Brain Teasers
Average Broadway
Sarah Oppenlime is a Broadway actress. Today is her birthday and her boyfriend Sebastian is taking her to see a show. She's been nagging him for days to tell her which show they are going to see. He gives her a puzzle to solve. If she solves it, she finds out what show they are seeing. Here it is.
"To find the show, you must figure out what show each phrase represents, then find out which years these shows won best musical. After that, you must find the average of those years. Then you find the show that won best musical in that year, and that's the show we are going to see.
A bunch of cute little fuzzy animals that purr.
A male magician minus the last three letters.
People who produce things.
What you wear to bed, and something that you play with the intention to have fun.
Stuff in a can that keeps your hair in place.
Alot of canned meat."
Sarah figured it out. Can you?
