    I've done this before, so I feel like I'd be cheating.... :)

    But I do have 19 so far.... :D

    Make sure you check your SPELLING.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Spelling is VERY important. Misspelled a couple and got them wrong. :mad:

    ...very entertaining, though.

    Punctuation AND spelling will get you a couple more. I'm at 16 and working on the rest. Apostrophes are important.

    I've got 21 of them now, and number 13 is killing me. It's very obvious what it is and there's no way I've mispelled or omitted punctuation

    The only words I know in German that start with "F" are Frankenstein and Farfegnuggen. You got a German dictionary over there or what Norm?

    FAHRENHEIT :)

    Got 21 in a half hour, though.

    Entertaining, anyway.
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    My favorite German F word is Flugelhorn.

    I love the sound of a good flugelhorn on my setup.

    I know how to spell Fahrenheit, and that's exactly how I used it. Be kind of tough to mispell any of the other words in that one. It just won't turn green.

    I just got up to 23 by luck. It appears that if you don't start your answer in the very first slot of the answer box it doesn't give you credit.

    Make that 24. That's what was wrong with my "Fahrenheit" answer too!

    Let's start a thread and make up our own.

    76 T in T B P
    4 H of T A
    2 T D
    3 F H
    4 C B

    Make that 25, just got # 5.

    No reason to make up your own Mr Grand, there are three other tests there for you to do when you're done :)

    I don't want to mess with my "genius" rating on this test. I'm afraid if the 4 scores get averaged out I'll be back to dunderhead status. If I'm so smart, why do I do so many dumb things in the course of a day?

    You must have a dumb version of Word. My Office 2003 version says "millenium" needs to be fixed.

    Indeed they were. I got about 18 or 19 by myself, 24 or 25 working with a friend, then I got the rest when I googled and found the cheat sheet.
