(I can&amp;#x27;t speak to their actual tests.) I recall a Mensa book in my elementary school library proclaiming that if you could solve even one puzzle in the book, you were smart enough to join Mensa! I believe it was officially from Mensa, but it&amp;#x27;s been a while and I may not remember correctly.&lt;p&gt;I passed. I could solve many of them.&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Oh, jerf, bragging about how you could join Mensa is like the canonical example of boorishness.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes, well, just about everyone I handed the book to &amp;quot;passed&amp;quot; as well, so... let&amp;#x27;s just say this isn&amp;#x27;t the strutbrag it may initially sound like. I did not attend school at Lake Wobegon where all the children were above average. It was an average school of average children. Either by an amazing coincidence we were all smart enough to join Mensa even so, or Mensa was sandbagging just a wee bit. You do the math, as the saying goes.</text><parent_chain><item><author>spywaregorilla</author><text>Got bored by question 9.
