Puzzel

[Deviant]

This is a puzzel, acording to MENZA, if you get 23 you are a "genius". Only 2 Menza members achieved full marks. The puzzel comes from South Africa. You have to work out what the letters mean. The first is an example of what to do.

i think you mean MENSA, which a total crock. you know, according to MENSA there are no geniuses in MENSA. i read some MENSA literature a while ago, and man... it's so twisted. you'd basically have to be an autistic psychopath to come anywhere near being capable of understanding their twisted tests.

Totally agree. Just glancing over them it's obviously more to do with knowledge than intelligence. :)
Love the "austic pychopath" bit mird :cool:

Nice clues KJ,
Here are some more.

The puzzels is from South Africa, so one of them has something to do with that.

There are a few about sports,

and one about an old pirates song.

[Geek4Life]

I've known them all at one time before.

33 is the equivalent of "15 M on a DIC"

31.... 6 bowls to an over in cricket
11.... 90 degrees in a right angle
17.... 11 players in a football (soccer) team
14.... 15 players in a rugby team

I KNEW IT! Only I didn't want to have to use an atlas or anything to check... :o :o
( kinda defeats the purpose :D )
But now you've blown it - that's 30 - not PARTS, but kinda...

33.. is rather illegal, like you say.
14.. is our religion :D

OK, this is getting confusing now - we don't know:
7.... 13 S in the USF
28.. 23 P of C in the H B
29.. 64 S on a C B
31.. 6 B to an O in C

doh! now Geek4Life goes and beats me to two of them! :o :p

So we don't know:
7.... 13 S in the USF
28.. 23 P of C in the H B
29.. 64 S on a C B
