Re:Brain Teasers

Dave, I think you have WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much time on your hands. And by the way old buddy, since I couldn't get your daughter and my son hooked up, I went ahead and took care of it myself. Got him a nurse. Had to send him to the emergency room a couple of times but their hanging in there like a couple of super glued fingers. shortround out

Re:Brain Teasers

Oops, 14.

Re:Brain Teasers

Re:Brain Teasers

Re:Brain Teasers

I got 23-What suprised me was the wifey, Blond, got 18!! :o

Re:Brain Teasers

don't even want to say how many i got wrong :'(

Re:Brain Teasers

I got 19 right, but made no attempt to guess the NY state license tag question, since I don't see any around my neck of the woods. The one about the VHF dial would probably throw a lot of the younger crowd, since most TV's made in the last 20 years don't have "dials" anymore - anyone getting that one right is dating themselves to pre-history! [laugh] [laugh]

Re:Brain Teasers

Isn't it amazing what you see and do everyday that you don't pay attention to. We are too caught up in the other things of life.

Re:Brain Teasers

I got 19.....but #5 is wrong. Both Q and Z are on my phone. ;) I surprised myself by getting all 6 colors on the Campbell soup can... ;D
