We're not dumb mate. Some of the smartest people in the world are Kiwis.
However, not having the highest IQ doesn't mean that you'll not be successful. There's nothing like good, honest, hard yakka to reach your goals!

Hence I conclude that Tim Scrivens is the smartest man in RSRU!

I'd have to agree. Some of Bobs' posts are very colourful and only true genius could achieve this.

8/10 ... and I think the reasoning behind at least one answer is bollocks.
"Birds of a feather flock together" implies similars attract. "Friends will be friends" does not require any attractive force, but just posits that it's the way it's always been - "every Jack will find his Jill" is a little specific to relationships for a perfect fit but is a better mechnanica description. Completely different reasoning. Honest :-)

> Memory 8/10
10/10

> Reasoning 9/10
10/10

> Spatial 9/10
10/10

> Arithmetic 10/10
10/10

p.s. don't bother adding up the digits - the questions are poorly set, so it's enough to just add up the last digits for 2 through 5.

> That's a score of 45/50. I guessed a couple in the memory test.

The last of the memory tests was the only one I need to guess - and some of those guesses come down to which one you subconciously remember anyway.

I can never get over just how bad those tests are ... they rely on far too much non-"intelligence" information; the spatial stuff explicitly tells you that you need to know physics!
