Several of the Mensa members went out for lunch at a local café. When they sat down, one of them discovered that the salt shaker contained pepper & the pepper shaker was full of salt.
How could they swap the contents of the two bottles without spilling any & using only the implements at hand? Clearly this was a job for Mensa minds.
The group debated the problem, presented ideas & finally came up with a brilliant solution involving a napkin, a straw & an empty saucer.
They called the waitress over, ready to dazzle her with their solution. "Miss," they said, "We couldn't help but notice that the pepper shaker contains salt & the salt shaker…. “
But before they could finish, the waitress interrupted, "Oh! sorry about that."
She leaned over the table, unscrewed the caps of both bottles & switched them.
My feedback is people should be treated as people. Concrete boxes are for animals.

There was dead silence at the Mensa table.
Kinda reminds ya of the government, doesn't it.
Don't confuse IQ and education with common sense.
Albert Einstein failed his school entrance exam.
ReplyDeleteAlbert Einstein is arguably one of the most important and influential figures of physics in
the 20th century. One might assume he’d be good at traditional learning, but the physicist
and mathematician wasn’t exactly a whizz at school. After dropping out of his school in
Munich at 15, Einstein took the entrance exam for a polytechnic school in Zurich. He
flunked the botany, zoology, and language sections, but passed the math one, according to
History. Einstein kept studying and passed the exam the next year, although he struggled
before eventually graduating. Struggling in school didn’t prevent him from developing the
special and general theories of relativity and explanation of the photoelectric effect
show, per Biography. Einstein was also one of the people with the highest IQs in the world.

ReplyDeleteyou receive a loan of $200,000 from DBS. By the end of your 15 years, you may have to pay
back $$220,000(with interest) after selling your home. But after 15 years your property might
be worth $2.3 million👏 instead of the $2 million today. You still gain even after paying
the interest. It is something very rewarding for the bank and property owner👍. Simple and
straightforward.😊
