Equation Brain Teasers

[CrimsonTide4]

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.

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?

I am CTFU at ALL of your wrong answers. I am CTFU @ the originality as well.

Aaliyah said it best -- "If at first you don't succeed, dust yourself off and try again."
