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
My answer is: the German! Wait, that was last week's riddle answer, wasn't it. Ok, I will post this week's answer after you give it again next week.
ReplyDeleteI have know idea, nor I have tried to solve it. Maybe when I'm relaxed it will come to me...
ReplyDeleteThank you conflict resolution. This was one of my fave exercises in that class!
ReplyDeleteAre you serious Josh? I can't believe you put this long thing on here. You funny as always.
