Good job someone else commented on the scores, I was really miffed that
in my old age I could only get 144 out of poss. 200? But then I am a
sad competitive individual anyway

Me too - 144. But what makes you think it's out of 200? If it's meant to be
a measure of IQ (though I don't take that seriously), surely no-one has an IQ
of 200? I thought it was a nice bit of fun.

Well, Janet, I got 143, so you beat me by 1. From looking at a link on
someone else's posting in this thread, I don't think it works the way
you have posted, although I thought it did before I read the web page.
144 is apparently very high.

Oh goody! (not to beating you by 1, but to the high score, you understand.
g)

Though on one question I ticked the box only to realise as it faded
away that I had ticked the wrong one! Which probably goes to show I am
also less dextrous than I used to be as well as getting dimmer.

IIRC, one of the shapes looked to me as though it had a little curve at
the corner of one of the triangle but that was probably an optical
illusion.


I must admit, I would really like to know some time which ones I got wrong
and why. I thought some of the shapes were quite hard - and the wheelbarrows
were definitely difficult, as someone else has already said. You'd think
gardeners would get the wheelbarrows right if nothing else!
