i was going to say 15 seconds a question is harsh, and it is... but now i can see why:

i probably wouldn't finish, because i would read the questions too carefully, but if i got any of those wrong i'd really be ashamed..

5x21 and spot the difference...?

omg.. i just remembered the scores you posted for the players O.o



...

...

how old were they when they took the tests? :S
this cant be for adults...

do they get a point for writing their own name at the top?

interesting fact:

there is an IQ test made specifically for football players....



... i wonder what the real numbers are :S
like what 100 on this is equivalent to on a normal test (20 correct answers being 100)
it's probably not far off given the time limit. maybe -10 or something..


by the way, in case people dont know, average on an IQ test is ALWAYS 100. if the general population gets smarter, it makes 100 harder to reach. it does not make the average more than 100. the entire point of the IQ system, is that 100 is average. think of it as %, and that person is 100% of a normal person.
90 IQ = 90% of a normal person
110 IQ = 110% of a normal person
but the bench mark is ALWAYS 100 as the average person.

they are also kinda bs, because people get better at doing the test without actually getting any more intelligent.
(ie. nintendo's brain trainer - all you're really doing is getting better at the test)

.... i'll be surprised if anyone gets this. i didn't. i did look it up afterwards though. but this is what i mean, now i know how to do those types of test, i can do them. nothing to do with intelligence really.

Image

solution:




you flip the top one upside down, overlay it on the second one, then the overlapping lines cancel each other out

..... see what i mean though, it's a bit harder than spot the difference... :roll:

right actually, that was not the one i was trying to figure out.... but the one i was trying to figure out, has actually come up in the image search as well.

i looked up this one above, for tips on how to do this one below. but honestly, i still couldn't figure it out.

Image

it's kinda annoying actually... it's not normal for me to get stumped on stuff.
i need to get some more weed and stare at it for a few hours :ugeek:

... gad damnit why would you remind me of this :lol:






grrrrrr. i reckon if i did some more of these types of questions it would be easier to know what im looking for.... >.<
i cant stand it tho, knowing it's not impossible, but not being able to do it... that's not supposed to happen. i refuse to believe im a dumbass lol

HAHA! it is E!

im not sure why tho lolol. i remember i thought it was E from the first time, but i discounted it because it's a duplicate of the first box, and none of the others are duped.

but i never found another possibility.

apparently it's one of the last 3 questions on the official Mensa Norway test. but that is *hard*.

i think the wonderlic one probably goes on time a lot more than whether you get them right or not, like they're all quick fire questions.

right back on topic... *ponders*


water is chemically bizarre because it contains hydrogen bonds, which make it do weird things like expand when it freezes. no other substance does this. the same is true of the surface tension of water. it has some very very very strange chemical properties, which could have something to do with why it makes life.

I live less than 10 miles from Harris County.. the update to that was even worse.

"Homemade masks, scarfs, banana hammocks, and bandanas" I will try to find a snapshot of the update.

I guess they do grow em bigger in Houston, TX. :popcorn:
