The shapes lead me to a battery.  Answer A battery. Explanation: 1. Batteries are found in many gaming systems and other devices that can be used to have fun. Some batteries are charged using solar energy. 2. This is referring to when you use a battery for a long time and don't turn it off, its power may begin to drain. 3. This is referring to the fact that one side of a battery is positive thus optimistic. A battery can come in many sizes. 4. Rectangle and cylinder are just 2 shapes among many that a battery can come in. Batteries can be found in video cameras which help make videotapes. 5. Some batteries take long periods of time to charge so you need to be patient. 6. Cars use batteries which can help you get to different places. Batteries can be found in phones which are used to make calls. |

Each statement describes two words that when fused together create a new unrelated word (not a compound word). The clues do not necessarily indicate in which order the two words are attached. Example: This is the oldness of a tablet (pill + age = pillage). 1) This is a child of the ocean. 2) This is when an insect runs away to get married. 3) This is the monotone melody of a writing instrument. 4) This is the charge for setting a fractured bone.  |

After some relaxing, the Seekers of Knowledge received a gift from an anonymous person. The gift was a magical scroll case that had 12 gemstones on it. The Seekers were a bit shocked at the elegance of the scroll case as they knew it was very expensive. There was a catch with it. They had no idea how to open it. As they looked over the scroll case with amazement, suddenly a magic mouth appeared before them and said, "The code to open this scroll case is hidden within the stones; you must press each stone in the proper order to open it." The magic faded out. The stones are in this order on the scroll case: Turquoise, Diamond, Opal, Aquamarine, Topaz, Emerald, Moonstone, Garnet, Sapphire, Amethyst, Ruby, Peridot.  |

As there are 12 gemstones, they could represent the months of the year and the gemstones are pressed in monthly order.

These seemingly "nonsense" words have pairs of opposites in them. For example: lshoorntg would be "Long /Short" (LshOorNtG). If you've noticed, the letters in the words are always in the same order. Get the idea? Great! Now try these! 1) Wfateirer 2) Grsokuynd 3) Rpoiocrh 4) Frbeoiezle 5) Ppenecinl 6) Wmaomnan 7) Ldaigrhkt 8) Ounvderer 9) Cdilreatny 10) Riwrgohngt  |

In English, "re" is a prefix usually meaning "again", such as in "rebuild" (build again). However, there are many words starting with "re" which have a totally different meaning without the "re". You will be given two definitions, one for a word starting with "re", and one for the remaining word without the "re" (either definition could be given first). Example: exhausting / ceasing employment Answer: tiring / retiring 1. leisure time / beginning of time 2. say again / marshy organic material 3. immoral act / sticky yellow organic substance 4. was not truthful / depended on 5. feel bitterness toward / delivered 6. indulgences or luxuries / withdraws army 7. electric potential / violent uprising 8. circuit breaker / deny  |
