Mensa Genius Test

In case there weren't enough quirky tests around at the moment.
You guys have probably seen this before but there is a Mensa test where you have to think of what the letters stand for.

eg.
24 H in a D
is
24 Hours in a Day


There are 33 questions, and this website says if you get 19+ you are a genius but tbh that's crap (for starters I got 20 ) and when I first saw it it said more than 23, so it's probs not true.

And apparently only 2 mensa members managed to get all 33.
Oh and the puzzle originated in South Africa.




But the only thing that matters is that it's actually pretty fun.

Here it is.
Note this website extends the intelligence test further rather than just the 33 questions, but it does show you when you are right which is a bonus




And try to warn in your post if you're going to discuss answers.

This is a tough test for non natives I think.

My solved numbers so far:
2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 32

Makes 20 in summary

I'm quite sure I have the right answer on number 6 and 20, but probably have a typo there..

yeah you have to make sure you get the

'in a'

etc right, as it may be 'in a' or 'in an', depending on the answer.

The ones I can't get are 9, 11, 24, 29, 31


edit:

make that 11, 24, 31

edit:

make that 11, 24

edit:

now just 11



when I first saw this though there were other people around who said about 3 answers that i dno whether i would have got on my own, the rest I got though..

LOL. I always said all IQ related test are total nonsense.

For example, i only had 14 of these answered.

To make it more ironic, I passed official Mensa Test in my country.

This isn't an IQ test..

It's just some kind of Mensa exercise that I found amusing, strangely

It's not a very well designed test.  Many of them are quite ambiguous and take more time to figure out correct punctuation and word choice and spelling than the underlying concept.

I looked up some of the answers. Most of them require ridiculous trivial knowledge that no one in our generation would know.

88 books of the bible

I will never know that, will I ever care. Mensa can suck it.

That's cause devout atheists know more about the bible than christains do.

I'm someone who doesn't care, so I know nothing.

No, it is because there are 2 more questions about the bible.
39 books of OT....27 books of NT.
NT is typical short form for New Testament. So this one was solved....
OT was a conclusion then...and the 66 was just a summary.
