    I take it you're not good at silly little puzzles then? :)

    I think just about everyone in this trade is good at silly puzzles. The thing is that if you do a lot of them for a week, you can do them better, and, according to idiots like the mensa bunch, that means that you're more intelligent at the end of the week than you were at the beginning.

      How can the smartest person alive be 'Alive or Dead'? I am striking you off the list.

        And you disagree with this why? The fact that you're doing them better should imply that you're learning to do something faster and more efficiently, which means that you should becoming more intelligent in this (puzzles) aspect. Now if they were to give you a slightly different test and you can't use what you've learned from this to solve that, then I agree, you haven't learned much. But tests have been and will always be subjective. Just because you test well doesn't mean you're smart, and just because you test poorly doesn't make you an idiot. However, tests should give us an idea of where a person lies and what they're good at.

          I was going to nominate both of us for that honor. After all, you know everything there is to know except that you're an idiot, and I know that. ;P

          True, but are you as humble as I?

            Hmmm... Doubtful. I was once accused of being arrogant, but arrogance is a fault, and I haven't any.

                He was missing his legs...?

                It's an OO world.

                public class Naerling : Lazy<Person>{
                public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); }
                }

                  It's just a shame that you spelled his name wrong. After all, it's not as though it was on the screen in front of you.

                  I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

                      Well, that's one way of looking at it from a positive angle ;)

                        Nothing in life is sined and sealed. Besides, as a cosine function I can make something out of nothing.
