• Hello!

The best thing on the web right now is this. Go and play, and waste years of your life [via tom]. I recommend you create a profile first, so you save your scores.

Interesting puzzle. I can do about a quarter of these? If you can solve any, post them as comments and impress me!

leaving
100 C in a R
23 P of C in the H B

hmm.... H B - holy bible?
*thinking*

23 Pieces of Credability in the Holy Bible? Perhaps not that many...

It's obviously a South African list:
100 cents in a Rand.

I think the answers are...

100 Cents in a Rand
23 Pairs Of Chromozones in the Human Body

Right? Wrong? I dunno! :oD

--Andi

Hey tajmaha - thats not fair, you beat me by 2 minutes :oD

--A

Wow - got them all :)

Does anybody have any of their own?

100 P in a P
1024 B in a M
8 B in a B
168 H in a W

100 pennies in a pound
1024 bytes in a meg
8 bits in a byte
168 hours in a week

Come on, Cal... If _I_ can get those :P

7 F on a C
2 S on a R


It's only two, but hey. I'll think of more

Oops, the first one should be 6. I hit the wrong key

6 Faces on a Cube

can't get the other one

Okay, so that was easy...

Um, 1024 bytes in a meg?

Bytes in a K, maybe, or K in a meg...

So I can't count either. It kinda makes sense so long as you don't think about it.

opps - that doesn't quite add up :)

13 Loafs to a Bakers Dozen is a FALSE answer as per the MENSA quiz...

Try... 13 loaves to a bakers dozen

13=UFS Unlucky For Some is the wrong answer ....

What's the right answer then?

That's a classic bingo callers line.. I know, my grandad used to call bingo..

Two fat ladies and all that..

You two anonomous people - technically all of the answers are right. Just because the original mensa version had different answers, it doesn't mean that these are any less right. Posting that people are wrong but offereing no alternative solution is just annoying.

On my version of the MENSA test, the only one that comes back false is 31 - 6 Bowls to an Over in Cricket.

what is your answer?

6 Balls to an Over in Cricket

6 Balls to an Over in Cricket

13=UFS

has to be put as

13 is Unlucky for some

= = IS

23 P of C in the H B = 23 Pairs of Chromosomes in the Human Body

the quiz was good but easy.
Plus millenium is spelt MILLENNIUM.

Optional answer: 23 psalms of corinthians in the holy bible
13 equals union flag stars

just adding in :

4 E S to a S
12 A in a C C
1600 M to a M
144 T in M

thats all i can think for now

For 9 L of a C the answer is not 9 lifes of act but 9 lives of a cat.

Hey why do I keep getting 23 P of C in the H B wrong... 23 Pairs of Chromozones in the Human Body??

learn to spell

(chromosomes)

Sandy: So. The answers are all written here, and have been for 2 1/2 years, and you STILL can't finish it?

does anybody know what 13k on a f would be--it's driving me crazy. thanks, jenny

Can anyone help me with these last few

17 NOTBS
50 COG
17 BWD
24 CCT
6 WSOTAF
9 M
400 PFMIM
16 SOJ
12 A (WOR)
7 AS

Thanks

So, I have to pick on the quiz as well. The designers made 3 or so mistakes: 'millenium' is spelled wrong (noted above) 'a octopus' really should be 'an octopus', and breaking the format of the test by indicating = instead of is.

I missed the = one, and had a hell of a time with the 1000 y in a m until I had a bad speller 'fix' it for me. I gave up before I got the octopus with 25 correct answers in 4 days.
