New title for my fun little quizzes, thanks to Dave!
Just give them a try, tell me your answers and don't cheat by looking at other bloggers' answers. I will post the answers later.
1. When Jim was taking a stroll one day, he met his father-in-law’s only daughter’s mother-in-law. What did he call her?
2. Which set of numbers would most logically come next in the following sequence?
10 1 9 2 8 3 7 4 6 5 5 6 4 7 3 8 2
(a) 9 1 (b) 9 3 (c) 8 5 (d) 6 7
3. The names of three foods are mixed up on EACH of the following lines. The words are given with their letters in correct order, but each word is “interlettered” with the others. Unscramble the foods.
C F H R M E U E E I A S E T T
A P E P P A R L E P L S S U M S
4. Grandma looked up from her rocking chair and said, “As far as I can determine, there is only one anagram of the word TRINKET. What is it?”
5. Homonyms are words that sound alike, though they are spelled differently. (Example: to, two, too) One pair of homonyms has meanings that are precisely opposite, and need not be stretched. What are the two spellings of this homonym?
Have fun! Cya later :)

Ahh! you're making my brain hurt. I just blew out a neuron.

Aha! Most of the other commentators are giving only the obvious answers. There are hidden levels within your quiz. Here are my answers:
1. It would depend on what language he spoke. If it was setswana, he would call her 'Mma' if he spoke chichewa, it would be 'Amai'
2. Traditionally, bushmen in the Kalahari had no concept of numbers. This is mainly because there's not exactly many of anything in that desert, so there was less need for them to be able to count. For bushmen, there was either one of something, or there were more than one. A bushman would therefore answer this question thus:
More than 1, 1.
3. There's no need to de-interletter, as APEPPARLEPLSSUMS is how an Afrikaaner with a stutter might describe either apples or plums.
4. Did Grandma have her false teeth in? If not, she may have mispronounced the anagram. In that case, the answer could be just about anything.
5. Can you include homonyms in the 2,000 African languages?

Menzies ~ Very good answers! :)

My Dear Mr Mojoala,
Certainly not! Someone in Zomba market offered to sell me some Mzuzu Gold the other day. When I asked him if the bank gave a good exchange rate for it, he scarpered quickly, and it was only then that I cottoned on.
