Last Sunday, I took the Mensa IQ Challenge at Fully Booked in Bonifacio High Street, Taguig City. The first 30 items of the exam were super easy that missing out a point for a problem was a big deal. The next items (I won’t say how many) were moderate. The only enemy I had was the SUPER limited time.
The only criterion for membership in Mensa, is to score within the top 2 percent (98th percentile and up) on an accepted and properly supervised qualifying test. -Mensa Philippines website
Earlier today, the unofficial result of the 2.22 exam was released via web. Mensa posted the good and bad news. To maintain a level of privacy, they posted the codenames we picked from a fishbowl before the exam. My lucky word was MAGELLAN. Waaaaaaaa.
After checking the super cool good and bad news, I found out that I belong to the world’s top 3% IQ-wise. Hahahaha. Yes, I am a genius.
Yes I am a genius.
I am a genius.
Yeah, right!
Anyway, proceeding to the next item I’ll be sharing. I’ve recently shared to you that I have a hunger for knowledge and today, I was fortunate enough to learn something new. I love learning new things! It was a file transfer thru SSH crash course. 
My orgmates asked me to generate reports of the recently concluded Computerized University Elections here in UP Diliman. All they gave me were the login credentials of the server where the database was stored and the I.P. address.
The account they gave me did not have any write access to the www folder so uploading the script thru FTP and dumping the results thru HTTP was not an option. I asked for more options and one of them suggested that I use SSH. What the heck?! I’ve never used SSH for uploading and downloading files, seriously. I never thought it was possible.
Since the only thing I knew was to login to the server thru SSH, I had to ask for help. Gladly, kuya Prem extended his help despite his busy schedule. I was also able to apply my newly acquired (last year) Linux shell skills like dumping something to a file. It was so much fun.
Yey, I am a genius. Yes I am a genius! I AM A GENIUS!! Mikko is a GENIUS!

Excuse me but my eyes must be failing me. I saw the codename ‘Magellan’ under the bad news list. o.o
@Misako:
That was a joke. That’s why I said I’m part of the world’s top 3%, not top 2% which is the qualification for Mensa.
Hahaha.
Good for you bro. Congrats! I also took the exam last February 22. What time did you take the exam? Mine was 3 to 4pm schedule. Unfortunately, I was disappointed to see my name in the “bad news” page. But thanks to Jehz for informing me that the results were posted already.
Oh, you belong to bad news. We’re the same. Hehe…
My codename was BLACKBODY.
I was disappointed. I think I was quite old to take the exam. I should have taken it when I was younger.
