Help With A Brain Teaser

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

I have been given these lists of brain teasers that are visual and normally connect to a phrase.

An example is that there are seven C’s in a row and it means the Seven Seas.

There is one which is He’s/ Himself. Closest I can get is "He’s up himself’ but I don’t think that is correct.

Any clues?

2

He’s beside himself.

3

This is one of those spreadsheet based games where if you put in the incorrect answer it is rejected.

The computer rejects the answer ‘He’s beside himself’.

4

Can you send it to me or link me to it?

5

Unfortunately it is on paper (the version I have). I gave your answer to the person who was asking me and she told me about it being rejected.

6

If you haven’t already, try “He is beside himself”

7

Also try Hes beside himself. The people that make those things don’t always have the best spelling or grammar.

8

He’s by Himself ?

9

Split personality, perhaps?

10

If that is really a ‘/’ perhaps something along the line of “Divided against himself” but I vote for “Beside”.

11

He’s ahead of himself…?

(I’m with the ‘besides’ crowd, but this is worth a shot)

12

Huh? I don’t get it. How does “He’s beside himself” relate back to dealing with the seven seas and having “7 c’s in a row?”

13

He’s over himself. No more narcissistic behavior for him. Or, it just means that he’s one. With himself. It’s a zen thing.

14

He’s over himself was my first guess.

He’s not himself perhaps.

15

Split personality?

16

It’s a separate puzzle. They’re visual puns, if you like. I know them as “Dingbats”.

e.g.

C C C C C C C = the seven seas

[sub]S[/sub][sup]G[/sup][sub]E[/sub][sup]G[/sup] = scrambled eggs

HE’S / HIMSELF = he’s beside himself.

I think I’ve seen the last one as:



     | HIMSELF
HE'S |
     | RAGE

or “he’s beside himself with rage”.

17

Dingbat logic would require the “HIMSELF” part to be struck through, I’d have thought.

18

Ah! I get it. He’s over himself sounds best to me if it’s a division thing.

19

He’s divided himself? What is he, an amoeba?

20

Thanks for the replies- I do like the amoeba one. I don’t know the answer, but if it was ‘He’s over himself’ wouldn’t it more correctly be ‘He’s’ on a line above ‘himself’?
