Mensa! o/

Post by Drofder2004 » July 3rd, 2005, 5:28 am

You know you love it... :P

Ok, this isn't some random post. I mentioned this in another post where things were getting a little off-topic :P

As a change to testing who is the greatest jumper or greatest shooter or the greatest spammer (peds :roll:)...

Ok, challenge for everyone! Complete this test as fully as possible.

Of course you do not have to participate, nor do you have to care. Just thought it would be good for a small change in the daily lifecycle of all you computer junkies :P

Remember this isn't a test of how clever you are, and it certainly does not matter what IQ you got on a test. This is a test of logical thinking (although some questions are pure common sense).

Mensa Test!

-Make sure you time 30 minutes and try not to exceed it
-Pen/Paper allowed
-No cheating
-Dont lie about your score (see a few lines above)

Also remember, this is only the mensa work out. the real mensa exam is a lot longer...

My score was 26/30 and it took nearly the whole 30 minutes.

Being dutch and nearly completing the question, that pretty good imo. If it were a dutch question, then I doubt I would get it :P

One of the sequences has nothing to do with the Nth term, it is purely logic with numbers.
