  4. LOL Cat, I couldn't figure it out even with the answer until I saw the second picture and then it was like duh. If I had a paper on a table in front of me, I might have been able to figure it out easier but who knows. Thanks, Lisa

  8. Nope, went through all the mathematical possibilities making it difficult, instead of just looking for the simpler solution.

    1. That's probably why little kids passed it...they haven't learned how to make it difficult yet. ;)

  12. Yes, got it right away. This doesn't measure my smarts, though. In all fairness, I've spent my life around kids and puzzles and tricksters...and still get tripped up often enough. :-)

    Speaking of tricky little kids, off to watch a few now! Thanks, Cat. :-)

    1. My kids always enjoyed puzzles and word games and they would trip me up from time to time...my grands are now starting the same thing. ;)

      Hope you had fun with the tricky little ones.

  13. bad news is I failed
    good news is in reality I think I won because kindergarten is my favorite grade anyway so if I am going back to school it is where I would want to be :-)
