This is the best I could do in about 1/2 hour, going through non-linearly,
and looking at most many times. The second group seemed easier!

This test does not measure intelligence, your fluency with words,
creativity or mathematical ability. It will, however give you some
gauge of your mental flexibility.
In the three years since the test was developed, few people have been
found who could solve more than half of the 27 questions on the first try.
Many, however reported getting answers long after the testing had been
set aside, particularly at unexpected moments when their minds were
relaxed.Some reports solving all the questions over a period of several
days.
Take the test as your personal challenge. 16 corrrect answers out of the
27 in your first try means that you are some kind of GENIUS.
INSTRUCTIONS: Each equation below contains the initials of words
that will make it correct. Furnish the missing words.
FOR EXAMPLE:
60 = M in an H
The answer would be:
60 = Minutes in an Hour

G)" ]
