[dennis]

[Tony_InDevon]

Hi Dennis .... just spotted that one, but the others beat me.

[dennis]

Hey Tony. How did you sneak that answer in after the fact?

[Tony_InDevon]

Hi Dennis,

Have to admit I edited as you must have been posting and after I posted I saw your answer come up honest .... but I'll accept a pass on 4 if only the first answers count LOL

[dennis]

Could 6 be....52 cards in a pack(without Jokers)?

[walwyn]

6. 52 cards in a pack

[Tony_InDevon]

Hi Dennis, just realised your question. I used the edit button to the right on the bar where my BF button is flashing :t:

[dennis]

Thanks Tony. Never edited any of my posts in the past. Good to know I can go back and tidy up a goof.

Dennis

[Tony_InDevon]

Hi Dennis, I found it by accident and with my typing mistakes or it not reading as I meant it really is useful.

Do you have 100 cents to anything beginning with R in the States?

Tony

[dennis]

Not that I can think of Tony. Still scratching my head.

[KCFoggin]

Tony, I'm impressed and a bit nonplussed. The ones I couldn't get happend to be the ones concerning the bible. This from a person who was taught by the nuns for 12 years. I also did not get 16 & 31

[Tony_InDevon]

Hi KC, a while back I studied psychology and spent a lot of time taking and writing IQ type tests. At the end of it we all could get high mensa scores because we knew what to look for LOL

Some of them I already knew and others I could reason out by the methods used for writing tests. ie the bible, nursery rhymes, numerical patters and the like.

Being dyslexic also helps strangely enough with tests like these, although number 6 the WJs threw me because it did not appear logical. I suspect I can’t get numbers 16 & 30 because I have not experienced what they are to do with.

Not really impressive ;)

[walwyn]

Sal will know 16 and 30.

I hope so, because I know when I'm beaten:bounce:

[Charles Harper]

9 Provinces in South Africa.

[Charles Harper]

... and a hundred cents (?) in a Rand.

[dennis]

Wow Charlie! I kept thinking about South America(duh).

[Tony_InDevon]

Nice one Charles, there's no way I would have got those.

[Charles Harper]

There's a reason-- I've been preparing to go birding there.

[Tony_InDevon]

Hi Charles, that’s as good a reason as any, shows your mind is focussed on the trip ;) Hope it’s a successful one for you :t:
