  WEll I know some people who may not pass it.  Here is another question to 
ponder though.  For those of you familiar with the movie RAIN MAN, was
Rain Man intelligent?  He had vast knowledge, but had a problem relating
it to the world around us.  This is not the only case of this sort of thing.
Ethically, if a machine that has a vast amount of knowledge and could not
relate it to things for us is not intelligent, then we must consider if
such people are intelligent.
