Maybe Not I, But it T for S
Via GeekPress, check out this intelligence test that probably is not that great a measure of intelligence, but that must be a good test for something. There's no time limit. The object is to get the best possible score out of 33. I managed 31 after dazzling myself with my own brilliance on several of them and pulling a couple of them out of the clear blue sky. (I'm still working on the other two...they're driving me crazy.)
By way of a hint, I will only say that Americans are more likely to know the answers to some of these and less likely to know the answers to others. Hope that helps!
UPDATE: Got the other two thanks to help from the SpecuWife and El Jefe. Muchos gracias, amigos. They were two of the easiest ones. For some reason, the hard ones are easier than the easy ones...which are really hard!

this cost me an entire work day, thanks, phil. :) i solved all questions, but i hold that it is nearly impossible if you're not from an anglo-american culture (e.g. 3 B M). only nearly though - wikipedia to the rescue. this only proves how much we can already augment our brain power by use of communication technology - just wait for the wireless brain implants that allow you to access all those databases by just staring into nothingness for a few secs.
