- I have nothing to do with this except that I had fun solving the
- questions. Daryl Inman has also put together "The Quest Test"
- ("The World's Hardest Analogies Test") which will be appearing
- in the December issue of _Omni_. It's longer and also significantly
- more difficult than the CAT or the verbal portion of the Mega Test;
- I scored 26/26 on the CAT and 22/24 on the Mega Test analogies but
- I'm having a hard time getting above 65% on the Quest Test.

- The Crypto-Analogies Test
-
- Daryl Inman

-
- Here is a test which can be solved one of two ways: either one can
- solve the analogies out right or solve the scrambled answers and then
- fit them to the appropriate analogies. I call it the Crypto-Analogies
- Test. I will score each person's responses for $5.00 and provide the
- answers. Please send a SASE.
-
- Write the word that best completes each analogy. For example, in the
- analogy AMERICAN: (is to) ASTRONAUT:: (as) RUSSIAN: (is to) ?, the
- best answer would be COSMONAUT.
