Tedow, check your spelling. It is seriously anal about spelling.

Thanks for the Flag. I knew it was somewhere in the colonies!

Because nobody like being frustrated? I gave fair warning!

4Runner, Mensa is a social organization like many others, just using tested minimum I.Q. as the entry requirement. That requirement is not all that stiff. Some regional groups are a lot of fun and I remember having a blast at the big annual USA gathering (at least used to be) in Asilomar.

There is normally an inverse relationship between I.Q. and social skills so this gives geeks a safe place to play. My personal take on it is up to a certain I.Q. smart people can blend in with troglodytes if they desires but above some threshold, around 165 IMO, they give themselves away and have zero patience for mere mortals.

13 of 33 and the ones I googled (which I did not count) I would not have gotten because I would have stopped caring by the time the answer came to me.

I did however use google to spell check. If you count against my spelling I got about 10 out of 33
