Asiacat Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I enjoy completing the Suduko problems challenges and scrabble challenges in the Bangkok Post and the Nation each day. The Pattaya Mail has decided to get in on the act and has published a whole page of "brain teasers". It must however consider it's readerships' intellect to be bordering on the Gazza/Beckham/Geordie level with such gems as:- 1. Crossword Puzzle On the end of your foot (3) Frozen water (3) Follows Autumn (6) Reply to questions (7) Where bees live 2. Number patterns Complete the sequences a. 20,30,40,? b. 6, 12, ? ,24 c. 30, 40, ? , ? Who the <deleted> writes this stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphrey Bear Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 My nine-year-old daughter likes them, but she doesn't understand the references to Gazza or Geordie. Please clerify the second one. I've explained about the two retarded English footballers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisurely Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Don't know about brain teasers, but last weekend we were down in Pattaya and I picked up your local paper. In the sits vac portion was an advert for help wanted. One of the requirements was 'must be male or female'. What else would you be, a mop?

Artisan Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 (edited) Grow your own dope...............plant a Geordie!! Those Pattaya Mail brain teasers have got me......I'm really stumped! Does anyone know where the term 'Geordie' originates from? (Edit: I'm a Geordie, born and bred, and I know why I'm called a "Geordie" or a "Takem" but not a "Makem"!! ) Edited March 24, 2007 by Artisan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
