Abby Li's Dad

For almost six years (1996 to 2002), I sent out a weekly email to my friends. This blog serves as an archive for those emails. The entries starting in May 2006 are my personal reflections on life as a father to Abby, a husband to Melissa, and everything else.

Weekly Email, 6/30/97: Interesting Puzzle

Hi everyone,

Instead of a humor email this week, I thought I would send you this
interesting brain-teaser forwarded to me by Candy Liang. Sorry if
you've already received it before. I've been working on it for about a
week, and I'm still missing #s 11, 12, 17, 18, 19, 21, 27. I don't
think I'll ever get these, so if you get one of these, please let me
know. Have fun!

-Josh.

This test does not measure intelligence, your fluency with words,
creativity or mathematical ability. It will, however, give you some
gauge of your mental flexiblity. In the three years since the test was
developed, few people have been found who could solve more than half of
the 30 questions of the first try. Many, however, reported getting
answers long after the testing had been set aside, particularly at
unexpected moments when their minds were relaxed. Some reported solving

all the questions over a period of several days. Take the test as your
personal challenge.
20 correct answers out of the 30 = Genius.
Instructions: Each equation below contains the initials of words that
will make it correct. Furnish the missing words.
For example: 60 = M in an H, which is 60 Minutes in an Hour.
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. 18 = H on a G C
10. 32 = D F at which W F
11. 8 = S on a S S
12.200 = D for P G in M
13. 3 = B M (S H T R)
14. 90 = D in a R A
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
24. 40 = D and N of G F
25. 80 = D to G A the W
26. 2 = # it T to T
27. 6 = P on the S of D
28. 50 = W to L Your L
29. 31 = F of B R
30. 40 = H in a W W


GOOD LUCK!
