This test does not measure your intelligence, your fluency with words, and certainly not your mathematical ability.  It will, however, give you some gauge of your mental flexibility and creativity.  In the three years since the puzzle was developed, it has been found that few people could solve more than half on the first day.  Many reported getting answers long after the test had been put aside, at unexpected moments when their minds were relaxed; and some reported solving questions over a period of several days.

If you can solve any of the ones that I don't have, please e-mail me the answers.
