Wanna test your smarts? - Deadly Zero - 15-02-2005
Ok i have a series of question that ive been asked in my lifetime and now i will ask you all.
most of them are from a game i had fun with called Mind trap.
ok heres the first question
"Therein lies the secret," said Scheming Suzie.
"For you see, there is a seven letter word in the english language that contains ten words without rearranging any of its letters."
What is the word?

how'd you know??
Ok heres the next one:
An old beggar collects cigarette ends from ashtrays and sidewalks and uses the tobacco to roll her own cigarettes. She has this practice down to a fine art, knowing that seven cugarette ends will make one cigarette. Since she has collected 49 ends, how many cigarettes can she make from these?

logic says 7 (49 ends / 7 ends per cigarette = 7 cigarettes). but there's probably something deeper than that.

"How many three cent stamps are in a dozen" -WHAT- ?
in a dozen of eggs: 0
in a dozen of donuts: 0
in a dozen homework assigments i have to do: 0
if you're talking about in a dozen cents it'd be four, but if you're saying in a dozen stamps, it'd be anywhere from 0-12 stamps that are worth 3 cents depending on the cost of each stamp.
stamps cost 37 cents now anyway.

most people say four but flickynick got it right. there are 12 three cent stamps in a dozen but whiteninja was partially right too
heres the next on:
This is a most unusual paragraph. How quickly can you find out whats is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why? Study it, think about it, and you may find out. Try to do it without coaching. If you work at it for a bit it will dawn you in. So jump to it and try your skill at figuring it out. Good luck - dont blow your cool!
