      A little like that apocryphal "morals exam".
      Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
      threadeds website, and here's my blog.

        I got 24, time for Rugby on TV so looked up the answers.

        Of the remaining 9, 5 I would never have got. It is especially ironic that 30 is one of these.

        Of the other 4 I could have got, 2 might have eluded me for a long time.

        The test is much easier than they claim. My IQ as officially measured in primary school was well short of genius. On the BBC test recently it had fallen 20 points since primary school. Do we get stupider as we get older? I certainly felt stupid doing the BBC test.

          After a certain age yes, according to MENSA anyway.

          They make allowances for children and older people.

            So that's what intelligence is all about. If i write a program which solves this puzzle, is this program intelligent?

              If I write a complex algorithm on a brick, is the brick intelligent?

                The brick isn't and neither the complex algorithm you write is. However, if they claim that their test measures intelligence, and my program passes it, then surely either my program or myself must be intelligent. It cannot be me because I got bored after 6 questions, and I doubt I can get more than half right anyway. So it must be my program, then

                  I could only get about 12 or 13 of them at first glance but, then again, I am a jarhead so what do you expect?
