10/11 (missed the Ark question).
Apparently, intelligence is based on one's knowledge of riddles.

The ark question is kind of out of place from the rest. The rest are tricky wording, but if you sit there and think about them, it comes to you.
The Moses question isn't tricky wording, it's just using a different name from the Bible in place of Noah, which if you're not brought up christian may not be apparant to you.

I got 11/11 because I knew what they were looking for, but I do believe the correct answer to the Moses question should be 'I don't know'. I can't know with absolute certainty that there hasn't been, at some point in history, some guy named Moses who built a boat and put some animals on it.

Everest's peak is at the highest altitude in the world, but McKinley is taller when measured from its base to its peak.

Yeah, I understand that, but how could you get that question right without having known that fact or guessing? Seems like more of a trivia question than an IQ question.

11/11 on the first one, 10/11 on the second.
Missed #9, even though I guessed what the word play was I still had no idea
edit: Just went to Google and it took a direct search of the correct answer to confirm that it was correct.

A good portion of that second test is just random facts, that you either know or don't know. To me, if you're going to make these tests, they should be questions that make you think critically, not random trivia questions.
From the second test...
What four words appear on every denomination of US coins? Seriously? What does that have to do with intelligence? That's just a random fact turned into a question.
The first everest question is fine, because you have to think about it for a second, and then it comes to you. The second mountain question isn't critical thinking, though, it's again just random trivia.

I got 9/11. I think questions 8 and 10 are flawed. If I take a pill every half hour, who says I start the first pill now? How does anyone know if Moses had an ark? Those two questions are IMO BADDDD!
