Good job rr - all your answers are what Will Shorz had in mind.
Anyone ready to get the ones left?
It boggles my mind how quickly the contestant challenged with these on the air got them - boom, with almost no thought at all.
I wonder why these - as far as I know - haven't been put into a book? (Uri - is there such a Will Shorz book?
I get a kick out of these.
Anyone have any thoughts on these type of challenges?
