The best I could do (after 15min of trying) is 14,
how many can you get?

Spelling is VERY important. Misspelled a couple and got them wrong.
...very entertaining, though.MrBigBlueLight
Usually right, but sometimes not entirely factually correct.

Punctuation AND spelling will get you a couple more. I'm at 16 and working on the rest. Apostrophes are important.
I've got 21 of them now, and number 13 is killing me. It's very obvious what it is and there's no way I've mispelled or omitted punctuationLast edited by George Grand; 11-04-2006 at 05:21 PM.

The only words I know in German that start with "F" are Frankenstein and Farfegnuggen. You got a German dictionary over there or what Norm?

Got 21 in a half hour, though.
Entertaining, anyway.

I know how to spell Fahrenheit, and that's exactly how I used it. Be kind of tough to mispell any of the other words in that one. It just won't turn green.

I gave this to the wife. She's at 25 and counting (in about 10 minutes). I knew she was smarter than me.

I just got up to 23 by luck. It appears that if you don't start your answer in the very first slot of the answer box it doesn't give you credit.
Make that 24. That's what was wrong with my "Fahrenheit" answer too!
Let's start a thread and make up our own.
76 T in T B P
4 H of T A
2 T D
3 F H
4 C B
Make that 25, just got # 5.Last edited by George Grand; 11-04-2006 at 09:20 PM.

I don't want to mess with my "genius" rating on this test. I'm afraid if the 4 scores get averaged out I'll be back to dunderhead status. If I'm so smart, why do I do so many dumb things in the course of a day?

How do you get the answers?!?! I can not get #32. according to Word "millenium" is spelled properly.

You must have a dumb version of Word. My Office 2003 version says "millenium" needs to be fixed. Originally Posted by daniel_paul_
