[SleestakSooner]

stupid is as stupid does...

but that test says I be smarter than the average bear eh booboo. Hell I even messed up on two of em.

[sanantoniosooner]

I'm 21.8% smarter than average. I should have done better.

[BigRedJed]

The first time I took it I got a 24. I've been retaking and retaking it, but can't get over 29. What's a perfect score?

[SleestakSooner]

What does knowing who sang a rap song have to do with intelligence is all I want to know?

[BigRedJed]

OK, I got it to 30. Suck it, losers!

[soonerboomer93]

why, because you just memorized the test and looked up the ones you weren't sure about?

:D

[BigRedJed]

Yep. But I did it fastest!

[OUDoc]

38.8% smarter than average.

[OCUDad]

100% apathetic.

[OUDoc]

100% apathetic.
Pffft. Apathetic would be 0%.

[jeremy885]

49.2% smarter than average.

I'm smarter than Doc ;)

[OCUDad]

Pffft. Apathetic would be 0%.Not if you're serious about it, Hippocrates.

[sanantoniosooner]

100% apathetic.
did that bad, huh?;)

[OCUDad]

did that bad, huh?;)I got a 29... is that good or bad? I'm in the camp that believes knowing which rapper did what is not a direct correlation to "smart or stupid."

I didn't want to brag, but you made me do it. :D

[soonerboomer93]

49.2% smarter than average.

I'm smarter than Doc ;)

hmm, he just has to write some info and sign a piece of paper to get good drugs

what do you have to do?

:D

[GottaHavePride]

I only got a 26. It said I'm 43.9% smarter than average, but I was also carrying on a conversation wih PG while taking the test. ;)

[mdklatt]

Verdict: SMART

27 (49.4% smarter than average)


I don't know which ones I missed. Probably the rapper one, but I thought I knew the other ones.

P.S. Pb is not the "chemical name" for lead. Dumbasses.

Heh. That bothered me as well. That's the chemical symbol.

[Frozen Sooner]

Damn it! Right between mdklatt and jeremy. 49.3%.

Didn't realize it was timed at first, so I lost some time on the first question before I noticed the pie graph. Which I guess is its own intelligence test.

[proud gonzo]

yeah. the test isn't so much a measure of intelligence, but of random things you know. i mean yeah, you'd be pretty stupid if you didn't know Hollywood is in California... But beer? rap? elvis?

another one that bothered me is the one that asked when Columbus landed in America.... because he didn't actually land in America.

[mdklatt]

Heh. That bothered me as well. That's the chemical symbol.

How pathetic is it when you correct an IQ test? :O

Is Carlsberg beer brewed in Sweden? And I guess I don't really know the alcohol content of beer, but it's about 5% right?

[GottaHavePride]

Yeah, about 5% is right - 10% is about the top end for really strong German double or triple bocks, it can be as low as 2 or 3 percent.

And I think Carlsberg is from Denmark.

[mdklatt]

another one that bothered me is the one that asked when Columbus landed in America.... because he didn't actually land in America.

The West Indies are part of North America.

:les: RACIST!!

[jeremy885]

Stay at work until midnight while working on month end close :(

He didn't?

I don't think he landed in 1492, but he did set sail then, and he certainly made landfall in the Americas.

[Frozen Sooner]

Looks like jeremy has a case of the monthlies.

Though considering it's the 13th and month-end close still isn't done, your butt BETTER still be at work. ;)

[mdklatt]

I don't think he landed in 1492, but he did set sail then, and he certainly made landfall in the Americas.

He obviously made it as least as far as Ohio....

[Frozen Sooner]

I'm just amazed at how far Cincinnatus made it.

[Ike]

I got the same score as klatt...but this isn't so much an IQ test as a "do you remember random facts" test.

and he is right, the chemical symbol for lead is Pb, but thats not the chemical name. The chemical name is Lead.

bonus spek for anyone that can tell me why the symbol for lead is "Pb"

[mdklatt]

bonus spek for anyone that can tell me why the symbol for lead is "Pb"

The Latin name for lead is "plumbum" or something like that.

[Ike]

The Latin name for lead is "plumbum" or something like that.
good enough. this is also the root word for plumbing as well, since roman plumbing used lead pipes.

[Vaevictis]

Question: Why does that element have a wierd symbol?
Answer: Mother****ing latin, that's why. Always mother****ing latin.

****ing plumbum, aurum, argentum, natrium. Goddamn Romans, why couldn't they speak English?

heh. that answer, coming from you, is greatness. :D

[Frozen Sooner]

What are the other ones that come from Latin?

Gold=Au
Silver=Ag

Potassium=K?

[Vaevictis]

heh. that answer, coming from you, is greatness. :D

Didn't I say it's always mother****ing latin? :mad:

:D

[Vaevictis]

What are the other ones that come from Latin?

Gold=Au
Silver=Ag

Potassium=K?

Step 1: Google Image "Periodic Table"
Step 2: Find any symbol that doesn't logically follow from the name.
Step 3: It's because of mother****ing latin.

:D

[SoonerAtKU]

Potassium = Kalium

[Frozen Sooner]

Gracias, Snob Hiller. ;)

[SoonerAtKU]

Oh, and I see now that they've finally named Unnilquadium et al. Nice.

[Ike]

What are the other ones that come from Latin?

Gold=Au
Silver=Ag

Potassium=K?

Antimony - Sb
Tin - Sn
Mercury - Hg

[SoonerAtKU]

I should probably change handles now that I'm not actually in Lawrence anymore. I'm feeling that STL flavor.

[OUAndy1807]

I got an 11

[OCUDad]

It ain't always mother****ing Latin. Sometimes it's mother****ing German.

See Tungsten.

:D

some are from mother***ing greek

Dysprosium - Dy

[Vaevictis]

Tin, Antimony, Iron, Mercury

[Frozen Sooner]

I'd really love to discover an element and name it something foul. Just because it'd make me giggle watching school boards in Kansas attempting to ban the teaching of the periodic table.

[SoonerAtKU]

Do you have to have some sort of naming symposium when you discover an element? Do people get to vote? Or, is this more of an "I claim this configuration for Spain" thing?

[OCUDad]

Does Mykrichium sound foul enough?

[Vaevictis]

It ain't always mother****ing Latin. Sometimes it's mother****ing German.

See Tungsten.

Clearly, some German screwed up his Latin somewhere. (I WILL NOT BE DISSUADED BY FACTS! GIVE IT UP!) :mad:

Yes, but Dy follows logically from Dysprosium. :)

[SoonerAtKU]

I once had an itch in my kritch.

Yep, that works as foul.

unfortunately, all elements now have a naming convention, even the undiscovered ones.... So there will be no more "californiums"

[mdklatt]

So there will be no more "californiums"

Isn't that the new Red Hat Chili Peppers album?

I was thinking more along the lines of strictcreationismis****ingstupidum.

Darwinium (Dw)

[Vaevictis]

Yeah, but with CoitusInterruptium, we've successfully implied:

1. Unprotected Sex.
2. Birth Control.
3. Facials. (or on other parts, anyway)

Am I missing anything here? All in a 18 letter name. :D

[tommieharris91]

(awkward) Wow, umm yea... that post... is kinda... outta place...(/awkward)

[Half a Hundred]

I think mercury's symbol is the best, since "hydrargyrum" is Greek (made Latinish, of course) for "silver water" which is a pretty good description of mercury. Except that it's not as valuable. And will drive you insane.
