Lahore – MENSA IQ test on 23rd July 2011

MENSA is organizing its test in Lahore on Saturday 23rd July at 364 E-1 LGS Johar Town.

There will be four test sessions (added if required) at the following times:
1. 9:00am to 9:30am
2. 10:00am to 10:30am
3. 10:45am to 11:15am
4. 11:30am to 12:00pm

You need to ONLY appear in one test session, whatever time suits you. Each test session will be of 30min duration which will have 5 min briefing about test format and 5 min for sample problems before getting you started with 20 min of actual test.

The registration fee is Rs. 500, for registration you can contact the following people:
Usman Zaheer 0321-4292295
Ahmad Baber 0321-8487466
Ahsan Masood 0344-4482677
Shahmyel Tariq 0321-4554556
Armaghan 0300-9493260  (LGS Branch)

Many interested applicants ask what the format is like and if they need to bring calculators, pens, rubbers etc so here are the answers:

1. The test is purely figure reasoning so you won’t be needing (or allowed) to bring a calculator.
2. You are only allowed to use lead pencil for the test which will also be provided by MENSA so you don’t need to bring a stationary box either.
3. Duration of test is 20 minutes.

Feel free to ask in case of any queries.

All the best to the applicants.

Regards,
MENSA Pakistan

 

 

Rolls Royce

I don’t know about you, but my love of the big RR, the angel-mascot car will probably never be taken over by any other car. Its not to say that no other car is as beautiful or as “wow”, but Rolls Royce is something special, very unique, in a class of its own.

And, then, to suddenly come face-to-face with a mint condition 1922 model was a real heart-stopper. Enjoy this collection, friends:

Rolls Royce Mascot

Rolls Royce Mascot

This beauty is currently owned by the Hashoo Group, or most probably by the Pearl Continental, and was on display in the hotel lobby in June, 2008. But the history of this car is far more royal. Its original owner was one of the nawabs, and later it was also honoured to be used by Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah.

For the photography minded, the collection was shot with the iphone.
