I think decompiling Source maps is a lot easier.

Anyway, competitions are decided by previous winners, so the way to suggest subjects are to the previous winners themselves. I therefore pronounce this thread closed.

Almost certainly. "Programmable shaders" sounds like a requirement, and I think they only really exist in DX9 hardware.

Yeah. Creatonism is ridiculous: where did God come from in the first place, eh? Yes, you can indeed say the same about the Big Bang.

But really, I don't think these tests properly gauge how "intelligent" a person really is. I mean, who knows what intelligence really is?
'Course they don't. They're pretty patterns, though.

A lot of people qualify for Mensa (MENSA?). I think it's only the top five or ten percent.
Well thats easy to work out, think back to pythagorean theorem a2 + b2 = c2, and so this equation requires 6(2) + 8(2) = 100 * 2 = 200 which is the distance between them
What? It was, from memory, (16^2 + 12^2)^0.5.

Yeah, otherwise you'll get a MIXED CONTENTS error. I think you can get away with NULL-texturing some sides, though; I'm pretty sure I've done that in the past where water brushes have met causing an ugly seam underwater.

Try this one? It's hardly a fair comparison to do different ones. Of course, you're not allowed to look up anything, and you can't spend more than about five minutes on a question, so no spending a week working it out, that defeats the point :).

Good, Bratty. I think it's highly alarming that schools here in England are allowed to teach creatonism over science ? whilst funded by the state. Hey, I know, why don't we start burning women with ginger hair and loot and pillage neighboring villages? Great how society is progressing.</smallvagueofftopicrant>

Feeling brave? Take the Classic IQ Test. You just enter any ol' details when it asks you to register, it'll show you your scores without e-mailing or anything, just click the wide blue "Test scores" button at the top of the page after you've "registered".

Wonder if we can get any fun country averages or anything? I personally was a bit bemused by the question about the letter. I got 3 more than the friend who sent me it: 136. 'Luck. Think carefully :).

Sari, if your graphics card doesn't support the shaders, then it would just be utterly impossible. Some modern CPU extensions would probably be a requirement too.

I can't see how it could work that simply, Elon, because then surely it wouldn't be unusable if you pushed the barrel further.
