    I reckon that anyone that's really smart wouldn't join mensa.

    I wouldn't visit the Daily Scum site anyway, but being smart is obviously far more than just having some high IQ, I would've thought that was pretty obvious,

    8 out of ten. I actually had all ten but it wouldn't accept Boats and To in question 8 because it wanted Boast and So (both ways work). Also question 3 I wrote 20:00 but the answer box was only accepting 8pm despite the times in the question being given in 24 hour format.

    I got that with 20:00, cheating thick ****ing Mensa pricks. Took a while but I got 9 (10 with 20:00), so really I got 10.

    Why are the vast majority of the questions maths based? Is that all that is required to determine if someone is clever?

    I have had some outstanding scores in IQ tests throughout the years but all this proves is that I am good at IQ tests - I still had to shovel asphalt for 23 years to make a quid. I love the challenge of "The Times" Cryptic Crosswords armed with a Thesaurus and a Franklin electronic Crossword solver and Spell-checker. This makes me no more intelligent than the next man but gives me a 'great sense of achievement' when I complete the b@st@rds!

    I don't think anyone will disagree with that statement.

    ARR AM REYULLY CLEVVER.

    So no, I wouldn't be.

    I went to school with someone who was allegedly a mensan*.

    He was good at maths basically.

    I wasn't. He laughed at me.

    Boring story. I'm sorry.








    *Is that the correct term for someone in the cult of Mensa? Is it a cult? Do they have a handshake?

    Cheers

    I think they're called Mensal cases. Or they should be.
