>>14>iq(mentifex, 196).
I never realized he was such a genius.
He's not. His IQ before senility set in was (oh gee, how do you do the math for a range?) 145-149, somewhere in there. Do you write 145> IQ <149? When Dementifex arrived at the 101st Ordnance Battallion for his two-year duty station in Germany, the clerk signing him in said, "Now we gotta call up so-and-so out in the boonies and tell him he no longer has the highest GT score [General Technical] in the battalion. Up on the wall was a gigantic poster of Vladimir Lenin, and Mentishmoo with his 149 GT score translated for the battalion clerks the Russian slogan about Lenin: САМЫЙ ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСКИЙ ЧЕЛОВЕК -- "A Most Humane Human".
But Mentislack had made a careful study of how to do well on tests, so as to score higher than warranted. One time in a history test there was a question, "In what year did such-and-such take place?"
Mentif*x did not know the answer, so he just wrote "yes". The history teacher, Mr. Donald Zech, was so upset by the cheeky answer that he announced it to the whole class with an exasperated shaking of his head.
