Another mind game
Yes, the answer to Einstein's Riddle was the German.
Here's another puzzle that won't kill as much time...
1: An Exam to your WITS 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. In the three years since the test was developed, few people could solve more than half the 23 questions on the first try. Many, however, reported getting answers long after the test had been set aside, particularly at unexpected moments when their minds were relaxed; and some reported solving all the questions over a period of several days. INSTRUCTIONS: Each question below contains the initial of words that will make it correct. Find the missing words.
Example: 16 = O in a P. Ounces in a Pound
1. 26 = L of the A
2. 1001 = A N
3. 7 = W of the W
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. 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 a Z C
19. 57 = H V
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

Sick Day
Today I decided to call in and take a sick day. This is the first time that I think I have EVER done it. It was pretty amazing! I got so much done today it was great. I did laundry, dishes, took the dogs for a jog, cut my hair and commented on all of your blogs. The best part of all is that was all done before lunch time. The only problem is that now I'm gonna have to find stuff to do the next couple days since I'll be off work.

Einstein's Riddle
A couple days ago, I had a guy ask me if I knew about Einstein's Riddle. I had never heard of it before and he challenged me to try. Since he told me that 98% of people cannot figure it out, I bit...
I'm proud to say that I'm a part of that 2% lol. I'm pretty sure that the reason 98% of people can't figure it out is because they either get bored with it, or don't have the time to solve it.
Go ahead and try it out. Lemme know what you think...
ALBERT EINSTEIN'S RIDDLE
ARE YOU IN THE TOP 2% OF INTELLIGENT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD? SOLVE THE RIDDLE AND FIND OUT.
There are no tricks, just pure logic, so good luck and don't give up.
1. In a street there are five houses, painted five different colours.
2. In each house lives a person of different nationality
3. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.
THE QUESTION: WHO OWNS THE FISH?
HINTS
1. The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The Green house is next to, and on the left of the White house.
5. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.

Thank-you
I would like thank everyone who submitted ideas for my future blogs. It should be a lil easier to post now. I'll just have to make sure that I don't ramble nonsense information.

Hi
I've never done these before and honestly don't plan to continue after this course has come to an end. I'm currently browsing through the topics in overloaded brain, that most people think is empty. It's ok. I like it that way... The less people think you know, the less they expect of you...
Anyways, I think this blog should be about... wait for it... I still haven't come up with anything...
Sorry if you thought this was a waste of time, maybe you should comment some random topics for my future blogs.
