Motivational Monday

Welcome to summer!  Make it an amazing week everyone!

This week’s summer trivia:

1.According to U.S. agricultural statistics what three fresh fruits outsell all others during the course of summer?

a. grapes, blueberries and peaches

b. peaches, watermelon and tomatoes

c. tomatoes, watermelons and lemons

d. blackberries, blueberries and coconuts

2. Of these “summer-time” smells which one do social researchers say is most often found to stimulate pleasant memories in human beings?

a. coconut

b. cut grass

c. chlorine

d. charred hamburger

And, to keep us thinking, a little brain teaser:

1. A peasant farmer toured the farmer’s market to sell his corn. Because he had only one sack at his disposal, he decided to put barley into one half of the sack, tied the middle part and filled the other half with wheat.

At the market, he met a buyer who wanted to buy the barley which was the sack’s bottom. Coincidentally, the buyer had one sack and did not want to exchange sacks because his sack was bigger and relatively new. How did the farmer and the buyer get the barley from one sack to the other without having to pour the grain somewhere else?

Last week’s answers to the brain teaser:

  1. One. If he combines all his haystacks, they all become one big stack.
  2. Incorrectly (except when it is spelled incorrecktly).
  3. Billie lives in the southern hemisphere.
