Of corse I got them all right for now more when the answers pop up but for now I got them all right. just ask me.

[Jerry D]

I missed two and the wife got them all correct

[Andy]

I'm sure of 15, guessed on 3 (probably wrong on all 3). One question, just can't recall the answer. Question 17, the question is wrong. If Keith reads this I'd bet he'll make a comment. But the premise for the question is in error, you need to read Genesis again.
I've hear question #12 at least 50 times but I'm drawing a blank. Must be time for my meds.

Stay healthy,
Andy

Andy A 50 cent piece and a nickle the 50 cent piece is not a nickle Number 17 even if worded wrong is one of each sex

[Keith_Hixson]

These are the brain teasers we played on each other in our family when I was growing up. Pretty sure I got at least 19 correct. When I was young I think I missed them all at one time or another. I'm going to make a copy of the test and give it to my grandkids.


Andy,

Check the wording on 12.
One is not a nickle but the other is a nickle. The correct answer is: half/dollar and a nickle.

Chris,
Moses didn't have an Ark it was Noah. So the answer is none.


Figured Out the one which was giving me a little trouble.

George W. Bush on # 20 I was going with Harry S. but changed it to George W.

5 he can't be buried if he isn't dead
6 6
7 no - because he is dead
8 they aren't playing each other

12 50 cent piece and a nickel ( the other one is a nickel )
