33 D on a W S

Well, ya, it’s obvious, innit?

I’ve got 20, so that makes me a genius. I could stop there but I may keep looking at it off and on until I sign off. I take breaks from it every so often and do other things, then when I come back to it I usually get a couple more. There are some that if you get one it will make a couple others more obvious to you. Haven’t looked at any spoilers yet.

So far I think #19 is the stupidest.

I just realized why I breezed through this set so easily: I’ve done it before, a few years back. I did get all 33 on my own that time too, but it took me several hours.

The “British Commonwealth” nature of some of the clues got me the last ones I had; the SA one was a guess based on that insight. I even sent an email correcting the quiz author on the last one I got stuck on, which had been 23 C in the H B, pointing out that actually there are 46 Cs arranged in Ps, which I see he’s now fixed :slight_smile:

I barely qualify as intelligent <12>. I skipped over anything that didn’t immediately spring to mind. What I am amazed at is that the 27 B in NT answer sprang immediately to mind, though I am not religious and have never read the Bible <beyond thinking the parts about Armageddon were really cool when I was a kid>.

9 P in SA I thought I knew, but have no idea why I thought I knew it. I was wrong, apparantly, and now I have to see what it was, since it clearly isn’t 9 praetoriates in South Africa. :stuck_out_tongue:

28/33.

I got real frustrated when I couldn’t figure out 23 P of C in the HB. I kept barking up the wrong tree.

Once I read the spoiler, having found references to US/AUS phrases, I’m going to readjust my score. This give me a 28/30.

I’ll take that instead. I’ve never been to England.

Hell, now I’m wondering why I equate a praetoriate with SA at all.

Anyone know what a praetoriate really is, historically? I can find definitions for praetor, but no hint that ‘praetoriate’ was ever a functioning political or geographical term. Hrm.

27/33. A lot of them have similar themes.

I got 26, and it appears most of the ones I didn’t get were geographic or sporty in nature, so I don’t mind missing them.

Yeah I’m guessing the author went to perochial school.

I don’t want to live in a world where “5 Tits on a Frog” isn’t the right answer. Otherwise, 21.

I got 28 of them.
29, if you think “64 shades on a Crayola box” is also acceptible for #29. :wink:
(Okay, I know, it’s “in,” not “on.”)

I got 22, would have helped if I knew more about Christian scripture or British sports.

Right, I feel less crappy about what I didn’t get seeing how many of them are things in which I have no knowledge or interest. I was originally going to quit at around 7, but I didn’t like the test referring to me as “somewhat intelligent” (bastard) so I didn’t stop until I reached the genius mark, then threw in a few more just for good measure. Slow work day.

Do 13 and 32 use some weird British spelling??? Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. There are 1000 years in a millennium. I’m pretty sure of this. Anyone who passed grade school knows this, okay? So why does it think I’m wrong? And I used spell check, too.

Really? I’ve been trying to figure that one out for like an hour and I’m not getting anything that fits at all :smack:

32D.

Oh, wait, wrong thread.

12, 14, 15, and 19 made my eyes bleed.

Apparently I have a thing for remembering numbers…even though I can barely add.

24 before I got bored
