Hmm... This seems like a good test for British geniuses. I think I've got 26, but I'm thinking this test might not be fair for Americans. I could be wrong.

Sirona...I know exactly what all of those are....rap lyics silly!!!

22 almost positives; 3 dead wrongs (after seeing Farkel's answers); 5 "bizarre wild guesses"; and 3 "I have no earthly idea - I give up."

I'm speechless that I got two that Farkel didn't, as I thought he was most certainly the inhouse genius!

10. 5 T on a F
Five Toes on a Foot

26. 9 L of a C
9 Lives of a Cat

(and #6 should be "jokers" rather than "jacks" - probably a typo?)

I gotta question though: For #29, can it be "checker board" instead of, or as well as, chess board? (If not, I'll have to amend my totals).

FWIW, I was totally stumped on the three blind mice and the dead man's chest, which cracked me up (it's been way toooo long since the days of nursery rhymes), nor would I have ever guessed the players in a football team.

Some of my totally off-the-wall "wild guesses" (which I am counting as "wrong"):

14. 15 P in a RT
15 P_____ in a Right Triangle-??

16. 100 C in a R
100 Cents in a Roll-??
100 Centimeters in a ____-??

19. 13=UFS
13=United First States-??

20. 8 T on a O
8 Tips on an Octagon-??

30. 9 P in SA
9 Picas/Pieces/Parallels in a ______-??
Farkel's sounds good: 9 planets in Solar (Axis?)
9 Pirates in South America, for all I know...

And I have no earthly idea -- I give up:
24. 13 L in a BD (Farkel's Baker's Dozen sounds really good - liters?)
28. 23 P of C in the HB (23 Ports of Call in the _____)
31. 6 B to an O in C

So, rem, are you gonna help us out or do we have to wonder all the way til Monday? Sirona? Overall, quite fun! Like playing Jeopardy with yourself. Thanks for sharing it.

rem

Farkel

: 15 P in a RT = 15 Players in a Rugby Team

Now how in the heck is yer average 'Merkin going to ever get that one?

Here's a dub one (couldn't resist):

11 BM on the GB (SHTR)

Farkel

Thanks rem!! What a RELIEF to see some of your answers which I am sure are correct -- they make so much SENSE when they are seen in black & white... Duh!

14. 15 P in a RT = 15 Players in a Rugby Team (I never would have guessed in a million years...)
20. 8 T on a O = 8 Tentacles on an Octopus (hey, that sounds good to me!)
24. 13 L in a BD = 13 Loaves in a Baker's Dozen - Of Course! LOAVES!!!! (I don't cook either...)
28. 23 P of C in the HB = 23 Prophecies of Christ in the Hebrew Bible (?) - LOL! Good try, rem! I doubt the Mensa Society of Geniuses refers to the OT as the Hebrew Bible as we former dubs do... (I could be WRONG, though). Also, I was thinking there were more prophecies about Jesus than 23 (I could be wrong about that, too). However, your creative effort made me chuckle! (As did Farkel's "9 Layers of a Cake"!)

Anybody else out there taking a shot at these "stumpers"?
19. 13=UFS
30. 9 P in SA
31. 6 B to an O in C

Edited to add: PS: C.K.T.C. but S.B.H.B.

Farkel,

Yeah, I think this is a British test. The only reason I got the rugby one is because my room mate is a football (soccer) fanatic so I figured out the soccer one. Then I figured there might be other similar questions with European sports themes.

I'm wondering if some of the other ones we couldn't get were English weights and measures and stuff like Francois said.
