136 Visionary Philosopher… What would be _more_ useful than this laundry list of scores and pointless titles is to see how various people solved the puzzles. Having seen most of them (or slight, but predictable, variations) before, it’s basically (for me, anyway), a question of “given these three new kinds of problems, can you solve them all and get a perfect score?” In particular I’m wondering how people solved the gray box problem … second page, kinda near the bottom, consisting of four dary gray boxes and 12 light gray boxes. The dark ones moved into a different spot every picture … well, two of them did, anyway;) ---

140, Visionary Philosopher. I wonder what I answered differently from **hillbilly queen** to get the same score but different title. And damn you, **RTFirefly** , I’m staring in confusion trying to figure out what I got wrong now. There goes my (currently nil) productivity for the day … ---

135, Visual Mathematician. But since I’m not a native speaker of English, I get to add 20 points to my score. 😉 ---

That pissed me off. I took the two page test, then there was this “in order to finalize your results we need this info” and it was asking for all kinds of personal info including a valid email address. Screw that! I keep myself fairly spam-free(1-2 a week) by AVOIDING stuff like that. If I had known that would be a requirement I wouldn’t have bothered ☹ Enjoy, Steven ---

Hmm, maybe I misread, but I thought it said the results would be e-mailed to the address. How would putting in a fake address help me if I can’t get the one thing I came to the site for? I’ll go back and look again. Enjoy, Steven ---

Im a 138 precision processor. Im curious what people put for the dissimilar fruit. coconut grape banana apple pear I finally went with banana cause all the rest are mostly round, but the grape is different because of size, and the cocnut is a candidate to cause it comes of the tree in an inedible state. ---

Pah.

They don’t send anything worthwhile … I know because on occasion I’ll use an email address I still have the password for;) ---

I was ticked that someone had already used [goaway@now.com](mailto:goaway@now.com) as an email addie. And I see that **Lib’s** smarter than me. Why am I not suprised by that information? **wolfman** : I picked coconut as the odd one out because all the others are fruit, but a coconut is the seed from a fruit.
