Mensa Quiz of the Day
« on: January 29, 2009, 11:50:27 AM »
All questions from "The Mensa Quiz A Day Book " by Dr. Abbey Salney
No googling please!


Sallie Lou likes sequoia trees but not evergreens.  She doesn't want either disease, but she'd rather have pneumonia than influenza.  She jokes facetiously but not humourously.  Does Sallie Lou shop stingily or abstemiously?

neither,she's out of control and likes everything big and plentiful, and in regards to her shopping habits she's probably an obsessive shopper with no concept of what money really is, and more than likely needs an intervention,rehab and a 12 step program to keep herself from running herself into dept to the point where she eventually finds herself homeless...

Geo's answer is very interesting but Migs is correct!


Sallie Lou likes words that contain all vowels.







Next:

The same four-letter word can be added to each of the following words to make a new word or a common phrase.  What is the word?

BOUND    PROOF    TREE    LESS    BIRD
