Brainteaser Time!

[Friday]

I'm teaching my little kiddies analogies, and I came across one that makes absolutely no sense to me. I think the logic is faulty. Of course, I know the answer because I have the teacher key, but otherwise I would have had no clue.

I'm going to let you guys have a go at it, and see if it's a lousy example, or I'm just dense. Okay, here it goes:

scrub:clean::bald:____

That reads: scrub is to clean, as bald is to _______

Have fun, and good luck TKers!

Scrub is either a noun or a verb, but bald is an adjective. You failed at your own test. The only way this works is if scrub is an adjective, as in "you scrubby cunt".

So here's a new one:

Poland:annex::Jews&homosexuals:______

 

[eloisel]

bald as to shave

 

[I Love Cunt]

I'm thinking bubbles
something mean
Mr

 

[Donovan]

The answer is "sore", the connection is action:result. See the following sentence.

"First we scrubbed until we were clean, then we bald until we were sore."

That was way too easy.

Nope. Here's the answer:

scrub:clean::bald:hairless

The only thing I can figure out is that they are both synonyms of the other...

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

scrub:clean as bald:bald.

bald is an adjective and a verb.
