    What interested me is "I know how do count to 31 with one hand" - anyone knows how to do it?
    This stumped me aswell.

    Maybe we're not just not geeks thop, maybe we just be dumb.

        Could be. It's also a lot more than that. Nina Simone, Louis Jordan, Ella Fitzgerald, Louie Armstrong, Indigo Swing.....

        and more and more. And then, there's the blues

          Glenn Miller, Count basie and modern bands like Brian Setzer's Orchestra;



          Yup...and swing dancing is very popular again, even among the kids who like it along with latin (tango, salsa etc.) and other ballroom dancing in general.

          Our son Chris and his wife are very much into it as are a lot of their friends, many of which you would never suspect as being swing/latin/ballroom dancers.

            Yup. I've been doing swing for 3+ years, and salsa/mambo for 6-12 months.

            Oh, and none of that is ballroom, except that 6-count jitterbug junk the studios invented.

              Ballroom competition styles;

              American Style: American Smooth + American Rhythm

              American Smooth: Waltz + Tango + Foxtrot + Viennese Waltz
              American Rhythm: Cha cha + Rumba + Mambo + Swing

              International Style: International Standard + International Latin

              International Standard: Waltz + Tango + Foxtrot + Viennese Waltz + Quickstep
              International Latin: Cha cha + Samba + Rumba + Paso doble + Jive

              Salsa is a Cuban/Puerto Rican blend of Mambo, Rumba, and Cha Cha

                  Man that test was way too long. My result was: 13.21499% - Geekish Tendencies. Actually I expected something like 30%. So maybe the test is broken
