I've typed the test in exactally as I originally received it, with 23 questions, not 24 as indicated in the header. I don't really know the origin of the test so if someone out there is the author of the test please don't sue.... If you would like to send me your answers I will gladly summarize the answers up, and post the correct answers at a later date, along with the more humorous ones.... but because this is net.jokes my joke first.... A buxom blonde woman walks into a department store and tries on a very low cut evening gown. The woman asks the clerk if she thinks the dress is too low cut. The clerk asks the woman if she has hair on her chest, to which the woman immediatly replies "NO, of course not!", the clerk then tells her that the dress is definately too low cut.... /------------------------------- CUT HERE ---------------------------------/ EQUATION ANALYSIS TEST This test does not measure your intelligence, your fluence with words and certianly NOT your mathematical ability. It will, however, give you some gauge of your mental flexibility and creativity. In the three years since we developed the test, we have found few people who could solve more than half of the 24 questions on the first try. Many, however, reported getting answeres long after the test had been set aside --- particularly at unexpected moments when their minds were relaxed, and some reported solving all the questions over a period of several days. Take this as your challenge. INSTRUCTIONS: Each equation below contains the initials of words that will make it correct. For example: 26 - L. of the A. (Letters of the Alphabet) A. 7 = W. of the A.W. _______________________________________________________ B. 1001 = A.N. ______________________________________________________________ C. 12 = S. of the Z. ________________________________________________________ D. 54 = C. in a D. (wht the J.) _____________________________________________ E. 9 = P. in the S.S ________________________________________________________ F. 88 = P.K. ________________________________________________________________ G. 13 = S. on the A.F. ______________________________________________________ H. 18 = H on a G.C. _________________________________________________________ I. 32 = D.F. at which W.F. __________________________________________________ J. 90 = D. in a R.A. ________________________________________________________ K. 200 = D. for P.G. in M. __________________________________________________ L. 8 = S. on a S.S. _________________________________________________________ M. 3 = B.M. (S.H.T.R.) ______________________________________________________ N. 4 = Q. in a G. ___________________________________________________________ O. 24 = H. in a D. __________________________________________________________ P. 1 = W. on a U. ___________________________________________________________ Q. 5 = D. in a Z.C. _________________________________________________________ R. 57 = H.V. ________________________________________________________________ S. 11 = P. on a F.T. ________________________________________________________ T. 1000 = W. that a P. is W. ________________________________________________ U. 29 = D. in F. in a L.Y. __________________________________________________ V. 64 = S. on a C. __________________________________________________________ W. 40 = D. and N. of the G.F. _______________________________________________ /-------------------------------- EOT --------------------------------------/ (End of Test) - Eric L.
