Chiana drinks beer, and lives next door to Crichton....
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Because books.

Okay, now I want to do this puzzle. Sadly, I will have to use either Sara's Barbies or her miniature Dora family.

Sara needs cooler toys.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Whew! Got it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Sara needs cooler toys.
Pfft. Sara's toys are by definition cool.

Me, too. (Er, I hope that *I'm* not in the 2%.)

Hurt your brain: Einstein's riddle.
I love stuff like that. It took me about 20 minutes, using a basic 5x5 grid once I established the colors.

Therefore, I submit that it's not that 98% of people aren't smart enough, it is that we are too lazy.
I think you're probably right. Since you don't have to guess to solve it, it should only be a question of time (and interest).

I walked to the library, drew a page's worth of art cards, and walked back, noticing that practically everyone in the neighborhood that can be outside, is.
It's 59 here.

Oh, I love those kind of puzzles--when I took the GRE the first time (which was the last time they offered it on paper) I hadn't studied, and didn't know they had a whole section with that sort of puzzles, and was all excited when I got to it and found that. Wheee! (I scored really well on that section, luckily, like a 790/800). Sadly, they took it away after that, so the next time I took it, on computer, no fun. Not that I've actually ended up applying to grad school either time...
