9 out of 12. The Moses thing got me, along with the baseball one (don’t know much about baseball) and on the math one I just winged it. ---

> [@Spectre of Pithecanthropus](#): > > The test must be taken with a grain of salt. > > Sometimes the ‘correct’ answer is wrong, e.g. in baseball not every inning has 6 outs. If the home team is winning in the middle of the ninth inning, don’t they stop the game right there? Yes, they do that, but thats not considered a full inning. Six is always the right answer. ---

11 right, but I’d seen a few of them before. Stupid pill question got me. :smack: ---

You scored 11 out of 12 - You are above normal! (Question 10 gets them every time!!) Remember to try out our other Densa quizzes, as well as the other brain teasers and puzzles. I too think moses has an ark. HOW THE HELL DO WE KNOW THAT HE DIDN’T!!! Nah, in all seriousness I was looking at this one from the wrong angle. I was looking at the number of animals half of the question trying to figure out ways they can trick me. I couldn’t come up with any so answered two. ---

> [@drm](#): > > I too think moses has an ark. HOW THE HELL DO WE KNOW THAT HE DIDN’T!!! Of course he did. He had the ark of the covenant, didn’t he? However I believe the story about him stuffing it full of llamas and sheep and zebras and stuff is largely apocryphal. ---

I completely forgot about that. He may have kept two of each type of _stuffed_ animal in there. I bet moses was just a big kid at heart…but then again he didn’t like all the figurines his brother made for him so who knows. ---

I’ll claim my answer (one) refered to animal penises and the Ark of the Covenant. It’s been a loooong time since I’ve read Exodus. 😃 ---

11/12. I put “60” for the pills thing, then erased it and put “30” because they each effect half an hour and I thought there was going to be a trick to it. ---

1. I know nothing about baseball, and the pills Q was a rotten cheat, and they know it. But I take full responsibilty for flipping Moses… :mad: ---

Some of the questions are flawed. It may not be logically possible for a man to marry his widow’s sister which makes it less likely that anyone passed a law against it. Moses may very well have let Eric his pet cat Eric his pet dog and Eric his pet half a bee ride on the ark of the covenant but Leviticus is silent on this point. ---

11 of 12. Sort of. I miread the pill question (I saw “how long” for “how many minutes”), and instead of answering “60 minutes”, I answered “one hour”. Same difference, but still, it’s a strike against me. ---

12 out of 12 But as others have said, most of these have been around a while. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/take-the-densa-test/244210.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/take-the-densa-test/244210.md?page=5)
