I haven’t gotten all of these; would someone like to help out?
This test does not measure intelligence, your fluency with words,
creativity or mathematical ability. It will, however, give you some
gauge of your mental flexibility.
In the three years since the test was developed,few people have
been found who could solve more than half of the questions
on 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.
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’ would be ‘60 = minutes in an hour.’
Have fun!
1 = W on a U
2 = No. it T to T
3 = B M (S H T R)
4 = Q in a G
5 = D in a Z C
7 = W of the A W
8 = S on a S S
9 = P in the S S
11 = P on a F T
12 = S of the Z
13 = S on the A F
18 = H on a G C
24 = H in a D
26 = L of the A.
29 = D in F in a L Y
32 = D F at which W F
40 = D and N of G F
54 = C in a D (with the J)
57 = H V

Sorry about the formatting of the last message, folks. The message
board software appears to have gobbled the blank lines and spaces I
used to format the text…
