I know I shouldn't reveal this, but I am on the admissions committee for the uber class, and the extra secret one that's above it such that I cannot mention its name, and probably shouldn't mention its existence.... If you wish to be considered for candidacy, we have a secure and non-googleable web site I will invite you to to start the process. Hit me off line. Good luck! -- John McWilliams

One needs 132 or better to qualify for Mensa, the highest IQ ever recorded was 230, so if you think you beat the Mensa standard by more than 100 points you should _not_ mention your IQ to therapists lest they decide you're delusional and have you locked up.
