#3 threw me for a loop. I'm a propane kind of guy, so I missed that one.

#5 made me angry. So obvious, yet so well hidden. I didn't get this one either.

#1, #2, and #4 I figured out pretty fast. I guess I only have a 60% on this test. I passed, but just barely.

Thanks,

It was good to exercise the old grey matter.

Good for you Cainanite, I'm sorry to say I only got one correct - #2

I easily got numbers 1, 3, 4 and 5. I will not spoil it for others by posting what I thought was the solution for number 2, in my mind I did have a workable solution, but no, I was clearly missing it on "shoots her husband..." Odd thing, Mac got #2, and that was the one that clearly stumped me.

Number two may be an age thing – even though I'm old enough to think of Uncle Mackie as a kid. It's the only one that I had to puzzle over for a bit, before I realized that it referred to something from my childhood that's now obsolete. The others were simple.

The one that I got wrong was the Charcoal, the others were easy or at least the answer popped out at me.

I failed on 2 and 5. The second one, I thought, was about polygamy.

Oh, and in Russian, you can name 4 consecutive days this way. "Day after tomorrow" is a single word here.

OH WOW! That reminds me of the Greek word for tomorrow "avrio" and they too have one word for the day after tomorrow, "methavrio."
