  2. What do all the words in this list have in common? Lead, Sow, Bass, Wind, Tear, Object
  3. During a visit to a mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criteria is that defines if a patient should be institutionalized. “Well,” said the Director, “we fill up a bathtub. Then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask the patient to empty the bathtub.”Okay, here’s your test:
    a)  Would you use the spoon?  b)  Would you use the teacup?  c)  Would you use the bucket?
    What is the answer?
  4. Inside each set of the following words, there are a pair of smaller words. By putting & between them, you’ll make a familiar phrase. For example, “Thighbone/Swallowtail” conceals “High & Low.”
    • a) Skyrocketing/Trolleyman
    • b) Thermometer/Populous
    • c) Delaware/Bordering
    • d) Surprised/Trashiness
  5. One snowy night, Sherlock Holmes was in his house sitting by a fire. All of a sudden a snowball came crashing through his window, breaking it.
    Holmes got up and looked out the window just in time to see three neighborhood kids who were brothers run around a corner. Their names were John Crim, Mark Crim, and Paul Crim.
    The next day Holmes got a note on his door that read:
    “? Crim. He broke your window.”
    Which of the three Crim brothers should Sherlock Holmes question about the incident?
