Online IQ Test

Which of these is not like the others?

Apple
Lime
Orange
Tomato


Well, let's see. The apple is the only fruit with a core, the tomato is the only berry, the lime is the only fruit that's not roughly spherical, the orange is the only fruit without any green on it (no leaves attatched) in the picture. The tomato is the only fruit that is typically used as a vegetable, and it is also the only one that is made of a primary color (the apple is green). The lime is the only fruit without a visible shine, and the only one with a monosyllabic name. The tomato lacks an "e" in its name. I could go on, but I'm bored now.

The whole test is most fucked up. My mom got a Mensa puzzle book once, and I spent a good part of a day noting all the places where, really, their answer was wrong/incomplete because there was more than one right answer to the question. That was fun, if a bit disheartening. Do only conformists join Mensa?

Could be worse. You could be stuck with a whole group of them.... FOREVER!

And not the one you're in love with.

LOL Well, he'd like that, he thinks that after he moves here, I should join Mensa so we should build our mutual real-life social group entirely from the local meetings.

What do people *do* in Mensa meetings anyway?

From what little I've been able to figure out, it sounds like they sit around having regurgitate-the-memeorized-information competitions. Sometimes they'll verbally re-enact historical discussions from memory, each person taking on a specific memorized role.

I'd rather watch grass grow. At least that's interesting.

Actually, it is, just so long as it's not in real time.

Eat pies as far as I can tell.
