PostWed Aug 18, 2004 3:16 pm    1 question IQ test

This is a One Question IQ test..

There is a mute who wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action
of rushing one's teeth, he successfully expresses himself to the
shopkeeper and the purchase is done.

Now if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses,
how should he express himself? Think about it first before scrolling down
for the answer...

He opens his mouth and says. "I would like to buy a pair of
sunglasses."


If you got this wrong...please go dig a hole and hide.

That is rather easy if you think it through. But I know several people who would fail that.

Well, I got it wrong. I can admit it. I was thinking since most blind people wear sunglasses, that he would take them off and point to them or something.

That is so mean... I didn't really try to think about it though. Hahahahaha. I was thinking he would motion like he's putting on glassesfor some weird reason. But I thought... "How would be be sure he was facing the clerk?" hahahahaha

I have another one...

A plane crashes on the canadian/american border. Where do you bury the survivors?

Indeed. I have a million of those.

"A dentist is going to sleep. It is 8 o'clock. He needs to wake up at 9 o'clock in the morning. So he gets in bed, winds up his clock, and goes to sleep. How much sleep does he get before the alarm clock goes off?"

I almost got it wrong, but than thought it through and ended up answering correctly . Its, just a basic trick by making you read about the mute.

Blind people can sometimes have strange looking eyes, or maybe no eyes at all... there are many diffrent reasons actually

Defiant's quiz was a bit strange...r A dentist? well in that case, I would guess... 1or 13...?

The alarm doesn't go off coz he didn't set the alarm, he just wound the clock!

Am I right? Am I right??
