I created this today ... it may be modified as feedback comes in.

What is your Blackjack IQ?

A Big <H3>Whoo Hoo!</H3>

Felix scores 180

That must be good.

I knew Peter Griffin could not have invented 'Wong Halves' because he is a cartoon character on "Family Guy".

163 and don't know who Inga is either. Maybe a picture of Inga at the end of the test, mayor ?

What do you think?

I would expect most of the regulars here to get a very good score. The max score is 200. The minimum score is 0.

I am hoping that those who visit this site who don't know much about BJ will get scores below 100, so the test has to be broad enough to encompass all of us. I want people to get a real estimate that may have some value to them. (Does IQ ever have value?).

If you think any question is particularly weak, and want to make a suggestion, that is appreciated :cool:

As for "Inga" -- I don't want to give anything away.

Re: What do you think?

It seemed to me like a fair mix of difficulty levels with the questions. I wouldn't want to discuss any of them in particular, in case someone reads this before they take the quiz. Any criticisms I could make would be minor anyway. I think it is a good general test of exposure to the Blackjack community.

The Inga thing is a bit confusing... I had a theory, but now I think I'm wrong.

Also, I had a co-worker take it who only knows what I have discussed with him about counting. He scored a 108 cold. He is also good test taker. So, this score seems about right to me for someone with a conversational knowledge of APing, and good test taking abilities.

Re: dead link for me too.

Does someone know javascript or php and want to re-write this test so that it always works?

Let me know...
