Brain-Teasers

Love these things!

from JoeUser Forums
Each day as I head into Curves, there is a dry erase board with a brain-teaser written on it. Sometimes they're simple, others are more challenging. Either way, for a few minutes, they take my mind off the fact that it's 6am and I'm not only up, but exercising. Ugh.



Here are a few of the ones I remember... do you have any to share?





1) HARMgood









2) ......mad

mad you mad

...... mad









3) home..........................home











4) gr12"ave









5) ESGG










6) POLMOMICE

That would be "Pillow".

Best I can come up with for the last one so far is "Back over 3 times"... not much of a phrase unless you combine it with "POLMOMICE" from the original post.

ROFL...

Eleanor Roosevelt... EXCELLENT. Never would have gotten that without googling it.

How about this one? (ignore the dots - they're for spacing)
