Question The Test

This test does not measure your intelligence, your fluency with words, and certainly not your mathematical ability. It will, however, give you some gauge of your mental flexibility and creativity. It has been found that few people could solve more than half on the first day. Many reported getting answers long after the test had been set aside, at unexpected moments when their minds were relaxed; and some reported solving questions over a period of several days.

Take this as a personal challenge.

Example: 16 = O in a P Answer: 16 = ounces in a pound

1. 26 = L of the A

2. 7 = D of the W

3. 1001 = A N

4. 12 = S of the Z

5. 54 = C in a D (with J)

6. 9 = P in the S S

7. 88 = PK

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. 200 = D for P G in M

13. 8 = S on a S S

14. 3 = B M (S H T R)

15. 4 = Q in a G

16. 24 = H in a D

17. 1 = W on a U

18. 5 = D in Z C

19. 57 = H V

20. 11 = P on a F B T

21. 1000 W that a P is W

22. 29 = D in F in a L Y

23. 64 = S on a C B

24. 40 = D and N of the G F

25. 76 = T in the BP

26. 50 = W to L Y L

27. 99 = B of B on the W

28. 60 = S in a M

29. 1 = H on a U

30. 9 = J on the S C

31. 7 = B for S B

32. 21 = D on a D

33. 7 = W of the A W

34. 15 = M on a D M C

Scoring:

1-6 Questions = Average

6-12 Questions = Somewhat Intelligent

12-18 Questions = Intelligent

18+ Questions = Genius!

Re: The Test

Some of these are pretty obvious, but others aren't. I looked at it for just a couple of minutes and a few things jumped out at me

I believe you might have this one wrong. This dates to before most most of you were around, but there was a song in the 70's called 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover.

another possible wrong one:

How about 1 Horn on a Unicorn???


A couple you both missed:

3. 1001 = A N
1001 = Arabian Nights

9. 32 = D F at which W F
32 Degrees Farenheit at which Water Freezes

I'll look this over later when I have more time and see if I can come up with any more.
