can t really comment on it. alisyn: i guess the question is, were your parents strict about your schoolwork? for instance, thomas, did you ever watch television? we just didn t have a television for several years. really we just read a lot. it wasn t really a huge deal. our parents weren t extraordinarily strict. we could all just do our own thing. lots of our friends didn t have tv. we had lots of vhs s, though, those were big back when we were little. alisyn: yes, i recall those as well. somehow it didn t have the same effect on me. but patrick, let me ask you a question, here is a sample question from mensa that i want to read for our viewers. okay? here it is: jane went to visit jill. jill is jane s only husband s mother-in-law s only husband s only daughter s only daughter. what relation is jill to jane?
