I'm not sure if this has been posted here or not [and too lazy to check
deja] but here is an "early friday OT" for you...

----------------------------------------------------------------------
 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
 GOOD LUCK!!!

 1.    26 = L of the A
 2.     7 =  W of the W
 3.  1001 = AN
 4.    12 = S of the Z
 5.    54 = C in a D (with the J)
 6.     9 = P in the SS
 7.    88 = PK
 8.    13 = S on the AF
 9.    18 = H on a GC
 10.   32 = D F at which W F
 11.    8 = S on a SS
 12.  200 = D for P G in M
 13.    3 =  B M (S H T R )
 14.   90 = D in a R A
 15.    4 = Q in a G
 16.   24 = H in a D
 17.    1 = W on a U
 18.    5 = D in a Z C
 19.   57 = H V
 20.   11 = P on a F T
 21. 1000 = W that a P is W
 22.   29 = D in F in a L Y
 23.   64 = S on a C
 24.   40 = D and N of the G F
 25.   80 = D to G A  the W
 26.    2 = # it T to T
 27.  101 = D

------------
That was the original list of 27.  I added a few of my own and entitled it
"bonus round"...

 1.    1 = # of F
 2. (about) 1 C = H M W a W C C if a W C C W
 3.    2 = Q in a C G
 4.    2 = C W
 5.    1 = P for a F-T
 6.    2 = S on a T-T
 7.    3 = S on a T-T (or 4, if it has 16)
 8.    3 = F (double bonus: they are C, L, & A)
 9.    3 = P for a F G
10.    4 = B to the M in 4/4 T
11.    4 = S on a U
12.    5 = D in a Y G
13.   12 = C in the U B
14. 12, 3, & 7 = T to D D P [someone correct me if I'm wrong on the numbers,
           but I believe these are the correct ones...]
15.   12 = A M
16.   21 = G S
17.    7 = H of H O P
18.   76 = T in the B P
19.   G D to J, D N P G, D N C 200  [ok, so it's not an equation, but it
         makes more sense than "200 = A Y D N C W Y G D to J (i.e.,  by N P
G)" ]
20.   50 = W to L Y L
21.  200 = L in the I 500
22.  500 = H of B C (hint: it's by D S)
23.  360 = D in a C C
24. 2001 = A S O


Unfortunately, I didn't write down the answers, and even *I* don't remember
them all anymore... :(
