    Talking Are you a Genius?

    Get 19+ right and you are indeed a GENIUS!

    http://intelligence-test.net/part1/

    My score = 28!!!
    I sent my Soul through the Invisible,
    Some letter of that After-life to spell:
    And by and by my Soul return'd to me,
    And answer'd "I Myself am Heav'n and Hell :"

    I got 30. The three I couldn't figure out were "90 D in a R A", "6 B to an O in C", and "15 M on a D M C". I should have been able to get "90 D in a R A", but I ran out of patience.

    Scheherazade, that's impressive that you figured all of them out! But why give the answers away here?

    I'm quoting one of my favorite moderators here
    18 holes in a glof course
    Well I can't be a genius, because I've never gloffed...nor have I ridden in a glof cart, nor used a glof club. Oooooh I'm gonna git it for this.

    I was solving that test on Croatian(my native) and I've got 20/24. I am not sure is that good.
    At thunder and tempest, At the world's coldheartedness,
    During times of heavy loss And when you're sad
    The greatest art on earth Is to seem uncomplicatedly gay.

    To get things clear, they have to firstly be very unclear. But if you get them too quickly, you probably got them wrong.

    Of course no competition. I just said that because I thought, unless I provided the answers, you might have suggested that it sounded "dodgy".

    You mean the millennium one, I think. It doesn't accept it but I know it is true so... *shrugs*
