No, that would be incorrect. Look at it carefully, kindergarteners got this correct.

Re: The Test of Genius!

1. If there are 5 apples, and you take 3, how many do you have?
(If you answer correctly you are an average genius.) I've had to answer this one a million times. You take 3 so you have 2.

2. What were the canary islands named after?
(If you answer correctly you are a genius) I don't feel like looking up the answer then remember it for the rest of my life, but my guess is that they were named after something named "Canary" or canaries themselves.

3. A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?
(If you answer correctly you are a super genius) "You are going to say my statement is false."

4.Why wasn't Bertha put in jail after killing dozens of people?
(If you are answer correctly you are a rocket scientist) Bertha was shot by a crazy man immediately after and so she was dead.

5.What do these word have in common?
Banana
Dresser
Grammar
Potato
Revive
Uneven
Assess
(If you answer correctly you are a mastermind) All of them have vowels in them.

6. I turn polar bears white
and I will make you cry.
I make guys have to pee
and girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid
and normal people look like celebrities.
I turn pancakes brown
and make your champane bubble.
If you sqeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.
Can you guess the riddle?
(If you answer you are a junior einstein) Hmm... Tricky... AHA! NATURE!

4.Don't know, did she accidentally kill people in a place, which also killed her?

5.All of them if you take away the first letter are palindromes

Re: The Test of Genius!

Hmm, took me a while, but I think I have some answers..

1, 3
2, A dog
3, You are going to put me in prison for 6 years  smile  (That took me way to long to figure out, but then I saw the Judges contradiction xD)
4, I can only guess this was Hurricane Bertha? If not, I have no idea...
5, Single letter before a palindrome  smile  Such as, ananaB
6, No (I only knew the answer because I've heard this riddle before  wink  )

Edit: I have one  smile

A ball and a tennis racket cost £1.10 when purchased together.
If the tennis rackets costs £1 more than the ball, how much does the ball cost?

Apparently most University students struggled with that o.O
