    Probably some of you have seen this on the net before. But, I figured I'd post anyway. Look at question 0 for an example of what you're supposed to do.

    According to the copy I was sent, the scoring goes:

    1-5: Average
    6-11:Somewhat Intelligent
    12-18: Intelligent
    19+: Genius

    After doing it myself, I hope well over 50% of us are geniuses or else I haven't been giving myself nearly enough credit.

    Google the answers if you want to know, but don't spoil it for people who haven't seen it by sharing the spoils of your cheating.

    Well outside the statute of limitations for a thread, especially given all the HDTV, satellite vs. cable, and Comcast threads.

    I'm sensing a theme there.

    How many legs are there in the bus?

    They are looking for an actual number - not the word! It's not a trick question. Can you figure this one out...

    # There are 7 girls on a bus.
    # Each girl has 7 backpacks.
    # In each backpack, there are 7 big cats.
    # For every big cat there are 7 little cats.


    How many legs are there in the bus?

    An apple orchard is located next to a desert. The orchard owner has 3000 apples that he wants to carry to the market by camel, across a 1000 kilometer stretch of desert. The owner has only one camel. It carries a maximum of 1000 apples at any moment in time, and eats one apple every kilometer it travels.

    What is the largest number of apples that can be delivered at the market?

    10990?

    Everytime I edited, I was wrong. 10990 is my last guess. ;)

    Uhhh...the sultan loves apples, so a genius grew apple trees at an oasis. (it's a math problem)
