A fun little word game. (Solution Added)

This is the game we did in Stress Management class today. See how many of these you can get. There's no scoring system. This is just for fun! I got 14, class average was 8. Teacher said she only got 4 of these the first time she did it. Answers to follow tomorrow evening.

Each statement below contains the initials of words that make it correct. For example: 16 = O in a P can read as *16 Ounces in a Pound".

1.  26 = L of the A
2.  7 = W of the A W
3.  1001 = A N
4.  12 = S of the Z
5.  54 = C in a D (with the Js)
6.  9 = P of the SS
7.  88 = K on a P
8.  32 = D F at which W F
9.  18 = H on a G C
10. 13 = S on the A F
11. 90 = D in a R A
12. 200 = D for P G in M
13. 6 = L on an I
14. 50 = W T L Y L
15. 4 = Q in a G
16. 24 = H in a D
17. 1 = H on a U
18. 5 = D in a Z C (usually)
19. 57 = H V
20. 11 = P on a F T
21. 29 = D in F in a L Y
22. 64 = S on a C B
23. 40 = D and N of the G F
24. 12 = M of the Y
25. 50 = S on the A F
26. 4 = L on a F L C
27. 12 = D of C

  11. Ok, Apparently I am an idiot or am just not grasping the concept because my brain can't figure out any of them. I am sure when you post the answers I am going to kick myself.

  12. IceQueen ... now don't kick yourself. Here's another hint ... look at the number and search your memory for something (anything) that has that number in it ... the example ... what's got 16 in it? It could only be ounces ... there's not a lot else that we can associate that number with.

    Hope that helps a bit. I'll post answers later tonight (added to THIS blog - at the bottom)

  13. ok, great hint! I am on a roll now! So far I have 11. I'm not an idiot after all!

    ReplyDelete
  14. LOL!!!! Now you got it, IceQueen!! After we were finished with the exercise Coach asked what our opinions were - what did we learn from this little game? I (correctly) answered ... once you clear your mind and relax, the answers become easier. Yuppers ... and that's just what this little lesson was about, that the way to perform anything in life that comes your way - test at school, project boss makes you do - whatever ... relax, clear your mind and you're good to go.

    Aren't you glad you didn't try to kick yourself?

  15. I probably would have required medical attention had I tried to kick myself! I got them all! It was much easier once I stopped stressing over it and once I got the first one and told myself, "hey wait, this isnt so hard!" it was much easier! This was fun!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Exactly ... ONCE you stopped stressing it became much easier ... lesson one is stress management ... hehe ...
