I don't think the careless excuse is as solid as you think it is.

i got em all right

MLYLT,

I'm grunching here, but I thought your excuse for doing poorly at the IQ test was that you were dyslexic. Now you're saying it's that you didn't use a calculator (which no one else did either, I guess), and that you can't read your own handwriting. Or that you were chemically imbalanced while taking the test.

Which of your excuses would you like to stick with?

So we'll just put this down as a win then, right Babs?

Guys she's prolly not that dumb, you Wynn some you loose some

MLYLT,

I double checked with sumey and he didn't actually get it wrong either, his process for arriving at the wrong answer was identical to your process for arriving at the wrong answer, so it seems only fair to put you two in the same category, that's all.

Shouldn't need scratch paper to add 2-3 2 digit numbers IMO, especially as an engineer

Hmm.
I am pretty sure that I did right the question with funny word. But I have now to look-up, which coin values USA has. Had no idea with this.

But that is funny. Although it is just for lulz, still the same feeling like in my university exams.

BA,

Novembir was really weird though.

What? This IQ test has questions like: what's the sum of 94, 77, 38?

If so, I'm scared of finding out what the Google/cheater word was.

As a euro I can say that word stumped me.

Definitely way easier with a calculator. All the math could easily be done by hand, but it would be tedious.

Having to google any words on the test is pretty lol. And clearly cheating because knowing the meaning of the words is the point of the question.

Larry,

I'd expect many/most of the posters ITT to get 100% of the questions on that test correct.

I agree w/ MLYLT that the mystery word is one many Americans will not know. I believe most non-Americans will know it. Basically it's something that is commonly eaten in Europe and Asia (and maybe Africa? I dunno), but not so much in the US.

However, even if you don't know it, it is easy to figure out the correct answer. The question is like this:

Which is different:
A. Dog
B. Puppy
C. Spitz
D. Cat

Even if you don't know what a Spitz is, it is still easy to figure out that the answer must be D.

edit: also #10 is a terrible question

Here's a hint. A Spitz is a nine time Olympic gold medal winning swimmer.

wait, the mystery word wasnt



???

skill,

I'm guessing it was choice C in the which thing is different question.

so you telling me the glutton and dyslexic person gets stumped by delicious animals and not by a 10 letter word with a "q" in it?

El D -

The answer is clearly B as it is the only juvenile animal listed.

ETA: Or maybe C as the only specific breed of animal.

Sumey,

Yes, another terrible question by Larry. Two valid answers there.

Squeteague?

sumey,

Those are the same thing.

Oh yeah I'm clearly drunk ignore me

I'll get my coat
