You're watching The Learning Network, where minds grow.

But first, Nostradamus, the man who saw the future.

In 1555, the prophet Nostradamus foretold a terrifying series of predictions.

But Nostradamus' final quatrain contained one more prediction yet to come.

A flaming mushroom spreads across the sky.

Anyone left alive will surely find themselves envying...

Smithers, the end is nigh and we must prepare.

Attention, fellow members of the Springfield Chapter of Mensa.

Mr. Burns has called us here to solve an unknown problem of global importance.

I summoned you here because the world is about to end.

No, it isn't. What are you afraid of? Global warming?

I am asking you to help with the Montgomery Burns Doomsday Arc.

This space vehicle will lead humanity's best and brightest to a better life under my stern rule.

I need you to tell me who is worthy of surviving the apocalypse with me.

I only want the sharpest razors in this town's Halloween candy.

It's simple. All we need to do is give everyone in town an IQ test.

Being intelligent people, I am quite sure that you will take this well.

I have the ultimate test that measures something far more significant.

Your worthiness as a human being is best measured, people, by the personal value quotient.

In order to defuse your obvious hostilities, I will make my presentation entertaining, all right?

Forgive me if it seems like I'm attacking, but I find the old IQ test badly lacking.

If you want to find out just what someone can do, you need to learn that subject's P.V.Q.

It tests for sympathy and empathy and group collaboration.

And every single aspect of a personality.

Confidence, ambition, and the teams for whom you're rooting.

The way I look at it, the more things secret corporations know about us, the better, huh?

Remove all stray marks. Number two pencil only.

This question asked about the price of underwear as if I were some landed aristocrat.

The newest and most accurate measure of our intelligence on a scale from one to five hundred.

Now we'll run everyone's scores past the screen really fast from best to worst, trusting that you'll pause at only your name.

Well, that's good. Let's change the channel.

I refuse to accept that my little guy has no future.

He can learn how to put in adding machine tape. That's how I got through the depression.

Nobody did. I've already started the arc.

Smithers, speed up production on the arc.

Apply them with all the rum and salt it takes.

Should I really be pulling on this string?
