Feynman botched the Mensa IQ test. My hypothesis is either he did it as prank or he just thought about another million possibilities for each item that others couldn't even imagine.

I can find nothing about him taking Mensa tests. 1: https://collections.archives.caltech.edu/repositories/2/accessions/2626 https://collections.archives.caltech.edu/repositories/2/acce... Can someone verify that?
