Mindbender Master List (thru 145 w/answers)

Post by ~Hippolyte~ »

Admittedly, I haven't been keeping track of all the Mindbenders. But I found many of them both humorous and educational. So I wondered, was there an easy way to review all of them (through 134 at least) without visiting 134 threads?

Sadly, I didn't find an easy way, so I created one. Below are listed the first 134 Mindbenders, with the answers. All in one tidy, little post!
I've "hidden" the answers by posting them in white. Simply high-light any of the answers, or the entire post, in order to see the answer. (just act like you're going to copy 'n paste).

I may or may not update this list, kinda depends on how much more time I have. If anyone else wants to post the question and correct answers, that'd be great!

I found the white text hides better against the lighter blue background. So this post was just to occupy space, in the darker blue.
