Could you post a link to somewhere other than the physics forums? I know many of us can't actually see attachment files on the site for whatever reason...

Yea, I can't see the attachment files either-- it's only seems to be in the brainteasers forum though... strange!

It's to preserve bandwidth issues I suspect. Otherwise, everyone would bog down the server if there were tons of attachments being viewed from physicsforums. I believe those who sponsor the forums have those priveleges.

I always presumed it was more of a censorship/monitoring issue - ensuring nothing nasty was attached. Never followed through on the logic of that though.

It seems a bit strange that only one subforum has the attachments only viewable to PF contributors though.

All attachments must be approved, but before they have been approved , the attachment says "attachment pending approval" and doesn't provide a clickable link.

I think I'll ask about this in the feedback forum, since I thought I was just me that this happened to!

The questions and diagrams in the PDF from that link are ridiculous!

Are you guys good at answering this stuff? I don't even know where to start with half of these.

The Haselbauer-Dickheiser test was designed to test intelligence in the range of 180 and greater.

I wonder of there's a timeline for the test. I might be able to get a few of them with enough time.
