Subject: Questions from GOW's Blog
Date: Dec 03 08

I have been consistently posting riddles and questions on my blog, but in order to expand the challenge for more people, I will post the questions here.

Keep an eye out for new questions on this post.

367 is board game movies. I don't want to say 'flop' but....

368 is Etch a Sketch. I thought this was particularly hard, good job salami.

369 is CLOSE. Capacitors measure in coulombs over volts. You need to add something that is volt seconds to get the final answer.

370 is Easter.

371 is VCR and V-Chip.

372 are the Leatherstocking Tales.

369 Watts? Ampere?

369. I swear, as hard as I try, I will never be able to internalize electro-magnetism. Maybe because Physics class was right after lunch. But I think the answer is an amplifier.

adams627 369 is the "flux capacitor" time machine from Back to the Future. Clever question!

369 is the flux capacitor. Magnetic flux is measured in volt seconds, and capacitance is measured in coulombs per volt. The two volts cancel out, and you are left with coulomb seconds.

Coming off a break, and my brain is out of it. 6 tomorrow.

lol, it didn't take me long to get "Etch-a-Sketch". I figured that "ask" would not be together, so I figured it would be something that ended with a followed by a word that started with Sk. I looked in the dictionary for "sk" words, and you'd be amazed how little there are of 6 letter "sk" words... Anyway, "sketch" was the first word I found, and then I saw "etcha", thought "what the heck"? Then put it together and it was easy. lol.


I'm just happy I got one right. I don't get a lot of these questions; they're so difficult for me! lol.

And here are those questions.


373. At golf, this action is a really good thing. At sea, this action is a really bad thing. What action?

374. Take a word that is often seen on signs. Add an ‘E’, and rearrange the letters, and you get a word that is used in association with the first word, and is also often on signs. What are the words?

375. The SAT currently has 10 different sections, consisting of either critical reading, math, or writing. How many of those 10 sections do you know before going into the room that “Section __ has _______ on it”, where the first blank is the number, and the second blank is either critical reading, math, or writing?

376. What abode does the character who always has been eating/drinking something for the last 4 or so hours before he makes his entrance live in?

377. Take a 7-letter string that most people see everyday. If you add an ‘E’ and an ‘I’ between the 1st/2nd spots and the 4th/5th spots respectively, you now get a 9-letter string that everyone should be familiar with. What are the strings?

378. What word seen in recent news has several different spellings, some starting with a ‘K’, some a ‘G’, and others a ‘Q’?

great2beme 375- Critical Reading has 3 sections. Math has three sections which leaves Writing that has 4 sections I think.

Section 1-3 could be Critical Reading
Section 4-6 could be Math and
Section 7-10 could be Writing

373. Impact?

Let me clarify for these two:

The answer for 373 will look like "_____ing a(n) _______"

For 375, lets say Section 5 is always math. Then, before walking in, you would expect a math question on Section 5. How many sections do you know for sure that you are going to get a certain subject in that number?
