    Their public average is 39.7, their Focus team average is 56; the SF average so far is 70 something! Odin's score score seems inordinately high considering the Focus team comprises of science journalists and proffesors.

    85. It was a little culturally biased. Describing the drawing was fun...

    An insurance scheme pays benefits to it's members who are sick for extending periods of time at the following rates for the first 24K per annum (pa) of salary. The benefit is paid for each month in which the member is sick and is not being paid by the employer:

    1st month: nil
    2nd-3rd months: 50% of normal salary
    5th and succeeding months: 25% of normal salary

    am i being really stupid?what about the fourth month?

    It's a little dodgy doing the ones where you need a friend to help. I was pretty conservative on those bits giving myself a 3 or 4.

    I'm with you kenworth, that first question was a nightmare. Nice to see a different kind of IQ test, though. Even though it hurt my brain.

    I clicked through the answers in 2 minutes picking random options. I focussed on the middle option when possible.

    The average score is 39.

    My random clicking got 41.

    Enough said about this test.

    I got a 72. I guessed at some. It got much easier for me at the end.
    I think it was way too early for me to do any better. I will retake it tonite. I didn't read the correct answers of the ones I missed. Interesting....

    No, i didn't guess. I didn't read the questions or answers. I just went for the middle option when available. Otherwise something nearby.

    81 here, is that good?

    Besides which, the thing is British based...I'd have to be a trivia-phile to know some of those things.

    Just for shits and giggles, after I retook it once (83 that time), I went through quickly and answered them all correctly based on the key, and I got a 98. I suppose that should be the thing that you compare your scores to.

    I just took it again and went for answers a, b, c, for each question, and I got an astounding score of 210!

    See, that is smart. Thinking outside the box.
