For the record, I scored 11/11. See how well you do.

10/11. The one I missed, I knew I missed but it was a tough pill to swallow.... :wink:

8 also.


Betcha JP missed the Moses question.

Only 8 :blush: I'm a wee bit of a perfectionist, I also suck at word games like that...

That was a tricky one - and I think the correct answer would be 90, but I made an assumption that you'd take the first pill right away, although technically the problem wasn't clear on that. I took a guess and got lucky on that one!

10... that California thing: There's a LAW to <span style="font-style: italic">prohibit</span> THAT? That needs a better set of choices. I KNOW the relationship (or lack thereof under the circumstance)... but a law?!? Should/could be phrased better. I answered: "I don't know"

feh.

Those questions and the rest of those tests are given way too much import, IMO. We were all "tested" in the schools in PA, seventh or eighth grade, IIRC. A female classmate and I scored too high. We'd outscored all in our county, past and present, she one point higher than me... BIG bruhaha, we were individually interviewed later by some kind of "officials", they were trying to figure out if, or HOW we'd "cheated"!!! When the test was administered we were seated on opposite sides of the classroom, all was supervised by adults, no way for either of us to have "copied" from the other. They couldn't accept the results as coincidence but couldn't find any "wrongdoing" either.

...we both got umbrellas after the dust settled...

Funny - we can elect a dead person to public office but can't marry one. Probably something to do with inheritance rights. Or maybe a need for a signature on a marriage license.


10. Missed the pills.

:lol:

And dead people can vote, too. :wink:

11 - but I had to think about a couple of them.

Makes my head hurt.

Here's my results:
You GOT a score of 10 out of 11

The California question did me in :frown:

OK, here's one more question:
There is a boat docked in the marina with a 10 foot ladder hanging off the deck. The bottom of the ladder is just skimming the top of the water. If the tide goes up by 2 1/2 feet, how much of the ladder is showing out of the water?

"All" of it.

Just to clarify that question Mark... all of the animals came in "two's" except for the worms--- they came in pears.

Let the Moses ? get me.
I liked the way the first one gives you a clue to the thinking behind them.

No, wait - that's Walter's game thread...
