Brain Game: A Blank Look
by Sandy Wood - June 24, 2009 - 7:30 AM

THE SOLUTION:

COUNTRY CLUB, BASEBALL DIAMOND, PURPLE HEART, DAVID SPADE.

The four words used to fill in the blanks are the four suits in a deck of standard playing cards.

Did you come up with a different solution? Please post it in the comments. Thanks!

  1. Hahahahaha my guess was:

    Country Lane
    Baseball Game
    Purple Rain
    David Blaine

    They kind of rhyme. It made sense to me.

  4. I’m seconding Reese and Diana, same for me as well.

  5. Heh heh… I knew there would be at least one other legit answer. More will probably crop up by day’s end, I bet.

  6. Oh wow, this is the first one I’ve actually gotten! Just had to share my excitement. :)

  7. I got the same thing as Reese too except I used Name instead of Lane. However, I’m not sure I’d call it legit. The suits are much much better.

  8. Congratulations, Monica! Doing the Brain Game each morning does pay off eventually, eh?

  9. Easiest one yet, figured the solution before I even looked at the rules.

  10. I agree that the real answer is much better than the rhyming one. But once I started singing Purple Rain in my head, there was no chance of thinking of an alternative!

  11. I was a little less creative and came up with:

    Country Star
    Baseball Allstar
    Purple Star (Chinese Astrology)
    David Starr (Nascar Driver)

  12. Matt, yours is a good solution, because you had to dig into some really obscure stuff.

    I came up with:

    Country Roads
    Baseball Diamond
    Purple Rain
    David Lee Roth

    What they have in common? Nothing.

    I didn’t try very hard.

  13. I came up with “Baseball Diamond” and “Purple Heart” and assumed the other two would end with shapes as well, but for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out what a “Country Square” was, or who “David Triangle” might be.
