See if you can think of a word to fill in the blank that would result in a meaningful acronym (i.e. the acronym is a word that relates to what the acronym stands for). For example (based on a real company name): Portable On Demand _____ = POD_ Answer: "Storage" goes in the blank, which gives the acronym PODS. The company transports mobile storage containers (pods). 1. Casually Have A ____ = CHA_ 2. ____ Related Other Sons = _ROS 3. The Ultimate ____ Store = TU_S 4. Justice Administered In ____ = JAI_ 5. ____ Everyone Achieves More = _EAM 6. Hanging Onto Positive ____ = HOP_  |

Stan is applying for a job with a high paying electrician known to hire people who can think outside of the box. He tells Stan that if he can solve a particular problem, he will get the job. The boss puts Stan outside the door to a room from which light cannot escape. Inside the room is a lamp. On the wall next to Stan are four switches, one of which works the lamp, the other three do nothing. Stan needs to figure out which switch works the lamp, but the boss has taken away all of his tools. He has told Stan that he may flip the switches to his heart's content, but he can only open the door to examine the lamp once. What should Stan do with the switches to ensure he gets the job?  |

Open the door first, and while keeping it open, check the switches.

Open the door first, and while keeping it open, check the switches.  Answer Stan flips switch "1" on for one minute then turns it off. He then flips switch "2" on for a few seconds then turns it off. Then he flips switch "4" on and opens the door. If the lamp is off and the bulb is hot, then he knows it was switch "1". If it's off and the bulb is warm then he knows it was switch "2". If it's off and cold, then it was switch "3". And obviously if it's on then it's switch "4". |

SNEP - pens
NEPO - open
EPOH - hope

Take the list of words below and arrange them into 3 sentences that all have something in common. Each word is only used once for each time it appears in the list. Punctuation is not an issue in this teaser in the initial placement of words. Only names are capitalized to start with. DAD, LET, LETS, LEW, MARGE, MISSES, NO, NORAH, ORDERED, ROSES, SEE, SHARON'S, SIMON, TELEGRAM, TELL, WE'LL, What are the sentences and what do they have in common? |

Post by Kimmy on Jun 18, 2020 8:02:25 GMT
Answer
1: MARGE LETS NORAH SEE SHARON'S TELEGRAM.
2: WE'LL LET DAD TELL LEW.
3: NO MISSES ORDERED ROSES, SIMON.
All three sentences, when correctly placed, are palindromes. They read the same backward and forward.
