INTELLIGENCE TEST:
For The Thinking Mind
1. A lady read a book,turned the light out and went to sleep. In the morning, when she saw in the
newspaper that a ship had sunk drowning all on board (even though she didn't know anyone
on the vessel), she commited suicide. WHY?
2. A young man entered a bar and asked for a glass of water. The person behind the bar produced
a gun and pointed it at the man. He replied, "thank you," and walked off. WHY?
3. Imagine you are driving a Mercedes at 100 mph. The steering lock. The doors locks. The
brakes fail. You can't get out! Your heading for a 1,000 foot cliff! What do you do?
4. 2+2+5=247. Add one small line to make the sum correct.
5. Luke had it before. Paul had it behind. Ladies have it in the beginning, but only once.
Abraham Lincoln had it twice. Boys cannot have it all. Doctor Lowell had it before
and behind. He actually had it twice as bad behind as he had it in front. What is it?
6. A man lives in a six story building. Every day he comes down the elevator and goes to work. He
takes the elevator to the third floor and walks the remaining three floors. WHY?
7. A man once broke all of the Ten Commandments. He lied, stole,(the value of the article is irrevelant),
lusted--which the bible says is "to commit adultry in his heart," failed to love God above all
else, failed to honor his parents as well as to keep the sabbath holy. He hated ( which God
sees as murder), failed to honor God's name, and he also "coveted," which means to want other
people's things. How could God, who is perfect and holy (and therefore by His very nature must
punish transgression of His Law), forgive him freely, and yet justice still be done? How can the
man avoid Hell and go to Heaven?
8. A man on horseback went on a two day trip. He left on Tuesday and arrived home on Tuesday. How
can this be?
