Title: Stuck on a puzzle Post by: Indestructable on September 06, 2006, 08:36:11 PM These are probably easy, but stuck so any ideas? There is a connecting word between each pair of words so for example
Garlic and Fly the answer is butter - garlic Butter and butter fly Heavy Fatigue Back Grease Vegetable & Run (the & is part of the answer) no prizes if you have the answer, but will send you a postcard from the holiday if I win it. :D Title: Re: Stuck on a puzzle Post by: bolt pp on September 06, 2006, 08:42:41 PM On the advice of my A-level maths teacher i sent off for a preliminary mensa test.
There were a couple of the mathematics questions, particularly number patters that i could just not do. So i decided to wait until the topic of patterns came up in class and introduced the questions. My teacher was a bit suspicious about how i came up with them but i got the answers!! A deserving 154 i thought, just for the lateral thinking involved in acquiring the answers ;D Title: Re: Stuck on a puzzle Post by: Tonji on September 06, 2006, 08:45:08 PM Heavy Metal Fatigue
