1. Hey hey, got it. By process of elimination, Peter is the only one who can be sitting on barstool #1. (Is he still wearing that cool hat?) Then, there’s Micky, Davy and Mike.

   Why are they drinking milk? Shouldn’t they be swilling Kool-aid?

2. I got pretty good at this from studying up for the GRE. I was so proud at getting this one right. :-D

4. True, Buddz, Kool-Aid would have been a great choice. But I was thinking milk (in case there were some Kellogg’s products nearby).

   K-E-double-L… c’mon, you know the rest.

5. Isn’t Micky actually sitting next to 3 Monkeys? Two on his right, one on his left = 3

6. Oh, for Pete’s sake, Mental Floss. You’re smarter than to fall for the old “they were pretending to play their instruments!” hokum. Yes, on the first album, only Mike was playing his instrument. But from then on, the boys DID play their instruments. Why? They had to learn how. Three of the 4 (Peter, Mickey, Mike) were lead guitarists, yet only one was needed for the band, and Mike had the most experience. But Peter was playing Greenwich Village regularly when he auditioned, and Mickey had a band in San Fernando Valley. They WERE musicians.

7. Mike’s the one with the hat buddz :)

   loripop, you beat me to that comment. I love the Monkees and it makes me sad whenever they’re relegated to nothing but “the Prefab Four.”

8. Lori, I know well the band played their instruments later on. ‘Twas just a joke on that notoriety.

   Heck, I’ve even watched “Head” four or five times, if there’s any question. :)

9. Davey, Micky, Mike, Peter. Either this was very easy or I am THE SMARTEST MAN ALIVE!!!! I’ve got one for you: A father and his son are in a horrible car accident. The father dies on impact and the son, seriously injured is taken to the local hospital for surgery. The doctor takes one look at the boy and says, “I can’t operate on him, it’s my lover”. Now, figure THAT out!

10. I got this one right away. I enjoy solving the Logic Problems that are in puzzle books like Dell & Penny Press which are much more complex. (Yes, I’m a puzzle nerd.)

    Bryan – The doctor is a woman. That is an old joke that capitalizes on sexism, assuming that people will automatically think the doctor is a man. Usually though, the Dr. would say “He’s my son”, hence the need for the father to have died.
    (Also you might want to re-check your answer.)
