Brain Bender
Ok, so I promised you a laugh…here are a few from Will Rogers that made me smile then on to the brain bender:
There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
Ok, here’s a test of your mental flexibility, it does not measure your intelligence or your fluency with words. Since it’s creation, few people have been found who could solve the more than half of the 26 questions on the first try. Many reported getting answers long after the testing had been set aside. 18 correct answers out of 28 = genius (though if it doesn’t measure intelligence, then why would they bother telling us this?)
Instructions: Each equation below contains the initials of words that will make it correct. Furnish the missing words. For example 60= M in an H, 60 minutes in an hour. Good luck, have fun!
1. 26 = L of the A
2. 7 = W of the AW
3. 1001 = A N
4. 12 = S of the Z
5. 54 = C in a D (with the J)
6. 9 = P in the SS
7. 88 = P K
8. 13 = S on the A F
9. 18 = H on a G C
10. 32 = D F at which W F
11. 8 = S on a SS
12. 200 = D for P G in M
13. 3 = B M (S H T R)
14. 90 = D in a R A
15. 4 = Q in a G
16. 24 = H in a D
17. 1 = W on a U
18. 5 = D in a Z C
19. 57 = HV
20. 11 = P on a F T
21. 1000 = W that a P is W
22. 29 = D in F in a L Y
23. 64 = S on a C
24. 40 = D and N of G F
25. 80 = D to G A the W
26. 2 = No. it T to T
27. 5 = V in the A
28. 2 = P in a P
In my first sitting I can get 13. There are several flickering on the outer edges of my consciousness but I can’t quite figure them out. Hope that between all of us we can figure them out since the answer sheet seems to be missing. Don’t you hate that?
