Brain Teaser

[fabijo]

Wow, I haven't seen this one since high school. My mom had a paper copy of this she got when SHE was in college. This is an updated version, the original used brands of cigarettes. I used to entertain myself with it when I was home sick from school. That was long before spreadsheets. I'll have to see if I can do it again. No fair using spreadsheets, draw your own table on piece of paper, pencil and eraser.:laugh:

Yeah, I did this one on paper a while ago. It was different animals, but it still is the same concept. I'd like to have the time, but I'm packing!

Pall Mall, Dunhill, Blend, Bluemaster and Prince are ciggies and/or tobacco brands. This is the original version.

OK the whole thing together:

Original version, Maybe so, when I worked my mom's version it was Winston, Salem, Pall Malls, Camels and something else. Cigars smell better at least, which is what I figured Dunhills and BlueMasters are. I'll work on it anyway.

I'm a little late on this one, but I was going to say a newspaper. Of course that's "read" and not red.

I thought that one went "what's black, white, and read all over?"

I learn something new every day here!
