Last year I ended up with an IQ of 84.

So oddly enough, I won't be repeating it this time around ...

The thing is nowadays you don't have to read newspapers - you can pick snippets up via office gossip or by internet

gobstopper Eventually, I'll think of something witty to put here ;-)

I'm feeling pretty chuffed with myself. I thought that I had done reasonable well and was expecting something in the 75-80% bracket.

I did the test on interactive TV and was stunned when I discovered that I had got 63/70
