If Bob replied he took the test and scored 152.... would anyone believe
him?

Bob is much brighter that that!

If Bob scored lower than Scotty or yourself.... would he admit to it?


Bob wouldn't score lower than me. I think that he is very intelligent,
therefore he must be brighter than I am.


Any result Bob forwards would be suspect and thus invalid. If he does not
forward a result he will suspect but at least we can assume he scored less
than the others. Either approach leads to Troll Alley.

Unfortunately, Bob has displayed a slight propensity for dishonesty in the
past. I can understand your sceptism, but I'm sure that Bob wouldn't try
to deceive us on such a trivial matter.

I'm sure that Bob will post his result after he has had a bit of time to
think about the questions.
