Betsy brought this little puzzle home from work one day, and it was so much fun I thought I'd share it. Please reply to this card and list as many answers as you can find. The full list of answers will be published next time...

STUMPER

This test does not measure your intelligence, your fluency with words and certainly not your mathematical ability. It will, however, give you a gauge of your mental flexibility and creativity.

In the three years the test was developed, few people have been found who could solve more than half of the 23 questions on the first try. Many, however, reported getting the answers long after the test had been set aside, particularly at the unexpected moments when their minds were relaxed and some reported solving all questions over a period of several days. Take this test as your own personal challenge.

Instructions: Each question below contains the initials 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. 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. 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 SS
  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
