I find "word unscramble" ones the hardest.

For example these following words unscamble to make real words. Given enough time we can work them out, but the IQ test is timed.

OLSENS
TTFU
TMROO
PLUDED
NTMEOM


If I have a multiple choice of any kind, it serves as a pointer. If it's left up to me to do the unscrambling without any tip, I fail miserably.

For instance: I could undo Tuft in your example because I noticed my avatar says I'm a 'tufted titmouse'. If I had not noticed that, I would not have a clue.

What really ticks me off is that I grasp very high concepts without difficulty. But, I struggle with the simple things.

I like to see the whole thing and then get really down to the quantum level of detail and just get lost in that sort of thing.

Weren't the Olsens neighbors of the Ingalls? And 'pluded sounds like slang, as in, "My 'puter overheated and just 'pluded". The rest I figure are just acronyms...pretty sure 'TTFU' can be found @Urban Dictionary. ;-)


Very Funny. :D
