Short but très funny: There is a quiz on MSN Netherlands which determines your "Mesenger IQ". It features six questions about all aspects of Messenger.

 

However, one of the questions/answers is just plain wrong. The question goes "How many buddies can you have?" with the following answers: 400, 500, 600. Which one would you pick? As a fanatic Messer I'm sure you would pick 600, the last known number of buddies. Whoops! According to MSN the limit is 500. Of course, 600 should be the right number of buddies, and, even more embarrisingly, the real number of buddies isn't even in the list.. The limit is actually 1200 buddies, although I'm not sure if this limit only applies to either Messenger of ABCH (where your address book is stored). 

 

Another question is "with how many buddies can you chat simultaneously". I didn't even know there was a limit. I'm fairly sure there is a "theoretic" limit of infinite conversations. Of course, they could mean the maximum numbers of buddies per conversation, which is something else all-together. They say the limit is 20 buddies.. Has anyone actually tested this?

 

Oh, and the test is buggered up, anyway -- Wrong answers will show up as "correct" (but won't count towards your x/6 questions right score)
