First of all - thanks for visiting last week. I wanted to tell you that the little colored tomatoes were de-li-cious!
And now for something completely different ...
Todays Thursday Thirteen is a little test and a great exercise for your brain. If you want to participate, take a piece of paper before reading on - just a normal sheet - and a pen, and get ready to flex those brain-muscles. This test is time limited. You've got 2 minutes, so set your alarm-clock and be honest ;) Got everything? Then go:
- Read through all the instructions before you do anything!
- Write your first and your last name in the upper right corner of the sheet.
- Draw 5 small squares on the upper part of the sheet.
- Pencil a * (star) into each suare.
- Sign the sheet with your last name in the lower right corner.
- Turn the sheet upside down and write down your date of birth.
- Put the sheet back in to normal position and write your first loves name underneath the squares.
- Write the letter "X" into the lower left corner of the sheet.
- Draw a circle around the "X" you've just written.
- Use the lower part of the sheet to solve the following calculation: 6+9-3x3-17
- Underline the result twice.
- Now add together all the numbers on your sheet (don't forget you brith date!)
- And now, after you've first of all read all the instructions, just do what you are asked for in point No.2 !
I hope you enjoyed the test and succeeded in passing it :)
Happy TT!
Luv Julia

CUTE! I'd seen it before, but I bet a lot of people go through the motions before they read it all LOL!
I first saw that a few years ago and was completely taken in by it!
I remember a teacher handing out something like this as a test - years and years ago. I failed!

I think I failed. I can't figure it out. What am I missing? I'll have to give it a try again. Fun TT!
Oh...I almost forgot to read the whole thing...but then little light recalled instruction #1...

Cute.....took me a minute! Happy TT.
It sounds fun but there is no sheets of paper to be found in this house...hmmmmmm. Happy TT:)
Good thing I always read instructions first. hehe. THat was a good one. Happy TT! :)
We use this with the scouts often
Oops --- and I've actually done this with students and still missed the first step --- mark me down as stupid! :)
Ack! I got halfway through before I remembered instruction #1! At least I didn't get all the way to the end.
ha ha, that's funny! For ONCE I followed instructions and read the instructions first ;-)

I did this one before and found it rather intersting. It sure made a great TT.
My TT this is week is about the 13 Myths of Sarah Palin

I'm embarrased to say that I was confused at first. I took reading the other comments to realize what I had done. Oy vey!
Yay! For once I read the instructions first!
I just wanted to let you know that I have some bling-bling for you at my place :o)
Have a wonderful weekend!
I saw this before and it's a very good lesson in teaching kids to follow directions. I'm one of those strange people who does what I'm told so I did read this all the way through as instructed when I first came across it.
I remember this from high school. I was one of the few that didn't do the whole thing!
I got caught by this many years ago, around 1977... my junior high American history teacher was fed up with our class not listening to instructions so he gave us like a 300-question test like this. I failed. However, it did teach me a lesson, and you didn't get me today, ha ha ha!
