Equation Brain Teasers
 

I gave these to my 9th grade AVID class today and they did pretty well with them so I want to see how well my college educated cohort does with them.

I will give you all 10 to start with and post the answers of them by Wednesday or so.

These equation teasers will give you a quick mental workout. You may not solve all of them the first time you look at them, but you might finish them after you think about them for a few days. Each equation is comprised of initials that you must replace with words that will male them correct.

EXAMPLES: 26 = L of the A is 26 Letters of the Alphabet.
22 = F of D. S. T. is 22 FOUNDERS of DST. :D :cool:

Are you ready?
Let's see who knows their stuff.

1. 7 = W. of the A. W.
2. 1001 = A.N.
3. 12 = S. of the Z.
4. 54 = C. in a D. (with the J.)
5. 9 = P in the S. S
6. 88 = P.K.
7. 13 = S. on the A. F.
8. 32 = D. at which W. F.
9. 18 = H on a G. C.
10. 90 = D. in a R. A.

GOOD LUCK. Who's the smarty pants on GC?
:cool:

9=Judges of the Supreme Court
15=Men on a Dead Man's Chest
9=Squares in Tic Tac Toe
200=Dollars for Passing Go in Monopoly
8=Sides on a Stop Sign

I'll try to think of the others :p

Re: Re: Here's 10 more
 

I meant to write:
9=Justices of the Supreme Court

4+20 blackbirds baked in a pie

These still need to be solved
 

12. 10 = D in a T.N. (including the A. C.)
13. 7 = D with S. W.
17. 3 = S.Y.O. at the O.B.G.
18. 5 = T. on a C. (including the S. in the T.)

This took all my strength so I will be recuperating.

ONE LEFT to SOLVE!!
 

Good job ladies who have attempted and solved. Let's see if you all can get this one.

10 MORE but you still have to do #12
 

12. 10 = D in a T.N. (including the A. C.)

21. 3 = B.M. (S.H.T.R.!)
22. 4 = Q. in a G.
23. 24 = H in a D
24. 1 = W. on a U.
25. 5 = D in a Z.C.
26. 57 = H.V.
27. 11 = P on a F.T.
28. 1,000 = W. that a P is W
29. 29 = D in F in a L.Y.
30. 64 = S. on a C.

YES, I'm doing the easy ones
 

23. 24 = Hours in a Day
26. 57 = Heinz Varieties
29. 29 = Days in February in a Leap Year

21. 3 Blind Mice (See How They Run!)
22. 4 Quarters in a Game
23. 24 Hours in a Day
25. 5 Digits in a Zip Code
29. 29 Days in February in a Leap Year

Why do these seem easier?

CLUE for Number 12
 

Unfortunately that is not the acceptable answer.


AIGHT, by request of my beloved partner in crime :p I am going to give you all a clue for the elusive #12. You use #12 all the time and it involves numbers. Come on my college educated homies. :D

oh my goodness.
 

I can't believe I couldn't get this one.

I was kinda scurred there for a minute on #12 and the 4 Q in a G one.

Keep on keeping on. :cool:

All you have left to figure out are # 27, 28 and 30. :D

:D :D :D Thanks CT4. You didn't have to bust out the electric slide on me though.

I was driving myself crazy over number 12.

Anyway I'm through for today. I'll let someone else get 28 and
30.

30. 64=Squares on a Checker/Chess board.

10 MORE but you still have #28 to do
