This is called an "intelligence test" but I just think it is fun. I got about 8 of them, but for some reason they were not acknowledged. Furthermore, they don't give you the answers when you give up! But it is a good mental exercise. Have at it! (Or not.)

Its an old one - we've raised quite a lot of money in our village using a paper version. Interesting it is listed as an intelligence test - when I first discovered it (at least 12 years ago) I gave it to some pupils at school who were of the very lowest ability in English Language and they got several straight away. Its how your mind works - some can do this sort of puzzle and some can't.

23 and possibly 25, no way of checking the two I'm not sure of.

I have requested the answers from the person who sent it to me. (She figured out all but #31.) I think it's unfair that the site doesn't give you the option of getting them. When I get them, I will PM them to whoever wants them.

I can't figure out how to make it calculate my score. I figured out eleven, and entered them. I don't see a "Calculate" button or anything similar. At the bottom of the page it shows 0/33. It can't be scoring as one enters answers, or I would surely get SOME of those eleven counted, even if I was wrong on a few (doubtful) or entered them in some wrong form.

Can someone advise me what's going on?

Oh well - do I have to subtract points for not understanding Dave's message? Sorry, Dave.

There's a red border around the boxes when you type into them. If you get it right, they get greyed out. If it doesn't change and you're sure you had the right answer, check for misspellings, extra spaces or punctuation whoopsies.

I currently have 22 of them done, but have stalled rather. Are lots of them US references?

Trying to correct the invisible formatting errors is annoying, especially an extra space after the last word....

Right thanks, I've sorted it out now, I have a definite 24, and a couple which I thought were right but they don't. Remember to put the numbers in your answer too.

You need to make sure that the whole answer, including the nimber, is put in the box and that spelling and punctuation is correct. When you do that the answer turns green.

I couldn't get 7,8,11,12,14,15,17,28,29,30. Saul - If you get the answers I would like them please. I've pm'd the answer to 31.

I'm missing: 6 (although I'm sure I just made a minor mistake I can't suss out, 9, 14, 16, 29, and 31.

Jaqui, I'll send the ones I've got that you're missing, as soon as I get them off the form.

My final count is 28, or 27 if somebody (thanks Peace) helping you recognize a stupid mistake disqualifies one answer.

Many of the prepositions are used poorly and that certainly messes up interpreting the answers.

Between Jason and myself (hey, we work well together), we got all but # 15, 28 and 31. We now officially give up. If someone wants to PM the answers to me, we'd sure appreciate it.

Numbers test? Numbers! I'm a music major, duh!!--I can't do the math. I can count up to four (like Lawrence Welk could, otherwise) I don't need no stinking number--except of course when it comes to $$. That I can count.

ps. how do I "count" 6/8 meter? ONE-la-li TWO-la-li; 9/8? ONE-la-li TWO-la-li THREE-la-li; 12/8? ONE-la-li TWO-la-li THREE-la-li FOUR-la-li--I don't need no stinking numbers!

31/33, need 28 & 30

14, 17 & 31 are sports related and more likely to be solved by English than by Americans.

26 on the first attempt, but I only left 3 spaces, so I think it is down to careful wording on some. My three gaps were 5,10 & 30.
Others marked as wrong were 6,7 24 & 28.

For those still getting 0/33, you need to include the number in the answer as well

Not that this is as good as many or most of you, But I got 17 as correct and three which are correct (or at least could be correct), but not credited, for a total of twenty. I did not get credit for 6,13 & 32.
Anybody else have that problem?
