You might as well join. Although it hasn't gotten much interest yet, perhaps we can change that!

In an attempt to revive this sub-thread, I have actual questions asked on an actual Mensa form (possibly a few years old by now); again, no cheating, try to answer as many as you can. Avoid sharing the answers and after about a week, I'll post the actual answers and see how well you do.

Directions:
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 have managed to achieve full marks. See how well you do.

In my first go, I got 18. I spoke with some friends and managed to get 22 without their answers. Including their answers, I got all 33.

Since these are MENSA's questions, and not yours, they need to be in quote tags. I'll add those for you. :yes:

I noticed that when I was posting the answers. Pretty much shot myself in the foot on that one.

It's 12 L in a D. I was surprised when I first found out it was 13 in a B D. Question 33 is correct at 15.

Are you sure you have 125 correct as is? The answer IS, '15 Men on a Dead Man's Chest
