    Th e One Question IQ Test

    Here's a one question IQ Test to help you decide how you should spend the rest of your day...

    There is a mute who wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth, he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.

    Now if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?

    Think about it first before looking down for the answer...

    He opens his mouth and says. "I would like to buy a pair of sunglasses"

    If you got this wrong - please turn off your computer and call it a day.

    I've got mine shutting down right now.

    It's an old English joke (old english firemen tell it) And its actually the very same joke as yours dimples (academics say that there are only six jokes in the world). This and yours are distractive in nature.

    I don't think I left enough think time. Try this:
    Q: Why do firemen wear red braces?

    [stop here and think for half a minute before looking at the answer

    and most people start wondering about the color red

    (in your joke the trick was to have the listener think about his/her hands) here one starts thinking mmm Red for safety? Red so they can find them in a hurry? Red to match the fire truck? Red so they'll stand out if stolen?]

    A: to hold their pants up

    clear as mud?

    For the Americans: 'braces' are suspenders.

    OK now I get it. The thing that had me confused was the "braces".

    Thanks lisaBObeesa !
