Check How Intelligent You Really AreThis is a serious, honest-to-goodness self-administered intelligence test. There are only 10 questions and you are expected to answer them all in 5 minutes. DO NOT look at the answers ahead of time—that would be cheating and it would defeat the purpose of finding out how intelligent you really are. And be sure to write each of your answers down; it makes a big difference in measuring your intelligence.NOW THE QUESTIONS:1. Some months have 30 days, some months have 31 days. How many months have 28 days?

3. I went to bed at eight o’clock in the evening and wound up my clock and set the alarm to sound at nine o'clock in the morning. How many hours sleep would I get before being woken by the alarm?
4. Divide 30 by half and add ten. What do you get?
5. A farmer had 17 sheep. All but 9 died. How many live sheep were left?
