MENSA Teaser
It would take too much time to explain the picture above, but let’s just say Fenris and The Mayor will never forget that weekend in Vegas.
Out of all the answers from last week’s MENSA Teaser, Mr Fnortner was the only unit to correctly identify every question. Impressive. Mr Fnortner must have a brain the size of my colon. Huge-like. Not blocked, but huge.
Congratulations, again, Mr Fnortner, you are the MENSA-headed winner of the week (MhWotW).
Yes, you’re the MhWotW!
Clare is at home today, sick with the flu, so The Mayor is playing male nurse, comforting the poor child and trying to get her back on the road to recovery. It’s a bumpy road, a road filled with potholes. And vomit. Having painted that lovely picture, let’s get on with some MENSAing.
1) Which of the following words would best fit in with this sequence: 1) Chime, 2) Cherish, 3) Wits 4)…
- waffle
- watch
- whisker
- three
2) What word can be found if one fills in the missing letters: S_ _ _u_p_ _ _ _i_n?
3) Two flagpoles are each 100 feet in height. A rope 150 long is strung between the tops of the poles. At its lowest point, the rope sags to within 25 feet of the ground. Exactly how far apart are the two flagpoles?
And so starts another week of MENSA Teaser. We have been going at this for five years now. Count ‘em, FIVE! Within that time The Mayor has watched you grow into adults, fine upstanding men and women. You’re voices have changed, your bodies strengthened. This is what we call in the blogging business a *moment*. I am so glad you’re here to share it with me.
Good luck to this week’s participants, may you all do as well as resident victor, Mr Fnortner.

Thank you for the kind words. I’m not sure about this week’s answer for #1 simce I’ve been up for 24 hours and my brain is fried.
1) I like the sound of whisker, but I don’t know why.
2) Sesquipedalian is the word, and it took some research in the dictionary to find it.
3) There is no distance between the poles: 75′ down and 75′ back up leaves a 25′ gap at the bottom.

[...] Winner of the Week you have to have a giant head. Mr Fnortner, G Bush and Rob Huck were all MENSA-headed Winner’s last Week and I have to say, if anything they have rather smallish heads. I suppose though that they have [...]
