    Yes I am... and I don't need to take a test to prove it.

    I'll guesstimate that my score is a 1,000,000,000,000,000.

    20 here. Didn't realize I only need 19 to qualify as genius, but now I do so I'm going to stop where I am. I usually like this kind of stuff but my brain is just not clicking tonight. I think Kobe's 81 points threw the whole universe off balance :p

    Not trying to pee in your Cheerios, but...

    that is NOT a mensa test. It's a very old puzzle that's been floating around the internet for a long time.

    Long ago, there was a thread here about it.

    33/33, wasn't too bad actually. Except I am not sure too many of you will guess the ones with rugby and cricket.

    I got 'em all, but cheated. This version of the puzzle has a strong foreign slant (for example, one of them is asking the number of provinces in South Africa. Gimme a break.)

    how'd you cheat?

    i'm still missing 15, 16, 17

    30/33 isnt too bad.

    edit - i dont count this as cheating, but the rugby and cricket questions i had to look to the rule books, they should americanize it and ask question on the nfl or nba or mlb even
