Mensa Convention

At a Mensa convention in San Francisco several of the Mensa members went out for lunch at a local cafe. When they sat down, one of them discovered that their salt shaker contained pepper, and their pepper shaker was full of salt. How could they swap the contents of the two bottles without spilling any, and using only the implements at hand? Clearly, this was a job for Mensa minds. The group debated the problem and presented several ideas until finally, they came up with a brilliant solution involving a napkin, a straw, and an empty saucer. They called the waitress over, ready 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 has pepper.” But before they could finish, the waitress interrupted: “Oh sorry about that.” She leaned over the table, unscrewed the caps of both bottles and switched them. There was dead silence at the Mensa table. Kind of reminds you of Washington D.C. or Ottawa Canada, doesn’t it? Mensa is a national organization for people who have an IQ of 140 or higher. see also   College,  Government,  Inspiration  &  Work  Sections 3D Chess Little Johnny Skips Two Grades Math Watch Mensa Invitational - Letter Game   Tree Sorrow OCD Electrician 2021 Hooters Owl and Birds of Prey Calendars Redneck Shower Head Wise Moves Fox Hunting Madness Emperor Penguins The Side Effects of Veganism Stair Railing Electrician Cold Faucet Make Womb For Baby Hardtail Bike Birth Control Kit Come-Back Line Of The Year Duck Gears Chewing Gum Hazard Keyboard Seating Bent Over Whatchamacallit Car Gone To Market
