Right.

My thoughts were juice, gin, whiskey and milk are all free-flowing, while a milkshake is stiff.

Car, not mass transport (this one threw me, too... I thought, "Airplane flies, while the others are all surface transport"; then "Steamboat is water transport, the others all go through air... no, that's stupid..."

Think; the others are all descriptive of communication activities, while thinking is not a way of communicating with others.

At first. :^) Then I remembered that Jakarta was a capital...

32 + 4 = 36
36 / 4 = 9
9 + 3 = 12
12 / 3 = 4
4 + 2 = 6
6 / 2 = 3

(The next two in the series would be 3 + 1 = 4, 4 / 1 = 4)

Algeria (country in North Africa)

I think (could be wrong on this, so don't quote me) that a real IQ test actually hands out partial credit on some questions, so you might get a half point for the circles.
