A friend shared this with me today. I love a good challenge, and this was one! So I thought I'd share with you guys. I'd love to see what you guys come up with, too, since we don't have an answer key!


The Genius Test

Brain Teaser: It is a challenging, and some of them might be unknown to people the U.S. This test is to gauge your mental flexibility and creativity. Since it has been developed (in 1996), it has been found that few people can solve more than half on the first day. Many reported getting answers long after the test had been set aside, at unexpected moments when their minds were relaxed, and some reported solving it over a period of several days.

Scoring 1 to 5 is Average, 6 to 11 Somewhat Intelligent, 12 to 18 Intelligent, 19+ Genius

Example Question: 16 = O in a P Answer: 16 Ounces in a Pound

1) 26 = L of the A
2) 7 = D of the W
3) 1001 = A N
4) 12 = S of Z
5) 54 = C in a D (with J)
6) 9 = P in the S S
7) 88 = P K
8) 13 = S on the A F
9) 32 = D at which W F
10) 18 = H on a G C
11) 90 = D in R A
12) 8 = S on a S S
13) 3 = B M (S H T R)
14) 4 = Q in a G
15) 24 = H in a D
16) 1 = W on a U
17) 5 = D in a Z C
18) 57 = H V
19) 11 = P on a F B T
20) 1000 = W that a P is W
21) 29 = D in F in a L Y
22) 64 = S on a C B
23) 40 = D & N of the G F
24) 76 = T in the B P
25) 50 = W to L Y L
26) 99 = B of B on the W
27) 60 = S in a M
28) 1 = H on a U
29) 9 = J on the S C
30) 7 = B for S B
31) 21 = D on a D
32) 7 = W of the A W

Can we show off a bit? I've been in the newspaper many times before, but other than the day I was born, I never had a real, full sized article just about me!

Because I keep going back to my hometown and family from when I was an exchange student, and even had a "second wedding" there, the newspaper noticed, and interviewed me and ran an article!

I know it's in Japanese, and really small, so I don't expect most people will be able to read it, but isn't this exciting?


Ok, so we're on page 13, but it's a large newspaper, so that's not bad! It's my host dad, my real dad, me, Brian, and my host mom.
