What does an anchor and a fence have in common?

They will both keep you from harm.

They both restrict movement. The anchor of the boat and the fence of people.

Yeah. They both keep you in one place, more or less.

…and they both taste like chicken. ;)

So…does this mean you flunked your sanity test King P?

When “positions are taken before fencing commences” is called anchor.

That’s too obtuse!

Well, maybe not for an IQ test…but still! That isn’t something that can be deduced logically with knowledge common to everyone, which is what an IQ test should be. Which is why they aren’t always accurate.

Sorry…it’s like asking someone from a tribe in the interior of Australia, “What does ‘love’ and ‘tennis’ have in common?”
I’m done!

I would still be sitting there with a puzzled look

They can both be found lying around my house and yard? That’s probably not the right answer either, is it? Damn!

Well… all the good answers have been taken.

Damn, unless you’re a fencer, how the hell are you supposed to know that?

EXACTLY!

Or what if you practiced fencing, but spoke a different language at the time of learning fencing, and never learned the English terms? I bet the French don’t even fuckin know that, and it’s their own goddamn sport. XD
I call BS on this test lol.

You can’t call “BS” on a test @Symbeline! Them’s the rules how’d you do?

….So, King P flunked his sanity test…. WELCOME TO FLUTHER oh ye breaker of 5000 a while ago!

Rules wouldn’t exist if you couldn’t skewer them. :D

@Dutchess_III LOL. You flunked your sanity test? We have a place for you here on fluther!

They looked at you funny because your answer was correct, but it wasn’t the answer on their answer sheet. They thought there was only the fencing reference, and you came at them from a different angle. Don’t let it worry you. You’re probably no more insane than any of the rest of us, but you may be more intelligent than a lot of us.

If I’m out of the ward, then I didn’t flunk the sanity test… or I might have broken out… jk. Nahhh, I didn’t flunk it, it was just one question out of many, still have no idea what coordination has to do with IQ though (yes, there was a coordination test to which I was like wtf?)

Give us another question @King_Pariah! I love tests!

I just did, but it’s not a comparison one…

Good ones make good neighbors.

you have to work on one side, be confined by another side and collaborate with both sides. i guess that was where I was the anchor.

deep @debranise! Ever hear of the KISS principal?! :)

I was anguished over this question. I thought and thought. I answered

Chain

And I was wrong. I hate my life now because I can’t confirm that restricts area is correct even though hearing it seems logical….

So, my answer was more stupid than yours was. I said they both go to ground. They anchor when it hits the sand beneath the water and the fence to hold it up. I dont fence, so I wasn’t aware of the potential reference to that, and didnt think of ‘restriction of movement’ til hours later. Guess my I.Q.s dropped since the last time.

Inidently, the coordination(performance) part seems to be about processing, follow-through, and general coordination/nerve issues. There can be great disparities between ones ability to acquire knowledge and their ability to actually use it. So, when I did this in my 20s, my verbal I.Q. was high superior, while my performance I.Q. was just north of MR(Mentally Retarded), which brought my overall I.Q to 130(96%ile). So, basically, I’m pretty damned smart, but cant do much. This has caused much frustration over my lifetime.
