Re: Have Some Word Fun!
The Grand Anagrammy Awards of 2010
Long Category:
Meyran Kraus with:
How Smart Are You?
1. You're participating in a race. You finally
overtake the second person. What position are
you in?
2. And if you just overtook the last person,
then you are...?
3. Some very puzzling arithmetic! This must
be calculated in your head only. Don't use a
calculator or even paper and pencil for this.
Add 40 to 1000. Now add 1000. Add 30
more. Add 1000. Now add 20 more. Add
another 1000. Add 10 more. What is the total?
4. Mary's father had five lovely daughters: 1.
Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono... What's the
name of the fifth daughter?
5. A mute person goes into some shop to buy
himself a toothbrush. By imitating the action
of brushing his teeth, he successfully
expresses himself to the shopkeeper and
manages to buy it. Then a blind man comes
into the shop and wants to buy a pair of
sunglasses; how would HE indicate what he
wants?
Answers to the quiz:
1. If you answered that you're first, then
you're absolutely WRONG! If you overtake the
second person and you take his place, YOU'RE
in second place.
2.If you answered you're second to last, then
you're WRONG again. How can you overtake
the LAST person?!
3. Did you get 5000? It's not very accurate...
The correct answer is actually 4100.
4. Did you Answer Nunu? No! Of course it's
incorrect. Her name is Mary. Read this
question again!
5. It's very simple, really: He opens his mouth
and asks for it...
=
How Stupid Are You?
Choose an answer for each question, then add
up the numbers to determine your stupidity
level:
The capital of Greece is...
1. Dwindling. 2. Athens. 3. G. 4. "Saturday
Night Fever" is a lot more fun.
What's the opposite of Apathy?
1. I don't care. 2. Interest. 3. Cherokee. 4. A-
dead-end-y?
Who's known as the discoverer of America?
1. Neanderthals. 2. Christopher Columbus. 3.
Americus Gazpacho. 4. Captain Crunch.
Who's buried in Grant's Tomb?
1. The man who invented this "joke",
hopefully. 2. Ulysses S. Grant. 3. I need more
information. 4. Which one of them?
Let's say I wed your cousin and I have a
cousin too; then he is...
1. Not wanted on Thanksgiving. 2. My cousin-
in-law's cousin. 3. A next of kin of sorts. 4.
We can't both be married to my cousin!
Let's add up your points:
5-7: You possess negative amounts of
stupidity. You are a constant smartass who
has no energy to try this unneeded test. Go
read Kafka or something.
8-12: You have zero stupidity and answered
almost every question in the test correctly.
Well done, you are duller than a fourth grade
history teacher. You are the person that often
tells everyone when 'whom' should be used.
13-19: You maintain a healthy amount of
stupidity. You are a failure, fall down a lot and
are a real hazard to yourself and to others.
You are probably a pet psychic.
20: You are Sarah Palin.

The anagram is solvable. I did not make it too easy, though. Internet searches probably won't help you. You will need to figure it out on your own.
The prize? If you can untie this Gordian knot, besides the sense of self satisfaction, you can have a star if you want.

Yeah, me two. I was thinking... someone I wouldn't want to invite. I wanted to score gud, guess I'm not a big smarta$$.
Amazing,
How smart are you
Vs
How stupid are you,
opposite sides of the anagram. I wonder how long it took to write. Also, I love the polarity/symmetry of it. Awesome work.

Re: Have Some Word Fun!
Also, upon further reflection, it occured to me:
"How smart are you?" revealed how stupid I was;
"How stupid are you?" revealed my intelligence in a better light.
"How smart are you?" revealed how stupid I was;

I do not believe anyone here is stupid. These are just mind game games, that 1. help sharpen the mind and 2. judge how well one can take tests, which does not judge how supid someone may or maynot be. AJ

Anagrams don't require college. They just need out of box thinking. If you go back through, there's a link to an online generator. I wonder to what extent authors, playrights, producers and historical figures have used them to encode information or to copyright ideas. I find language very complex, multilayered and interesting. In a way, exploring anagrams helps to demonstrate this. I just started looking at numerical values encoded in Bible and Torah. That is a whole other level of meaning. I posted on the number 42 after bantering allowed reference from Hitch Hikers Guide, that just fell into place. Hope you and the others don't mind such distractions. I find it quite invigorating for the mind.
