I guess I just mostly chime in with “Got it!” because I don’t want to bore everyone else who got it with my explanation of how I did it. That and, like Eileen said, it’s difficult to say how when it is so much trial and error. I too looked at 1 & 3 and then 2 & 4 going together and just tried a, b, & c until it worked — more or less.

Jacqui–I first read all of the questions and didn’t pay attention to the answers.

I saw that question 1 and question 3 were dependent on each other, so I chose the answers that made them work togehter.

From there, I tackled question 2; picking ‘b’ for q. 2 reinforced that ‘b’ was the right answer for q.2, so I went with it. Then the question 4 was a no brainer.

@Jacqui – For me, it was mostly trial and error, so it’s hard to discuss a strategy.
You pick an answer for the first question, run through and see if it works. I think I actually saw at number two that b) was B, so it made sense that B would be (wow) the most common answer, and I went from there.

I can’t figure it out :( Will someone actually talk out how they got the correct answer?

P.S. When people comment “Yay, I got it!” without any discussion of their work, I tend to think they didn’t… :/

Woo hoo! Got it!

Took a little bit – but when I finally got it – it seemed so obvious! :)

Finally, Sandy. I got an answer to the Brain Game! Usually, I come away from the Brain Game feeling a little less smart.
