Here a puzzle that appeared in a The Friday magazine of Gulf News recently:
Five people stood in the queue at the post office all facing forward along the line towards the counter. From his position in the queue, Alan could see both Mr. Irving and Mrs. Foster.

So now reconstruct the queue.

What would be YOUR answer to the the question:
How many Mensans does it take to change a lightbulb?

My idea: Are they trying to capitalize on the name of Intel’s upcoming CPU range ‘Core i7′. (I remember AMD did the same, capitalizing on Windows XP by naming their CPU range AMD Athlon XP in 2000/2001).
