10 out of 12. Got taken by the Moses question (I was confused by the word ā€œmembersā€ā€¦ thought the trick was in there somewhere), and the widow question (dā€™oh). Cute test, I enjoyed it. ---

12/12, but I cheated. I read everything carefully, considered what it looked like they meant and what they really meant. I do the same thing on REAL tests. Itā€™s a curse. ---

11, but then again as a Limey I had to guess an answer for the baseball question and guessed 1 wrongly. ---

11 out of 12 Itā€™s twice as bad when a Catholic school boy and former alter boy missed the Ark question. ---

8/12 - my first intelligence test. I read the explanation of the pills answer twice and I still donā€™t get what the hell theyā€™re talking about. Good thing Iā€™m not a pharmacist. ---

> [@percypercy](#): > > 10 out of 12. Iā€™ve never liked that pill question. The pill question is kind of dumb, since itā€™s not clear whether you should take the first pill NOW, or in 30 minutes - too ambiguous. I got 10 right - missed the one about 28 days in a month and Moses on the ark. ---

1. I overthought the one about the pills and added an extra minute (for swallowing time I guess). Blew the one about Moses. Duh. I knew there was something wrong with it. Which other one did I miss ā€¦ oh yeah, the baseball one. Frig. ---

11 out of 12. Iā€™ve seen this several times before, but thereā€™s no way Iā€™m going to waste any of my brain power actually _remembering_ anything about baseball. ---

> [@neuroman](#): > > The pill question is kind of dumb, since itā€™s not clear whether you should take the first pill NOW, or in 30 minutes - too ambiguous. Although I agree, I wonder what logical reason there is for waiting 30 minutes to take the first pill. When I really think about it, it makes no sense, yet it seems to natural to assume it. I wonder why? 12 out of 12 because I already heard most (if not all) of the questions alsoā€¦ ---
