How about a brain teaser?
This is a brain teaser that my mom gave to me when I was in high school, and I just remembered about it today. Google is an amazing thing--I searched for it and found it! Try to figure out as many as you can. I actually got all but two. DH got one of them, and I still am trying to figure out the last one. (However, I did do this 23-ish years ago, so some of it was probably still in my mind and made it easier for me.) Post back here how many you were able to get.
If you want the answers, I will give a link to it at the end. Honor system!

Re: How about a brain teaser?
Number 18 is killing me. Killing me, Jerry.
ETA: It was driving me so crazy, I had to look it up. Now that I know what it is, I feel stupid.
I got 24 on my first pass through, now to figure out the ones I didn't immediately get.
Although I don't always call these brain teasers just because they rely so much on cultural knowledge.
