I got 21, but I'm not that smart. I remember this game from when I was a kid. I'm sure some of the answers were still stored in my memory somewhere.
EDIT: Here's another one to try:
- 36 BK on a P

ya got me... I had to go to the Mensa website & take their test, out of curiosity:
//www.mensa.org/index0.php?page=12
After about 25 minutes, I was interrupted & just submitted what had been completed. Response? "Your score was 21 out of 30. That is a very good score—you would have a good chance of passing the Mensa test."
That does it - I'm asking for a RAISE!
;)

Woohoo... not spending more than 10 seconds on each one I'm "somewhat intelligent"... and here I thought I was just average. Maybe later I can spend more time on it and become "intelligent".
Poo on you that posted answers... had to turn a blind eye.

Haven't done one of those for years, and did much better than I thought I would - 24, with 2 blanks (words) and 4 wrong (all number ones). Reminds me of the 11+, which will only mean something to those English over the age of 40! |

Solved the following:
1.2.3.4.6.7.8.10.11.13.15.18.20.21.22.23.25.26.27.32.33.
I must be a genius!
