self-referential aptitude test (with a unique solution)
  • My brain just filed for divorce from my body. [this is good] I may have to return to it when I have a few hours days free.
  • Perfect for a Friday before a long weekend...
  • *head explodes*
  • wow.
  • I agree with:  flashboy  BearGuy  Jerry Garcia  swive  All of the above
  • AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH They should put this on the LSAT.
  • Ok first person to sllve this is my hero.
  • Hmmm can't even type that hurt my brain so much.
  • From the FAQ: q: what's this about? a: pageviews. q: how can I contribute? a: click. I've been had.
  • Brain...hurts...
  • That was totally awesome. Also, I am your hero: (Swap puctuation for letters, in an alphanumeric sort of way, to get the solution.) $!$@ %$$% $!@! $@!$ @!@%
  • Only one of those characters looks remotely like one of the five letters. What ! or $ or % are supposed to be, I'm not sure.
  • Please, please, please tell me WTF it means.
  • I'm still getting a few wrong jsor - though so close. (plus with my brit keyboard, it took a bit to decipher).
  • whoo! got it (helped very much by jsor, thank you). 9 - 12 is $%@! I think?
  • Sorry about the US-keyboard centricity. I should have thought about that. For the British (I think): $!$" %$$% $!"! $"!$ "!"% I think you are wrong about 9 - 12, ilyadeux. Judging from the whoo!, though, it seems like a transcription error, or misreading, since you must have had the correct answer in the quiz.
  • I'm still no closer to understanding what $ and % are supposed to be.
  • Got a shift key there, mct? Don't use it. (Guessing.)
  • Never mind. Figgerditout.
  • Hooray! I solved it! oh, someone's handing out the answer already. Oh well.
  • jsor's solution works fine. Awesome.
  • I concur, got the same answer as jsor... for those still scratching their heads: !=1=a @=2=b #=3=c $=4=d %=5=e (numbers are not important, but included so that the non-US keyboarders can stop wondering what the hell we're talking about)
  • Oy. I think more than a couple brain cells died.
  • Hehe, this drunkman is a good friend of mine. Unfortunately I emigrated and now I only see him once a year... [brag] But I do have a drunkmanworkhere zero content T-shirt. One of the 6 or so in existance. Aren't you all jealous now? [/brag]
  • Aw, crappity crap crap. I started the puzzle, did something else for a while, and now I just get a blank screen when I click the link. What gives? Is it all just a plan to make me lose my marbles?
  • All the puzzle seem to be "down" over there.
  • i think the punchline/point is in the last question: 20. Standardized test is to intelligence as barometer is to: Atemperature (only) Bwind-velocity (only) Clatitude (only) Dlongitude (only) Eall of the above barometer measures atmospheric pressure, not any of A-D, so the answer would be E, implying that standardized tests have no relation to intelligence and there you have it.
  • I always try to maintain a healthy Clatitude and Bwind-velocity, myself. Yes, #20 was the one self-obvious answer.
