Dr.Brainteasers Brainteasers for Brainbusting Lovers
Welcome to my infamous, and never ending Brainteaser competition (ironically, ive never done this before). As you can see, I, am bored, and I have decided to start yet another topic. Should this topic be considered lame, and a good flaming is in order, I ask that my genitals be first on the chopping block, and my urinary problems be pointed out last.
Thankyou. Now, on with the show!
Rules! (And FAQ) (And Facts)
You little hellions need rules, or you'll ruin it for everyone. So, here they are, in order of when I think of them (otherwise known as thinkological order):
1. This is by far the most important rule:
If you know the answer to a brainteaser, DO NOT POST IT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! This will only ruin it for others. Only, and I mean ONLY post the answers when you know ALL the answers for certain, I ask that you confirm the harder ones with me (PM, dont post it, moron =D), because if you post the "answers" and one is wrong, not only do you not win, but you ruin it for everybody else.
2. No spanking the monkey during this competiton, please.
3. Cheating will be considered lame, and a good spanking will be at hand. Please (and I can only request this) dont go on the internet looking for answers, thats not being true to yourself or being fair to others.
4. All the Brainteasers are from my head, or from my trusty brainteaser book. Not from websites.
5. Each brainteaser will be given a difficulty rating, and a category (lateral or imaginative [or both!]) Ie. Some are about opening your mind, and others about problem solving. It will be interesting to note which type you find easier (feel free to post it)
6. Some of you may find this very easy, others may find it impossible, paying out others because they arent as "smart" as you is plain slack. This is, in no way, an IQ test, it was never intended to be, so dont interpret it as.
7. There will be more rounds, depending on how much I get flamed, if you like this sort of thing, so be it, if you dont, so be it, if your a Transexual, so be it. Opinions on how good or bad this comp is will merely cramp it up (id like to keep it nice and small). Posts about brainteaser questions (not spoilers!), possible suggestions or plain talk about brainteasers is encouraged. What im trying to say is, no spam eg. "This rox0rs m3h box0rs" or, "Gay".
8. People that go to my school will have an advantage (i cant help but put 2 of my favourites in here)
9. IMPORTANT! There are, no doubt, hundreds of answers to the brainteasers. WHAT I AM ASKING YOU TO DO IS GET "MY ANSWER". Coming up with stupid answers that somewhat fit, isnt the challenge. The correct answer will always be a simple one. If you think that my answer is stupid or doesnt work. STFU and die. My answers are final, end of story.
10. This list, is no doubt, incomplete, if I have left something out that you need or want to know, i will add it to my list.
Remember guys (and girls), this is just for fun! PM me if you think you have the answer, remember (I dont mind, im lonely anyway!). Now open up your mind and welcome yourself to the world of logic and reasoning.
(If you are entering yourself in this comp, it cant hurt to state that you are, just so that I get an idea of how many people are actually playing, and wether it was too easy, too hard, too short etc. )

Take away the letter that comes after O
Take away the 4th,5th and 6th letters
Take away X Y and Z
Take away the third letter and add Q
Take away T
Take away the seventh letter
Add the last letter
Take away H, and the letter that comes seven places before it
Take away the letter that comes before R
Add the letter that follows P
Take away R and P
Take away the remaining vowel
Take away the 3 letters that come after it
Take away N and the letter before it
Take away the last letter of the alphabet =D
Take away all the consonants in the word "stew"
What are you left with!
If you did that first go, pat yourself on the back

r-a-t-i-a-t
What is this word?
Good luck people!
I cant stress enough that you CONFIRM all the answers if you intend on claiming yourself as a winner (the winner gets a prize!). Remember, I would rather you PM me 100 times trying to answer a Brainteaser than I would you go and ruin it by posting answers or asking "is the answer *****?".
Please wait at least a day before you post the answers (assuming you know them). That gives us all a mighty fine chance.
It has come to my attention that this quiz was very lateral. The next one (if there IS a next one) will be more on the imaginative side, I swear!
