I'm stuck at 29/33. These are the type you either snap onto or might never get. I used to be a Mensa member but I stopped paying dues, so does that count?

I didn't get 7, 12, 30, or 31. I keep trying to squeeze "13 states in the United States' founding" into 7 but it won't take! Anyone who got these please enlighten me. Okay, some hints follow so don't read if you're going to try these --





Geez, at least three biblical references (5, 9, 22)? One-track-mind.

And who in America cares about rugby or soccer (14 & 17)?

10 = toes

11 = right angle

15 = tricycle

19 = unlucky for some (odd way to say it?)

20 = octopus

21 = leap year

24 = bakers dozen

28 = chromosomes

29 = chessboard

33 = yo, ho, ho and a barrel of rum

14 so far, but how is "1000 Y in a M" not 1000 years in a millenium? I claim 15!

Does anyone actually buy into this mensa bullshit? It seems to me like another money-making scheme to me. An ex-member said you have to pay dues...

This statement isn't even correct:

"23 pairs of chromosomes in the human body"

plus the biblical and cultural references...

This test is somehow supposed to determine someone's IQ?

It is fun to do though when you are bored. It's just like a variant of the crossword puzzle.
