Here's an IQ test for you

[IDIOCRACY]

Okay, technically not an IQ test but it does measure your critical thought, which has to be awfully close to IQ one would think. Speak of thinking, I think it's alarming how mental skills have declined so much. I still remember when even kids understood strategy and applied critical thought like it was innate. Now I don't know, I guess that's what happens when tech. brings us "smart" phones to tell us what to do, and it shows.

Correct answers to be given sometime after folks have participated. Don't be frightened liberals (cough), this is not a trick.

The Game is called UNO. There are four colors (blue, yellow, green, red). The Wild and Wild Draw-4 cards are black, and when these are played the player calls whatever color they like. For this exercise the game is two against two. Partners sit across from each other at the table, and partners can see each other’s cards. Card games go around in circles by the way, if you’ve never played one perhaps you’re Somalian☺.

The player who lays their last card down wins the game for their team. There is just one game.

Your card played must follow the last play card's Color or its Number, or be a Wild card, or a Wild Draw-4 card. If a player doesn’t lay down a card they must draw one from the deck - The drawn card can be laid down if it qualifies. You do not have to lay down a card. In case you’re Somalian☺, the cards drawn from the deck are upset down, so you only see them after you or your partner has drawn them.

Players start with seven cards each. The deck is 112 cards. There are two of each number 0-9 for each color (80); two of each Action card type for each color (24); four Wild cards, and four Wild Draw-4 cards (8). Do not consider “counting cards”, that’s hardly relevant to the game, and it’s not relevant for this exercise.

· The Action type cards are:
Draw-2 – the opponent draws two cards from deck, and loses their turn, giving your partner the next play.
Reverse - the game circles into the other direction. In other terms, opponent A gets the next play instead of opponent B.
Skip - skips the opponent giving your partner the next play.

· You can play a Wild card or a Wild Draw-4 card anytime; the player chooses the color.

· The Wild Draw-4 card tags the opponent with four cards from the deck and gives their partner the next play. However, the opponent can challenge when the Wild Draw-4 is played.

· If Wild Draw-4 is challenged, and the player holds a card that’s the same color as the last card played, then the player takes the four cards instead, and the challenger gets to take their turn too. If the challenge is unsuccessful however, then the challenger takes six cards instead of four, and loses their turn.

Credits are deducted for cards left in the losing team’s hands. The credit values are given to the winning team. The values for cards left in the losing team’s hands are:
· Number cards are their face values
· Action cards (Draw-2, Reverse & Skip) are 20 points each
· The Wild and Wild Draw-4 cards are 50 points each

Credits buy into games. The game gives you 400 points to start, for free. It’s 100 points to buy into a game.

That’s the game. Understand that you’re ready for your test. You can always read it again, and if you still don’t understand then your IQ hovers below 100, so there’s your answer☺ Likewise, testing without knowing the game will provide like results, you’re under 100 like all your peeps, your siblings, and your children.

DO NOT MAKE ASSUMPTIONS. There are no What-Ifs. The scenarios stand on their own. But do assume all scenarios are in a different game, and it’s always your turn. Read the scenarios carefully. If you don’t get it, then your mother’s IQ is below 100 as well.

You got 20 minutes to answer 23 questions. If you can’t swing that you can post your admission, and if so, while your IQ might be hovering 100, you’ll be noted for your bravery and honesty, which is a nice place to be. Even a “genius” can be a dick.

Just bold or highlight your answers, or respond with 23 numbers and letters.

Sounds like a variation on Crazy Eights

I used to know how to play that. Been a while. Uno is kind of fun. Online has two on two so more "strategery" involved, but today most folks can't see past their next play
