| Posted 12/9/2002 5:44 AM (GMT -6) | | Oh come on! None of you people get into puzzles? I know that some of you that are older than dirt can outdo me on this!
Besides the ones I couldn't get are bugging me, and if you get 'em you could share!
What is 64 L in a C B?
or, 15 M on a DMC?

| Posted 12/9/2002 6:11 AM (GMT -6) | | I think "15 M on a DMC" might be "15 Months on a D____ M____ Calendar." I just can't think of what D and M stand for.
Oh, and the reason you probably aren't getting a lot of response is because none of us have gotten to 23 yet (except for me, of course  ).

| Posted 12/9/2002 6:46 AM (GMT -6) | | Congrats BJ! I knew I could have been a lawyer! I just found out what the 15 men one is.
It's 15 men on a dead man's chest. What does that mean? And where does it come from?
Another one I can't get is 60 M in an H
It rejected 60 miles in an hour, and 60 minutes in an hour.
Unless I had a typo. Can you still be a genius if you make typo's and spell Fahrenheit wrong?

| Posted 12/9/2002 8:38 AM (GMT -6) | | I think "15 men on a dead man's chest" is taken from an old sea chanty that was referenced in Treasure Island (or some such nautical novel).
And "60 minutes in an hour" worked for me.

| Posted 12/9/2002 9:20 AM (GMT -6) | | Oh wow, 60 minutes didn't work for me cause I inadvertantly corrected the grammer when I typed it in (like you did above). The clue was 60 M in a H. I wrote 60 minutes in an hour.
That means I got 24!
Somebody call Mensa, ha.
I finished the NY Times crossword puzzle in about 10 minutes this morning too. I think every third day they put out an easy one so people don't get disouraged. 
Either that or studying algebra is doing wonders for the old noggin.

Do you mean 64 S on a C B? 64 squares on a chess board worked for me.

| Posted 12/9/2002 11:56 AM (GMT -6) | | So let me get this straight. This test was drawn up by an organization that claims to exclude all but the most genius among us, and is then published by said group with the kind of typographical errors that most sixth graders wouldn't have made.
Okay. Whatever.

Sorry I'm so late on that AAR thing. Family matters and thangs. I'm on it though. Fa sheezy. I did want to say something about this since I saw it. I'm sure that you and everyone else here recognize how culturally biased this test is, right? Chess board? Zodiac? Dead man's chest? Cmon... I wonder how many lower income, inner city dwellers people who go to substandard schools would get these things. Whatever...
Just a thought.
Holla,

Thanks for the fun puzzle.
I got to 25 (not counting the "15 M in a DMC" spoiler) before my browser hung up. I have not yet been able to get back to the link. I'm bummed, 'cause I think I could have figured out a couple more with more time. The ones I've solved on my own are:
1-15, 17-18, 20-23, 25, 27, 29, 32
If someone downloaded the Excel spreadsheet, please e-mail it to me at arhoda@pcigrp.com. Thanks!

| Posted 12/9/2002 2:58 PM (GMT -6) | | Hey Meph,
Good to hear from ya. I know what you mean. I saw one once with 'shrubs' for an answer. oy. I like a good puzzle but these IQ tests are so bad. The fact that I come up as a genius on this one is indicative of how off it is!
I'm still waiting for Modes on the AAR thing too. He was really excited about it when he got home. He just can't manage to stay off a plane long enough to talk about it.

| Posted 12/10/2002 4:12 AM (GMT -6) | | Hi Alan,
I tried to email you with the web address twice yesterday and it came back to me both times. Glad to see you got back to it anyway.
I'll figure out the ones I didn't get and put them up later, but they include four of the ones that that you didn't get. (100, 13=, 9, & 6)
13 loaves in a bakers dozen
23 pairs of chromosomes in the human body

| Posted 12/10/2002 4:33 AM (GMT -6) | | Alan & Springs, I'm stumped on the same ones as Alan plus
6) 52 C in a P (WJs)
14) 15 P in a R T
17) 11 P in a F (S) T
I don't want the answers yet, but I'll take a hint on what the P is in #6. Is it another word for deck or am I completely off track.
muchas gracias,
di

| Posted 12/10/2002 6:12 AM (GMT -6) | | what the heck, 23 pairs of chromosomes in the human body? how 'bout per cell and you have just a few cells in your body (hello). I protest that question and contend that I'm still a worthy scientist without getting that horribly inaccurate question. All the people in my lab are working together and we still only have 26. We're barely combined genii. Peace

Here's a couple hints for Springs & di:
15 P in a R T and 11 P in a F (S) T
both refer the # of players on a ....
Think of sports.

11 P in a F (S) T = Eleven players in a football (Soccer) team.
Never never never watch a movie with me that I've seen but you haven't seen. I'm incapable of not telling you what's around the corner!
