Mental flexibility test
James Scott
3 years since it was developed, it has been found that few people could
solve more than half on the first day (by themselves, unaided in any
manner). Many have 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.
I have solved all but #3 and #31. If you solve these two, could you
please post the answers. Thanks!
Examples:
16 = O in a P
Answer: 16 ounces in a pound
9 = I in a B G
Answer: 9 innings in a baseball game
1. 26 = L of the A
2. 7 = D of the W
3. 88 = P K
4. 13 = S on the A F
5. 32 = D F at which W F
6. 18 = H on a G C
7. 4 = Q in a G
8. 24 = H in a D
9. 50 = W to L Y L
10. 99 = B of B on the W
11. 60 = S in a M
12. 1 = H on a U
13. 9 = J on the S C
14. 7 = B for S B
15. 11 = P on a F B T
16. 29 = D in F in a L Y
17. 40 = D and N of the G F
18. 12 = S of the Z
19. 1 = W on a U
20. 3 = B M ( S H T R )
21. 54 = C in a D ( with J )
22. 1001 = A N
23. 9 = P in the S S
24. 200 = D for P G in M
25. 90 = D in a R A
26. 8 = S on a S S
27. 5 = D in Z C
28. 57 = H V
29. 1000 = W that a P is W
30. 64 = S on a C B
31. 76 = T in the B P
32. 21 = D on a D
33. 7 = W of the A W
34. 15 = M on a D M C
Score after 24 hours:
1 TO 6 = average
6 TO 12 = above average
12 TO 18 = somewhat intelligent
18 TO 28 = intelligent
28 OR MORE = Genius
