One of my teachers gave my class a sheet of brain teeser questions. I
have figure most of them out but can't seem to solve a few.
Here are a few examples: 26 = 3D L. of the A. This would be: 26 =
Letters of the Alphabet. 54 = C. in a D. ( with the J. ) This would =
be: 54 = cards in a deck ( with the jokers. )
Here are the ones that I can't figure out.
1,001 = A. N.
88 = P. K.=20
200 = D for P. G. in M.
3 = B. M. ( S. H. T. R. )
5 = D. in a Z. C.
57 = H. V.
1,000 = W. that a P. is W.
64 = S. on a C.=20

Reminds me somehow of some thread ("Mental flexibility test"), some 2
days ago or so :) Now you can show off in your class, will you?

Ciao, Holger
