Jeremy's 'Mensa is sh*t' Challenge

[Alan Medic]

I got this tear off a day type calendar last Xmas for my son which he never used. Each day there is a Challenge with different difficulty ratings. If you want to have a go, the first correct answer can select a date for the next one. Here's January 2nd (DR2):

Which two letters can be attached to the beginning of the given words to give six longer words?

EASE EAT OWL AFTER ILL OWING

[Jeremy]

GR

[*Bob*]

B and L.

Making "Blease", "Bleat", "Blowl", "Blafter", "Blill" and "Blowing".

Next!

[Jeremy]

Mensa is shit. The only Mensa members I've known have been borderline retarded.

Was that Gr an abbreviation of growl Jeremy? I've never knowingly met a member of Mensa. Would you like me to change the thread title?

Well done *Bob*. You need to give me a date for the next one.

Bloctober the Bleleventh? Oh sorry, you meant *Bob*...BL-fuck!

I've got one for you first, Alan:

Jack has sixteen beans and Jill has twelve. Jack plants half his beans and a quarter of them germinate and grow into full plants. Each plant bears half a dozen beans. If Jack gives half his crop to Jill, what colour socks is Jill wearing?

[maxxi]

BLochre?

[Alan Medic]

17, no doubt
