All members of Mensa
have I.Q.s of at least 140.
At one Mensa
convention, several members at a local cafe noticed the shaker with an S on
top, for salt, contained pepper and their pepper shaker, with a P on top, was
full of salt. How could they swap the contents of the bottles without spilling
anything and using only the implements at hand? Clearly, here was the
marvellous Mensa mystery!
They presented ideas,
debated them, and finally came up with what they felt was a brilliant solution
involving a napkin, a straw, and an empty saucer.
They called the blonde
waitress over to dazzle her with their solution.
"Ma'am," they
said, "we couldn't help but notice that the pepper shaker contains salt
and the salt shaker contains..."
"Oh, sorry!"
interrupted the blonde waitress. "Here," and she unscrewed the caps
of both bottles and switched them.
