Here is a test that supposedly according to MENSA if you get 23 of 33 correct you're supposed to be a genius.
Took me 2.5 hours to finish - good luck 1 or 2 are hard!
00. 24 H in a D = 24 hours in a day
01. 26 L of the A
02. 7 D of the W
03. 7 W of the W

05. 66 B of the B
06. 52 C in a P (WJs)
07. 13 S in the USF
08. 18 H on a G C
09. 39 B of the O T
10. 5 T on a F
11. 90 D in a R A
12. 3 B M (S H T R)
13. 32 is the T in D F at which W F
14. 15 P in a R T
15. 3 W on a T
16. 100 C in a D
17. 11 P in a F (S) T
18. 12 M in a Y
19. 13=UFS
20. 8 T on an O

28. 23 P of C in the H B
29. 64 S on a C B
30. 9 P in S A
31. 6 B to an O in C
32. 1000 Y in a M
33. 15 M on a D M C
1) 26 letters in the Alphabet.
2) 7 Days in the Week

Is there a way to tell if I was right on any of 'em?
I don't think Americans have much chance on nos.14 & 31 ! (or perhaps no. 24).
9 players on an American Rounders Team :wink:
(and thats ANOTHER clue for 14 and 31 !)
29. 64 Squares on a Chess Board.

yeah, 31 should be something with cricket...but I guess we will never know until someone from Commonwealth looks this topic
Btw, I don't think 14 is right. I'm not 100% sure but I think there are 13 players in rugby.
5...books of the bible
12...blind mice. See how they run.
14...players in a rugby team
26...lives of a cat
30..provinces in South Africa ?
28...pairs of chromosones in the human body
31...balls in a cricket over
