Are you a Genius?

[Nephythys]

You have to work out what the letters mean. See No. 0 as an example.
According to MENSA, if you get 23 of these, you are a "genius".
Only 2 MENSA members achieved full marks. See how well you do.

I've seen this many times so I honestly don't remember what I figured out on my own and which I just remember. So I won't be playing.

That said, some are regional. Even the smartest Mensan-American isn't going to have a good chance at getting #31.

And: Yes, I am.

[Moonliner]

Google seems to know all of these. Does that make it smart?

Can I say I'm smart because I can reason out correct tool (Google) to solve this quiz?

Or is this really just a dumb**** way to test IQ?

[Nephythys]

Hell if I know-it doesn't give you an IQ #...I just thought they were fun to figure out.

You can say you're a smartass. But we already knew that.

Perhaps Nephy can check my answers?

Some of the ones you skipped:

8 18 H on a G C holes on a golf course
10 5 T on a F just a guess, but tines on a fork
12 3 B M (S H T R) blind mice (see how they run)
16 100 C in a R centiretards in a retard (okay, that one's probably wrong)
32 1000 Y in a M years in a millennium

Morri:

I've done this one before, and I highly agree with your sentiment of bias. I want to say it came up in a classroom discussion and my professor agreed. Or something like that.

Oh wait, #10 5 T on a F is probably toes on a foot

[Morrigoon]

GD: my brain kept going to your first idea on that one, even knowing it was wrong. I like your second answer.

For #12, I was thinking the B M part, but couldn't answer what was in the parentheses. Dagnabbit, I'm sure you're right!

#8 drove me nuts and I can't believe I didn't think of that answer, but there's another one I'm sure you're right on!
