Brain Teasers from a Word Perfect Magazine

Now, I may have to do thids in HTML and not Word Perfect and I don't even have WP on this desktop (have it on my laptop but I don't feel like moving from one puter to another).

You have to interpret each of thrdr. For example, the first one is:

LIP
Tiptoe
LIP

The answer is Tiptoe Through the Tulips.

You have to think about grammer and word play. OK? Got it?

I'll add more as I go along - which may be tough since they need an editor, preferably a Word Processor and I am going to have to try them with bare bones HTML. Here goes....

GROUND
FEET FEET
FEET FEET
FEET FEET

YOU
JUST
ME

Six feet underground.

Just between you and me.

Standing
Miss

Misunderstanding.

Alright, I'm going to leave for a while because this is the kind of stuff I get addicted to. :o

Well, if you look at the top one - Tiptoe Through the Tulips, think of word play

and the tulips are between the word LIP. Tiptoe is in the middle so you are tiptoeing through the tulips?

Does that help?

Try the 2nd one- think of the no of times feet is there - that is my hint, lol

Iknow, I get addicted to this stuff too.

Yep,. yep- yo0ui are GOOD!!! (when I 1st saw misunderstanding, I thought you meant you misunderstood, duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Time for me to take a break too - and I might se if I can just scan the image, it would be faster!)
And sorry for misunderstanding you!! You are excellent at word play!! I can see why you would be addicted, lol

Six feet under instead of underground?

No, no - you were right it is six feet underground!! (I had not seen your replies - too wrapped up copying the $%^$ words, lol)

Oh it should ha ve been 5 I think, you know the saying in French at least, I swear ion a stack of bibles. Not sure the no matters come to think of it. I can think of a joke in French my bf made one day when he asked a witness if he would swear that sur cinq bibles - it is not for this site tho, lol

searching hi searching lo :D

yes to between jobs. :) and banana split, lol and split personality

Yes, the ones are right J's mom - which ones can't you see- I will type them in.

I think some of these were already solved, but in post #53, the answers for some are

box car, ring around the rosy, searching hi and lo, long underwear, rock around the clock, go stand in the corner, falling in love, head over heels, split personality, an afterthought

post 80 answer = jack in the box

One of the ones hard to see: (sorry, it should not be so long but I think that gives you a basic idea- can do it over if you like but I am going to have to get going soon, sigh!)

Yes, jack in the box is correct!! :thumbs up

as are the others - all from the image that is difficult right?

Did anyone get or do the

Egg
Egg

one - did I even type it?

(Kind of pun there, lol - as in it's weasy)

yes, I can't see the one in the bottom right corner, DRESSED is clear but what is under it? it is prob something like under or over dressed. I think that one might be 'I was in the dark' but not sure.

One of the ones hard to see: (sorry, it should not be so long but I think that gives you a basic idea- can do it over if you like but I am going to have to get going soon, sigh!)

Ring around the rosy

Yeah Joey's M, I think the searching one may have been posted and solved twice. (unintentionally - and I think whoever solved did not see the 1st one). And your pthers are right too.
Did we do the pineapple one - think that is all that's left - except for other ones in older Word perfect magazines which I can look up or have a Resident or intern look up (How that's that for a great job at work, lol?). I am sure my office mgr has a bunch more- she is still teaching word processing and medical secretary terms et al (They still call the course Med Secretarial techniques, can you imagine, lol?)

It reads

DRESSED
bit

KEET-KEET = parakeet

pair of keets is rights. :thumbs up Very good!!! Or however parakeet is spelled, lol

a bit under dressed

One more - Hope this makes sense, the graphic et al I mean.....

Yes- a bit under dressed. there are a couple in the hard to see ones we have not solved yet. I'll try to recreate them.

railroad crossing

the pinapple one in post 50 is pinapple upside down cake.

One more - Hope this makes sense, the graphic et al I mean.....

Railroad crossing

Did we do/get the Go Stand one?

That READING one is hard to see, it looks like it is more than just letters.

I don't think anyone has gotten the CHEST one yet or the one with 2:30 am in it

yeah, it's go stand in the corner

Here is the Go Stand one, lol

Oops,. OK, you got it then, lol

The Reading one? Did we get that one?

It is just that is it a little hard to see.

GM (Great Minds) re the Reading one, lol Yes, the RR is a railroad crossing - of course, lol

If I can imporat ASCII chars here, I can do the Reasing one over - and no freakin wonder no one can see it on that graphic!!!

R׀E׀A׀D׀I׀N׀G

andf yeah, it IS Ring around the rosy and what was the other one- oh, eggs over Easy, lol There is also one about a pineapple but maybe I can save it? Do you want ,me to look in some of the other old Word Perfect and puzzle books I have here - usually use them in doin strategic planning or Hospital and med staff Board retreat stuff- just as an opener to make sure everyone is awake, lol (esp me - I am so NOT a morning person!!)

This issue has a cute macros for ppl to try - if anyone is into that. (This is old (1994 which is ancient in computer terms) but the c\challenge is to create a macro that creates an 8 by 8 checkerboard with alternate squares shaded. The macros must use a FOR loop or a FORNEXT loop to shade the cells/.

Can you tell I have a cross appointment at the computer science dept, rolf!! Tho I am supposed to be going mostly nanotech but I like to hear all their other stuff too, lol

reading in between the lines!

and K, you are right about the Go Stand in the Corner. I better get going- too much work and I am way behind now!!!! If anyone is interested in more, I will get someone to look them up ir I;ll do it myself if I have time tomorrow. Just met me know- I get addicted to this stuff too, alas!! (If anyone is still here- ,maybe I am talking to myself, never usually a good thing, lol)

You are correct Kristen!! That one was impossible to get looking at that graphic!!! Bravo!!!!! :thumbs up

it's pineapple upside down cake. We are missing the CHEST answer (post 75) and the 1111 2:30 am answer

Sure, post more when you can, these are fun, thanks! Don't worry you aren't talking to yourself yet. :laughing:

Sunken chest and "Once upon a time" (I know, they are kind of groaners, sigh!) :rolleyes:

And I will try if I get home early enuf or have any time at all during lunch (an unlikely story but hope springs eternal, lol) - some of my young patients might want to do it, they are better with computers than most of the older doctors anyway - just don't let the latter know that, lol

OMG... ok, thanks for those answers, they were bugging me!

Uh oh CK you started someting serious, I just had to find more, here's a link....
