It's always the quiet kittens that keep to themselves and bother no one that become snipers.

Hey Rowan, I have never even seen a Mensa test. I figure if I never look at one, I won't feel dumb if it looks hard! Who knows, I might do okay, but for most of my life, although I always scored in the upper 90's for most 'IQ" test scores, one category always messes me up - mechanical reasoning. I might get 98 across the board except this. And it's as low as 70's. You know that category, where they show you these bizarre inverted 3d objects and you've gotta unscramble them mentally.

I heard Mensa tests are mostly in that category. Poor me! There was a magazine back in the 80's which asked a single Mensa question at the back every month. Sadly I forget which mag.

Anywho, I got the thread!!!

What do you mean by the 90 perecentile? On regular tests I get in the 130's depending on the test. I've taken their mini test on line and it says I stand a good chance, That is why Im tempted to try. But I keep debating it 'cause it seems so egotistical or like you have low self esteem and need to prove something. I can do those spacial things without too much trouble, it's more the math that I have trouble with, and word scramble tends to be a bit of a challenge.

[Muffit]

Eeks Braxiss, sorry to hear about your HD. I know I would be devastated. Even with backups, it's so very hard and takes so long to get the system working like you want.

[braxiss]

we're in day five and i still can't find half my files,

oh well they probably arn't important anyway

PST. I have the thread!!!

[braxiss]

i think a visit from a sith lord just might do it some good(or totally fry it)either way it'll be fun to watch

[Muffit]

Hi Rowan! Yeah, I meant 95-98% out of 100, not 90 points total. We used to get tons of random tests in school, besides the normal ACT and SAT. They rate you in like 7 categories, then give an overall score. My mech. reasoning always messed up my total.

I like jigsaws alot, but not those brain teaser puzzles. I also don't like video games that make you think too hard. Reading classical literature is the only time I like thinking hard, cuz it's so rewarding.

In the old days before computers, there were these elaborate strategy games, pioneered by a company called Avalon Hill. They were all the rage. And they were rated by difficulty, 1-10. I got one rated 9 once cuz I thought, "It's just a board game - how hard can it be?"

Eeks! I even gave the manual to my Mensa friend, and he threw up his hands in surrender! Too hard!

[holodoc2000]

ROFLMAO! I'm sure that the Dark Jedi could arrange that for ya braxiss.

Hi Thomas! I still have several! If I remember right I have:

Circus Maximus
Magic Realm
Alpha Omega
Wooden Ships Iron Men
And one i always call Orc Frenzy cuz I can never remember the name

As you can see, I never really bought any of the regular war games (yep, I'm a scifi/fantasy person all the way!). The only sad thing was, I could never talk anybody into playing against me. *sigh* Nobody wanted to read a manual that was longer than 3 pages. Oh well, I loved shopping for them! We had a store with the whole upper floor dedicated to these games! Must've been thousands (even home-grown ones). Every so often I would come home with one and my spouse would say, what the heck did you buy that for?

And I would say, "Itttt was onnnn saaaaaale!!!!" (Python is so great...)

[braxiss]

haven't seen dawg in awhile myself

[Rowan]

Dawg was online when I came on now he's dissapered!

Muffit did you ever play Myst?

GRAB!!

[holodoc2000]

tee hee! I'm snatching thread now.

Guess I am gonna have to hog tie Dawg when I see him to it that he stays put for awhile.

On that note I have a REAALLY good one for ya Rowan (and everyone). REALLY funny.

Many, many years ago, computers had no video screens. We talked to them exclusively by a printer with a keyboard (TTY). We would wait what seemed like eons for the computer to process what we just typed in, then finally ask us a question, which it typed out at a "blistering" 33 chars a minute!!! So slow!!!

One day, the mainframe was broken, and printing out all kinds of garbage. Mostly it was right, except a couple chars would be mispelled. The engineers from the mainframe company came in and scratched their heads over it for hours. They finally thought they had it.

As we all stood there, a little crowd around the printer, we watched as the guy responded to the boot questions. You know, like "Taape Reedder?" -- YES. "Prinnnter?" -- YES (kinda a stupid question since how else could we see what it was saying). Then it came to the storage media question...

"Floppy disk???" Only it didn't say "disk". It replaced the "s' with a "c"!!!!

We were already giggling like crazy. Then he had to type the reply: "YES"

WE BUSTED UP!!!!!
