19 or more right and you're a genius according to Mensa.

[VanIslander]

We did that here on the boards about a year ago?

19 means genius?

I doubt it. I got 22 and others around here got more when we first did it.

It's more about cultural knowledge and acronym/puzzle ability.

Sorry to waste your time, VanIslander.

I got 19 in about 2 minutes without really thinking. I figured, why continue if i'm already a genius???

I got 26, but it took some thinking. (about 15 minutes) Could probably get a few more. I'm a bit upset that #24 isn't "13 Loaves in a Baker's Dozen." As English teachers, one would hope that we are all above average in "linguistic pattern recognition" but I agree that 19 was way to easy to count as "genius." On the other hand, if you can get a perfect score in under 15 minutes, that might count.

#24 is 13 loaves in a baker's dozen

The most I could manage was 22. I'm sure if I wanted to waste more time on it, I could figure out a few more...or not

I'm no genius.

Don't know if it makes me a genius or not (probably not ), but still a fun test.

This is a memory/association game, nothing more. Saw it in reader's digest about 3 decades ago. And loved it. Still do. If you are not American, could be tough (which means the validity is shot to hell.)
