aw shucks...I was hoping for questions more like: "You felt hot in a small insulated storage room and saw a working refrigerator by the wall. You had a McGuyver moment and decided to open the refrigerator door to cool the room. Would this work? Why? "
no love for the ChemE :D

Better then 91.72% (Why ain't I rich?:confused:) But I doodled and googled my tuckas off!
Embassassed that I missed #8, while looking at a map. Very curious about the Price is Right question's answer, though.
8 correct plus 3 good guesses

That's solo. However, I feel things like this are properly team events. Let's see...sit the 18A at the desk with a mechanical pencil and big eraser...add the medic (except the Jr, he's weird)...carry the Bravo...send the 180 off to do whatever they do...shit, the Charlie has broken something again...Fox overlays the quiz on the map to Soi Cowboy (cherry Fox, we don't need no stinkin map)...Echo contacts his other Echo buddy who's team already took the quiz...all company Zulus meet to agree the plan to ditch the Alphas (stuck taking the quiz) has worked perfectly.
Very curious about the Price is Right question's answer, though.
Didn't make sense to me either, guess we both should avoid Vegas. At least for gambling;)
Two video explanations. First (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXqDIFUB7YU&feature=related) from the movie 21, second (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhlc7peGlGg&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eimpossible%2Dquiz%2Ecom%2F explanation%2Easp%3Fqid%3D11%26ya%3D1%257C2%257C3% 257C3%257C2%257C1%257C3%257C3%257C1%257C2%257C3%25 7C4%257C2%257C4%257C1%257C2%257C4%257C1&feature=player_embedded#t=100) a little more detailed explanation.

16/20 Although my research tells me that I am NOT smarter than 92.09% of the population. I guess I need someone from that 7.98% to explain the Let's Make a Deal logic:o.

Fox overlays the quiz on the map to Soi Cowboy (cherry Fox, we don't need no stinkin map)...
Classic! But these days you can just take the BTS. Even a leg LT could find it from the Asok station....
(Thanks and credit to the board member who gave me my initial Bangkok area study. I won't call him out, he knows who he is.)
14 / 20, with no cheating.

15/20
Did the whole thing in my head, no googling/no paper or pencil.
Refused to guess.
Got 16 of them (I thought) with surety, but made a dumb arithmetic error on the length/averaging one (snoofs, snarfs, or whatever).
Set up the problem right, but was unable to proof-read my arithmetic.
Definitely whipping out the paper/pencil next time.
Other misses:
-No clue on the phobia vocabulary one.
-Couldn't crack the vowel-pattern one (those verbal-oriented ones often get me).
-Narrowed down the European geography one to 2 choices. Couldn't picture the map in my head.
-No clue on the last one.
Math/logic stuff wasn't a problem.
Verbal/vocabulary/memory stuff are lacking. Definitely becoming too dependent on technology for those areas.

Did the whole thing in my head, no googling/no paper or pencil.
Refused to guess.
Most of my guesses were by elimination.
Did mine in my head as well.. to lazy to get up to find paper.. pen is stuck under the boat pillow next to me
-No clue on the last one.
Since the quesition was obviously hidden. I looked at the 4 words.
For no particular reason I decided that fartburgalur looked like a good word to pick.
So I did. LOL...
Good thing I did not do this test today. My blond side has taken over and my red head side is out to lunch.. am rather distracted today. No idea why.:D:D

Had a WTF moment at first, but as soon as you highlight the area..presto! The question is there :cool: :D
I thought that was rather a low blow

My WTF moment did not lead me to the highlighting the text. That is some quick thinking by those of you who did:lifter. At that point I just guessed Furbelow as it was the only one on the list I could place as a real word. Back to the vocab lessons I guess.
10/20 with no cheating. I was feeling pretty smart too. :D
The antepenultimate one really screwed me up. I was so positive that it was Berlin that didn't border a Mediterranean country!
