Insulting your intelligence

25 January 2024

Grand time had by all (I hope) last night in the Elm Tree. Three-way tie for 1st, 2nd and 3rd on 32 points, with others close behind.

Round 3 does not translate well to the online version. Donald Trump places reliance upon a test he took in 2018 as evidence that he is compos mentis. The test in question is the Montreal Cognitive Assessment used by medics to ascertain mental faculty and early signs of dementia. Round 3 is an adaptation of the sort of questions included in that test. Teams last night were given sealed envelopes containing the questions and under strict exam conditions given only 5 minutes to answer.  I readily acknowledged that they may well consider that the round insulted their intelligence. Just like Donald Trump.

Cheers
