Yeah, so I found out. Did you see the mensa word association
test? I got 26 out of 33, some of them are real buggers.
Like: 9 P in S A ???
The original was from South Africa So I put in
9 pricipalities in South Africa but that didn't fly.
There is one that goes
3 W on a T
which is "3 wheels on a tricycle" but other combinations can
play on that one like 3 wires on a transistor
which is a true statement but not commonly known kind of thing
and now there are transistors without wires at all so its only
partially true.
