For Christmas, my parents were given a Mensa calender with a puzzle for each day. They haven't opened it yet, but the sample question was: A toy shop prices toys on the whim of the owner: A doll is $12, a kite $15, a skateboard $34, and a ring toss $24. How much is a blackboard? My whole family has been working furiously on this puzzle, but even though we know the answer (it was printed on the box) we have no idea *why* $31 right Can anyone out there in RPCA land explain the solution? It will save the Greater Chapman Clan from going utterly bonkers. Yowie I can't wait to hear explanations for this one. Personally, my thoughts are a)that it says "on the whim", therefore one would not expect a pattern, and b) because the owner said? ;-) - Denise Brennasmeowmy |
