A Cambridge University intelligence test disguised as a joke: two climbers die and ascend past eaves, one shouts "ah, eagles!" The speaker won't explain it. Email him if you figure it out.
I've got a little puzzle for you, and it takes the form of a joke. It's called the infamous Eagle's Joke, and it was supposedly a test for undergraduates at Cambridge University to see how intelligent they were. If you get the joke, it shows you're intelligent. If you don't get the joke, well, you're like most people. Most people don't get it. It's a very tough one to get, really. And it goes like this: 2 climbers were climbing in a mountain range. when unfortunately they fell off a high cliff to their deaths. And as their souls were leaving their mortal bodies and ascending to heaven, the souls passed some eagles, and one of the souls said, ah, eagles! But the eagles, being polite, said nothing. That's the joke. So what's it all about? Well, you have to listen very carefully. You'll know when you've got it. It's slightly rude, And it's a crummy joke, but you will— once you get it, you'll know you've got it. If you don't get it, listen to it again, try a few times, and then send me an email and I'll send you the answer. Good luck!
