Great going! 😎 Now, I will forward the next round of the quiz... Hehehehehe. Now it might get tougher. Let's see who can crack it! 😊 Hope you guys have been enjoying it to the max! 😉

Hey guys, try this game also. The beauty of such games is you do it by yourself and don't try to look for answers posted by various members. Let's have some mind-teasing fun.

Here we go again...

The following questions provide several words. All but one have something in common: a certain word can be placed in front of each to yield a new, different word. Choose the word which does not share this property.

For example:

Draw, Hold, In, Gate, Out

Draw

Hold

In

Gate

Out

I don't know

In this case, the answer would be "gate." All the others become new words when the word "with" is placed in front of them.

Now find the common beginnings here:

1. Like, Down, Long, Jacket, Line

Hello everybody, commendable response.

Now here's a new one:

Game Series-3

Try this one... game called "Scattegories."

It goes like this:

I am giving you the letter "E" from the English alphabet for this game series. The objective is to find words as per the categories listed below that start with the randomly selected letter within a defined period of time (usually 2 to 3 minutes). For example, if the category is "Kinds of Wines," and the selected letter is "P," "Pinot Noir" would be an appropriate choice and would give you 1 point. In terms of additional rules, if you select an answer that is composed of two words and both of them start with the target letter, you get 2 points. For example, if the category is "Types of Software Programs" and the target letter is "P," if you chose "Power Point," you would get 2 points. If you can't think of an answer, you can always leave it blank; however, if you select an answer that at least one other person has also selected, your answers cancel each other out, and for that particular category, you both get no points.

As there is no time limit for that, and the game can be easily done by our very known tool 'Googling,' but try not to use this tool and set a time of 10 mins.

I will rate the answers on coming Tuesday.

Here are the categories for this game:

1. Types of food
2. Music styles/types
3. Trees
4. City names
5. Animals
6. Famous Actors
7. Book names/titles
8. Sports
9. Types of clothing
10. Car parts

Okay, folks, let's get those creative juices flowing and go for it!

Let's have some fun HR folks.

Cheers,

Suryakant
