Indeed.

Read some more and you may find his probable IQ :-)

FWIW - I just did the Mensa workout.
They say I got 25/30. On looking I find only 4 I know I got 'wrong'.
Shows a lack of IQ not being able to remember what the 5th was :-)

I missed #1 "Sally likes"
Annoyingly obvious in retrospect.

I got not the scrambled word
    HCPRAATEU

Nor the other arrangement of
    INSATIABLE

I got #30 wrong - I find such arguments about patterns questionable.
Some other questions also had doubtful ambiguous answers (even though 
I got them right).
I dislike ambiguous questions where you are at the whim of the asker.

I got 7 right for the wrong reason - my rule was sound and worked but 
wasn't their rule. They related but were not identical and just 
happened to coincide.

Similar with 21. Too much ambiguity.

I got 25 correct and my rule was correct but more complex than their 
rule - mine was a superset of theirs.

As I said - I don't like this sort of test.

I'd guess from their comment "very strong chance of passing the Mensa 
test" that they rate that 120+ but I really wanted a numeric estimate 
(be it ever so meaningless ;-) ).
