Can You Follow Direction?


Follow Instructions?
Please read all of the instructions before doing anything, you are allowed 3 minutes to complete this task.
  1. Find a pen and paper.
  2. Write your name at the top of the paper.
  3. Write the numbers 1 to 5, one per line.
  4. Draw five small circles beside #1.
  5. Put an "X" in the second and fourth circles next to #1.
  6. Write the word 'encyclopedia' beside #3.
  7. On the back of the paper multiply 7 x 9.
  8. Put an X in the lower right-hand corner of the paper.
  9. Draw a circle around the X you just made.
  10. Underline your name.
  11. Say your name out loud.
  12. Draw a circle around #4.
  13. Count the number of words in this sentence and write the answer beside #2 on your paper.
  14. Put a square around #1 and #5.
  15. Punch 3 small holes anywhere in the paper.
  16. Write your first name beside #4.
  17. Write today's date beside #5 on your paper.

Now wait a minute. Circle the encyclopedia and skip how many times? Okay, now how may X's on what side of the paper? And what's under the line? PEN?!?! Awe crap! how about pencil? Wait, what was my name? Alright, got it.

The answer is 4.

That was easy.

Okay, my turn -

How many flies does it take to change a light bulb?

2

Question is, how did they get in the light bulb?
