Brain teasers
Given that a few of the GeoExpats seem somewhat intellectually inclined after taking a recent Brain Type quiz in one of the chat threads, I thought of starting this new thread where we can post brain teasers .....gives us all something fun to do during the workday and still look like we're ruminating the latest work problem.

So here goes my first contribution:

Which 3-letter word forms 2 other words that are unrelated in meaning when "LESS" and "NESS" are added to the end? E.g, SOUND, SOUNDLESS, SOUNDNESS.

clue: foolish deponent

Ok, my brain teaser...why are people in general so friggin clueless? Ok not really in the same spirit, but still the answer eludes me and leaves me wondering!

Can you attach files in this? I have a great brain teaser but it's in an Excel spreadsheet because it has logos and stuff on it.

Laughing_Monkey will become famous soon enough
Seeing as excel can contain macros and they are potentially evil why dont you just take a screenshot and post that?

Tried it, no can do. Oh well ....tough luck ...it was a pretty good one too. A whole bunch of logos that you had to identify.

I'll see if i can find something else to take up your time with this afternoon.
