Rawr!

And yes, I know I should be doing the A+ course, but I just really can’t be bothered with it at the moment, meh.

Not that I'm planning on taking it again, as I am more than happy with my scores of 134 on the Cattell III B and 124 on the Culture Fair, although I do blame you scoring better than me on the Cattell test on the killer headache I had during the exam. :P I must say, it puzzles me you putting so much effort into something that you can’t do that well, (C++/audio encoding) and ignoring something like the A+ Exams which you could, with a little reading, do quite easily I imagine. :P The thing about the Mensa test I don’t understand is why, if we should choose, we have to wait a whole year before we can take it again.
