Brain Game: Really, Really Bad Rebus #11

For one of my birthdays as a child, I received the “home version” of the TV game show Concentration. I guess that’s what got me in to rebuses; the object of the game was to remove matched prizes on a board to reveal a rebus puzzle underneath. The player that solved the rebus won the prizes that he or she had collected. I miss the days when game shows were about the game and not the host. But anyway… here’s today’s Brain Game. Good luck!

HERE is the solution.

  1. Wow.

    I thought it was:

    WHO + LIBRA + WIG + LEI + MEXICAN SIX

    I suck at Rebuses.

  4. @Reese
    That’s a Spanish flag, not Mexican.

    These really are bad…

  8. Never, Ian? Not even a little bit fun?

  9. Ian a party pooper – these are about the only Brain Games I ever get right after enough staring and concentration (and googling “zodiac signs”).

  10. At least you figured out it was a zodiac sign! HA!

  11. Frig sorry guys, flags are not my strong point. Of course now that I’ve stuck my foot in my mouth I can picture the Mexican flag.

  12. You certainly did not lie about this one Sandie. It was REALLY REALLY Bad. But I enjoyed it just the same.

    Thanks.

  13. Oh and BTW, thank you all previous commentors for not revealing the answer.

    :)

  14. So I was the only one that got thrown off by seeing ‘seis’ as ‘Six Flags’?

  15. Like a train wreck you have to look, though you may regret it.
    I got it but I’m not sure if I’m proud because it is so really really bad.
    It did make me smile though

  16. I’m so bad at these but I love them anyway!

  17. @Sandy

    No, not at all fun. More logic puzzles would be great. These rebuses (or is it rebii) are horrible.

  18. Are they beyond you, Ian?

    posted by Josh on 7-15-2009 at 9:07 am

  19. Since I am not as brilliant as Ian who probably gets all those logic problems and stuff about sports teams right in 2.7 seconds, I enjoy these. Actually I think you should do more just to annoy him and make me feel smart.

  20. I got:

    HOOT + (some zodiac sign) + BUST + LEI + SEIS

    Even if I’d gotten each clue, the SEIS could’ve thrown me off, as it is not pronounced “SEE-ISS”
