I got a 120 on it. I thought I would be able to compete with you guys. Wow I am belittled by people from all around the nation. That would make a good twilight zone epoisde. Me being surrounded by idiots, but not being smart enough to escape. So I remain with the idiots for all eternity knowing that if I had just known what the stupid pattern was in the candy problem, I would have escaped.

i did the mensa IQ test a few weeks ago, and that said that I had an IQ of 143. (I don't qualify for mensa, 148 is needed) but anyway, I am still happy with that

I just did the ultimate and got a 139... (it's 1 am... c'mon...) But... I guessed two on the polyhedrons (Too lazy to do them) and also didn't answer one language question (Because my native language is not english)
I guess that would leave me around 145... not a big thing, oh well, I'll just stick to physics and math

What is the minimum IQ required to be able to join? I remember I did the test and then was able to join, but to receive the full benefits you had to pay.

Wow, brutal. That test for exceptional people is really hard, lol. I just took it and got 117 IQ :S Is that good or bad for being aged 17, or does age not matter in these kinds of tests?

It means you got 3 or 4 right. If you get none correct, you end up with a 100. If you get one correct, you end up with a 105. Really, it's not bad.

I haven't had time to take the online tests yet. Since I was actually tested at my school's request and know my actual IQ, I could tell how accurate they are. Of course I was tested when I was only 11, and I'm sure my IQ has declined since then (that's common when a young child has an exceptionally high score). Not to mention being unconscious for three days in a hospital when I was 14 due to high fever from mono, it went off the scale.Highlander said:Once the brain has stopped developing, which is generally at pretty early stage in life, I don't think age matters but then some experiences in life might count to a certain extend.

The doctor told my parents the good news "she appears to have no brain damage from the fever" I was never as brilliant since. 
Age 14 was my peak, I finished High School that year.- #79

I did the first seven from the "ultimate" test and quickly filled in the rest at random since I really need to go to sleep and got a 99. I'll do a complete run when not half asleep.

100$ reward for Q7 or Q8
100$ reward to first person who send me answer for question 7 or 8 from HASELBAUER - DICKHEISER test for exceptional intelligence.
Answer and strong hint on full solution will be sufficient. After confirmation I’ll get back to you for details of money transfer. After you receive money I’ll expect full solution.
If you don’t care about 200$ I can offer answers 2-3 questions from this test except (5, 12, 14).
Depends on which questions you ask. (I can’t promise that all of them have perfect solutions.)
I promise never to publish any part of solutions anywhere.
I promise not to reveal any part of identity of the winner or any person with right solution.
Public discussion of questions will be ignored.
Lame excuses “I have answer, but I not going to send you because … ” will be ignored.
Tricks - “send me first, I’ll send you later” will be ignored.
Serg.
This text I posted here on 11-10-2005. I intended to wait for 30 days. So today is 11-30-2005 and if you have something to prove you have 10 days.

Yeah #1 is pretty tough. I think I hit a breakthrough, though I won't divulge it because I'm not 100% sure that I'm actually getting closer to the answer.
I want to do them in order; how hard are the other ones?
