Can you answer the twenty-four questions?

10/19/2007 Dr Wingnut General 1

This test does not measure your intelligence, your fluency with words, and certainly not your mathematical skills.  It will however, give you some gauge of your mental flexibility and creativity.   In the three years since this test was developed (1994?), we’ve found few people who could solve more than half the 24 questions on the first try.  Many however, reported getting answers long after the test had been set aside, particularly at unexpected moments when their minds were relaxed.  Some reported solving all the questions over a period of several days.  Take this as a personal challenge.  Good luck!

Instructions: Each question below contains the initials of words that will make it correct.  Find the missing words.
