Lonecat has gone home, so you have slightly more chance of updates now. A busy couple of weeks, what with the Con, the Wedding, going to London to a Neil Gaiman signing and stuff, and it really deserves a longer update. Ho hum. Tomorrow I sign on to the Job Seekers Allowance, something I really should have done months ago. Fun

in the meantime, go see http://firstforsalebyowner.com/intelligence.htm, and tell me what results *you* got. I managed 5

    10. I’ve seen this type of question before and know how to think about them. And yes, I got the baseball one wrong :-)

    Got eight. I don’t know anything about baseball, I didn’t think properly about the apples (and it’s an ambiguous question anyway), and the Ark thing just slipped past me… I argue lack of religiosity. :-)

    I got 11, because I used to go around school asking people those questions. :)

    Hmm…11. These tests are designed to trick you, so you need to take more time, especially on the maths ones. Apparently only three people have ever scored 11, what that means I don’t know. Oh yeah, ‘Love will bloom soon’, er, better tell my wife, she may not be happy…

    9. There are ten outs in an innings, not six, but we can’t expect the yanks to understand cricket, and the pill question is ambiguous.
