So much to do, so little time...

I am in my 2nd week of school. Week one was a busy one. I spent time taking care of details for school, going to school, & 4 hours work a day. It is a new adjustment having work & school all the time. Our stake president also asked us to go to the temple 4 times last month & we procrastinated due to our vacation in Arizona. So, we went 4 times in 2 weeks instead of 4 times in 4 weeks which would have been better. Then there was visiting teaching, procrastinated on that too, but got it finished the first week of school. Although I have homework, class & work still, this week has been a little easier. The reason I wanted to blog is to share a puzzle I received in my chemistry class. I am up to 14 which means I am somewhat intelligent! It is kind of long, I don't have all the answers, but a fun challenge! Good luck, let me know your score. I will post answers, if I get them, in a week or so.

This is to gauge your mental flexibility & creativity. In the years since it has een developed, it has been found that few people cn olve more than half on the 1st day. Many reported getting answers long after the test had been sed aside, at unexpected moments when their minds were relaxed, and some reported solving it over a period of several days. p.s. I am now up to 18, only 2 more to go & I will officially be intelligent.

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) 88 = P K

7) 13 = S on the A F

8) 18 = H on a G C

9) 8 = S on a S S

10) 3 = B M (S H T R)

11) 24 = H in a D

12) 1 = W on a U

13) 3600 = S in an H

14) 5 = D in a Z C

15) 11 = P on a F B T

16) 29 D in F in a L Y

17) 64 = S on a C B

18) 76 = T in the B P

19) 1000 = W T A P is W

20) 50 = W to L Y L

21) 99) = B of B on the W

22) 13 = L in a B D

23) 5 = T on a F

24) 13 = U F S

25) 8 = T on a O  

26) 23 = P of C in the H B

27) 21 = D on a D                                                     Scoring:

28) 7 = W of the A W                                              Average: 1 to 10

29) 200 = D for P G in M                                       Somewhat Intelligent: 11 to 19

30) 15 = M on a D M C                                            Intelligent: 20 to 27

31) 40 = D and N of the G F                                   Genius: 28 and above

32) 52 = W in a Y                                                     No cheating or sharing!

33) 80 = D A the W

34) 20000 = L U the S

35) 5280 = F in a M

36) 2001 = S O

Good luck! 

p.s. It is 7:15 p.m. on Thursday September 4, 2008...I am intelligent. I now have 20 answers. I will keep you updated.
