World's Smartest Person
Quick post. I'm doing a challenge thingy called "The World's Smartest Person Challenge". 25 Questions. Open from July 1st to October 31st. The winner gets money and a membership to the High IQ Society and bragging rights. I really enjoy brain puzzles, so I'm gonna try hard and see where I place. Check back here to see my progress from time to time! (I'll put a link in the sidebar.)
Try it here. Good luck!

Hi my friend. I'm solving the World Smartest Person Challenge test as well and I saw your comments on the questions already solved.
Allow me to doubt very serious that you solved no. 6.
It is a very tough one, one o the top 3 questions.
In my oppinion, you cannot pretend that you solved this one unless you solved before at least another 20 questions. Please take a closer look and good luck in the future.
Yours, T
Thanks for the "warning", I'll double check my answer.
I seriously doubt, though, that doing a certain number of questions will allow me to solve other questions more quickly or more efficiently. Each questions uses a different facet to solve, so I think your logic is a little off, but again, I will double-check.
Thanks (ooh, and you're mine eh? Nice.),

Also, I don't think you solved #17 Martin's Revenge. It's a very though one. You cound't just guess the answer as I assume you did with others. To answer this one you need solid knowledge in small matrix coding theory. There is a certain algorithm that is used here. Please give a list only with the ones that you solved them for sure.
Ummm, I'm going to give you this list however the hell I want to give it to you. The majority that say solved are solved, especially 17. Don't assume I guessed. I really don't know what high horse you've put yourself on when it comes to this contest, but I think it's time for you to drop.

There's no need to be angry Jam. It's very good that you've tried to solved as many as possibile. Even if some of them are wrong, is good that you gave your best to this contest. It's clear that not all can be genious, but working hard can compensate lack of ingeniosity. I hope you'll get a good score. I not, at least you've tried. Good for you.
Um, may I just say: WHAT THE HELL? Mr. (/Ms/Mrs.) T, whatever you're smoking that makes you god, you should either lay off or share with the rest of us. The questions which you have (not) solved have nothing to do with the ones Jam has or has not solved. The only reasons I can see for you to be so uppity about this whole thing are 1) you haven't solved the ones Jam has solved and you feel like you should have and 2)you have solved them and want to bask in your own intellegence. In either case, you should probably stop to think that different people have different skill sets. IE: I am extremely intellegent, but I know for a fact that any questions on this test that have to do with math or science, I would probably never be able to answer. That doesn't make me any less intellegent than you, it makes me different.
Also, where do you get off posting on someone's blog and accusing them of lying, when you have no way of knowing whether or not they're telling the truth? I could as easily decide that you're lying and haven't even looked at the test. After all, I haven't looked at, so what reason have I to believe you beat me to the punch?
Okay, that was a really long comment, and I'm sorry. I think I'll try this test thingy, if I ever get the chance...
Hi again Jam,
I come back to you because the contest is over; it's true that the results were not announced yet, but it is known that 50 out of 35.000 participants scored at least 23.
Now you can see that I was right: that were enough participants who scored very good, especially with the help of the following blogger: https://beta.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29207961&postID=5971129448933079111, which though it would be nice to chat with everybody about his answers. I was hoping that he was not too good since he was so dumb to publish the answers on the blog. I was wrong. He would have scored 11-12 alone, but with the help of other people he got pretty close to 22-23. This was a great boost for all the people out there who knew about his blog. Finally the contest was spoiled by its initiator himself, who proposed as "solution" duplicite answers, others that he didn't explain at all; he even withdrawn one question for reasons I cannot understand. Now it's the tie break phase, but it looks like they are email-ing each other to see what are the correct answers as if a community of participants was created. It's really ashame both for the organizer and the participants.
If you are wandering how I performed, well, i scored 21 (2 were incorrect, i addmit (DROP BUSH and RICHARD's Lucky Beams) 1 was incorrect but the author's logic was stupid (bitumen) and 1 was withdrawn. It was a fine experince to participate to this contest, but the satisaction was partially spoiled by the some bloggers who didn't understand the spirit of the game.
Sorry if I was too hard with you.. you were only sharing your activity and not the answers; good luck in future contests.
