Re: Intelligence quiz

I missed questions 1 & 8 and got only five on question 9. How did I do?
Oh, I got 1/2 point on question 3. I thought of rhubarb, but I have always
considered it a fruit. The dictionary describes it as in the buckwheat
family.

Neat test - makes one think of something besides pain and weather. Thanks,
chief.
