on the same exact page .

The hint on #5 seems not very subtle, but it still isn't clicking for me.

Thanks anyway but I was finished...answers obtained with hints can't (shouldn't?) count.

We can share as soon as MrSubliminal has a chance to score his perfect 33.

Peace,
