OK, now THIS is interesting.
Edited on Wed Aug-18-10 04:28 PM by LeftyFingerPop
I take a LOT of intelligence tests online. I have always done so over the years. I consistently score just above or just below "genius" level. I'm not bragging, because I do not think it means shit unless you take a standard test with repeated similar results.

Anyway, I was working on this little piece of horror for about 90 minutes last night. Genius level is getting 19 correct. I got 18, and then got frustrated and quit. There is no time limit on the test. I'm sure a lot of you will do better than I did, but it is not as easy as it looks.

1. Tip if you are taking this test:
Get up and walk around every few minutes, then come back to it.

63. gratuitous...one hell of a nice job.
I know that if I spent a little more time with it last night, I would have got 3 or 4 more and that is it. Looking at the answers, there are some of them that I would never had got in a million years: the last one and the ones related to the bible in particular.

Well done!
