Stupid Quizzes

[fitfool]

It's way past my bedtime but I'm still awake. Jet-lagged? Perhaps. But I blame _53 for linking to these quizzes (http://users.livejournal.com/_53/122869.html) that have me combing my memory banks, waiting for something to match up.

There are two tests.

Part 1 is filled with all kinds of cultural bias. http://intelligence-test.net/part1/
#31 involves cricket so you can get the answer to that one from _53's post if you want.

Part 2 says they removed the cultural biases. It's shorter but harder. http://intelligence-test.net/part2/

I've gotten 27 of 33 on Part 1 but only 10 of 24 on part 2. I would cave and look up the answers in the FAQ so I could go to sleep but I can't figure out where the FAQ is.


If they're in italics, then I hadn't gotten the answer myself
