Problem-Solving

This test does not measure your intelligence, your fluency with words
and certainly not your mathematical ability. It will, however, give you
a guage of your mental flexibility and creativity. Few people by
themselves can solve more than half on their first try. Only a group can
arrive at most of the solutions. It's easy to play--each quotation below
contains the initials of words that will make it correct. Find the
missing words.

1. 26 = L. of the A.
2. 7= W. of the A. W.
3. 1001 = A. N.
4. 12 = S. of the Z.
5. 54 = C. in a D. (With the J.)
6. 9 = P. in the S.S.
7. 88 = P.K.
8. 13 = S. on the A.F.
9. 32 = D.F. at which W.F.
10. 18 = H. on a G.C.
11. 90 = D. in a R.A.
12. 8 = S. on a S.S.
13. 3 = B.M. (S.H.T.R.!)
14. 4 = Q. in a G.
15. 24 = H. in a D.
16. 57 = H.V.
17. 11 = P. on a F.T.
18. 1000 = W. that a P. is W.
19. 29 = D. in F. in a L.Y.

1. Eight out of 19. Not too good.

[Marthe48]

8. Not too bad, either!

At first, I was thinking what the heck?! Then I figured the first one out, and the rest started coming to mind.

2. I need an example. It makes no sense to me as is and...

I know I'm not an idiot.

First of all, nothing is in quotes.

My brain shut down with the presence of that inconsistency. Put quotes around something and maybe my OCD force field will dematerialize so I can try one.



3825-87867 I like your posts. But right now, I'm sleepy. So, I'm going to bookmark this and see you tomorrow.

Nite!

4. 26L. of A.

26=Letters of the Alphabet.

3. 18 of 19 but I probably spent too much time on it

[Marthe48]

10. I bet this is wrong

54= Calories in a Donut (with the Jelly) lol

[fargone]

11. Not the one I had.

This might not survive careful scrutiny. The jelly alone is probably more than 54 calories. The creative thinking, though, is brilliant

5. I got the 8 easy ones !!!!

[Collimator]

6. What do the numbers have to do with it?

I am completely non-plussed. And I am not stupid, so-so in my math skills* but generally very creative. I guess that I must be a lonely, rigid-minded bitch because I don't even understand the question and honestly, I'm a little pissed. . . But hey, being non-plussed and pissed at least allows me to use an alliteration, which I always enjoy.


*Attended 125% of my college statistics classes and took three times longer than everyone else in the class to finish the exam, but I got my frickin' A.

7. 16 of 19

First pass.

I will have to think about 5, 12 and 13.

[Marthe48]

9. A few more

99 = B. of B. on the W.
12= E. in a D.
3= F. in a Y.
