Not sure about the math on that one Michael. Example, 2 Mensa members in
a room full of monkeys. Would it still be a smart group? Question: How
many extra monkeys would be required to offset the negative influnce of
the Mensites?

You raise a very good point, Bill. In my original note I talked about
the magic 2% number as being members. What I should have said is that,
if more than 2% of our group QUALIFIED for Mensa, we'd be a pretty smart
group. Not all smart people are Mensa members (and not all Mensa
members are smart, by many standards!).
Do I now need my Nomex?
