I'm not sure if this makes me a total idiot or not, but I figured it out on the first try. Reminded me of all those idiotic games we used to play on school field trips - "Grandma likes coffee but she doesn't like tea", and so forth. |

Hmmmmmmm.....I wouldn't call you an idiot, at least you were able to read the instructions. J/K
I battled this for a couple of days. I had to really try my best to think like an 8 yr. old to finally get it. |

Semantics is the STUDY of meanings. Not being petty about which one or the other is being used. Talk to my friend Merriam...he knows. I was simply being petty about which word was being used. I wasn't studying the meaning of them. Pettiness. Quite a bit cheaper than semantics.

Thanks for the answer! I was about to call MENSA. Wow, I must be a friggin' genius. I couldn't figure it out to save my life.
(Of course, I only tried for about 10 minutes- I didn't say I had a lot of patience)  |

"semantics the study of words and their meanings" - Macmillan English Dictionary
My point was that it all depends on how you define the terms WORTH and HAS.
Worth - adj. - Equal in value to something specified
Has - v. - to be in possession of
They both mean the same thing when relating to this game. |

I finally had a chance to try out this game. It took me a couple of days to figure it out. Now how do I reach Mensa? |

I believe I figured the puzzle out, but I still dont understand what I'm actually doing that's getting me a 90% accuracy. How can you fit that in with the Professor's statement?  |

I just wanted to add, I think this game is stupid. Really STUPID. (Yes, yes...part of that comes from the fact that I couldn't figure it out, but what fun is a game you can't figure out on your own???)
Stupid game! |

It's fun for those who get to watch you rend your clothes and pull out your hair while trying to figure out the game? |
