| Why does everyone keep capitalizing Mensa? It's not an acronym, people. |

And if you want a cool MENSA member story, then here is one:
I knew a guy (indirectly) who was a lawyer and a memeber of MENSA. Well, one day he decided to murder the wife of one of his clients (I am not sure why). Anyway, he decided to abduct her (so the client falsly reported her missing) and then the lawyer and client together killed her by poisoning. Then in order to dispose of the body, the lawyer and client (neither of whom are pilots) decided to drop it into a lake, out of a chartered plane. Though the pilot (who was enclosed in the cockpit) did not see them drop the body, he found something peculiar about the fact that when the plane landed, the "sleeping" passenger was no longer present. The lawer and client then both went to jail for murder. This is a true story, but I left some stuff out of the middle just because I don't feel like typing it all out.[/i] |
How about the guy who poisoned his neighbor then wrote a dinner murder-mystery about a guy who poisons his neighbor that had details about the murder he commited that only the murderer would know, then he invites all his MENSA friends over to act it out. First off what a dumbass, second how gay is that shit, a bunch of nerds sitting around having a dinner murder-mystery game.
MENSA is all about Logic and Book smarts. Many members lack common sense, mechanical knowledge, and above all social skills. |

The missing dollar riddle: Three men paid $10 each for a hotel, a total of $30. After they left, the clerk gave them a $5 discount, and asked the bellhop to give them the $5. The Bellhop figured they wouldn't be able to divide it evenly, so instead he lied and gave them each $1, and kept the remaining $2 for himself.
That means the men now each paid $9 for the hotel. 9 + 9 + 9 plus the $2 the bellhop kept = $29. Where's the missing dollar?
The answer (from your friendly neighborhood rocket science student, Lackeos): Re-evaluate what you're adding. You're not trying to make 9 + 9 + 9 + 2 add up to 30, that doesn't make sense. The men paid 9 + 9 + 9 = $27. The hotel kept $25, the bellhop kept $2. 27 = 27, now that's equity. |

Also, it's not much of a brain teaser as it is a tricking riddle. Smarts have little-to-nothing to do with it.
Basically, the guys give the hotel $30.
The Hotel gives the hop $5 (leaving the hotel $25).
The hop gives the men $3, leaving him $2.
At this moment, the hotel has $25, the men have $3, and the hop has $2. This equals $30. |

most people don't know this, but every riddle is meant to trick you with some form of play on words or misguiding lead.
<b>"There are three words in the English language that end in -GRY. Two are HUNGRY and ANGRY. The third one everyone uses every day and knows what it stands for. If you listened carefully, I already told you what the word is. What is the third word?"
The answer: language</b>
But I found a really good riddle. Try and see if you can figure it out without cheating.
There are 5 houses in 5 different colors. In each house lives a
person with a different nationality. The owners drink a certain
type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a
certain pet. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand
of cigar, or drink the same beverage.
The question is: Who owns the fish?
HINTS:
The brit lives in the red house
The Swede keeps dogs as pets
The Dane drinks tea
The green house is on the left of the white house
The green homeowner drinks coffee
The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill
The man living in the center house drinks milk
The Norwegian lives in the first house
The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats
The man who keeps the horse lives next to the man who smokes
Dunhill
The owner who smokes Bluemaster drinks beer
The German smokes Prince
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house
The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water
Albert Einstein said only two percent of the
world could solve this riddle. |
