I always thought mensa questions would be harder. I solved all of them in under 5 minutes.

Sorry for delay in reply, I didn't get to go to the MWR on this last mission and just got back to my base.

These are all straight off the mensa.org website. If you solved them all in 5 minutes, why didn't you pm me the answers to see if they were right?

Re: [SBCDave] Mensa stuff
I could do them in 5 minutes also as I already posted many of these. Smile

Inzite's answers were far more creative this time.Wink He generally is correct on solving all the puzzles.

Inzite's were pretty fucking funny.

And, if you were able to answer them in 5 minutes, how about you send me the answers so I can tell you if they were right.

Um, again. I had the answers, hence why I could do them in 5 minutes. Tongue
