Brain Teasers
Operation: Weather-Ectomy
Six words have had their weather terms removed. The weather terms have been placed into Group A. The remaining letters of each word have been placed into Group B. Your task is to reconstitute the words by merging each weather term with the proper set of letters. Other than merging the two groups together, there is no rearranging of the letters. Example: sand + pne = spanned (SpANneD).
Group A: cloud, hail, rain, sleet, storm, wind
Group B: arngg, astba, atage, bevora, diabmn, higa
Group A: cloud, hail, rain, sleet, storm, wind
Group B: arngg, astba, atage, bevora, diabmn, higa
Answer
cloud + atage = catalogued (CataLOgUeD)hail + bevora = behavioral (beHAvIoraL)
rain + arngg = arranging (aRrAngINg)
sleet + diabmn = disablement (diSabLEmEnT)
storm + higa = histogram (hiSTOgRaM)
wind + astba = waistband (WaIstbaND)

OOps! Totally missed it- but I am not good at these letter things!!!! Good for thinking, Thank you
Kudos!
Loved it but it took a while
No clue. Really clever though. Good job!!
Whew! That was HARD!
But I thought it was very creative, and I liked it a lot. Keep them coming, maybe I will get better at them!

Liked this one alot, but must admit, after figuring a few out, I got lazy. Wish they had a logic grid type scratchpad so I wouldn't have to use pencil and paper.
yea! this one was a stumper. didn't get a single one. too hard 4 me.
Too hard for me!!!
Whoa! Way too hard for me! It`s only 6 am & I am not awake yet LOL
However, I am sure it is a good one lol
Thx
Oh boy, this one was absolutely faaaaannn-shmabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wish there were higher ratings to choose from, 'cause, IMHO, this one surely deserves a 21-thumbs-up!!!
(of course, the fact that I was only able to figure out 3 of 'em is beside the point)
Please oh please oh please keep crankin' some more of these out!?!?!

I give very few comments, but this one deserves a definite thumbs up for creativity! I was able to get the last five after looking at the first one. This one was great! GOOD JOB!
lots of well deserved good comments,,,and I will add one more
W O W ! !
GREAT TEASER !

GREAT TEASER !
didnt get any of them, but what a good teaser...i enjoyed trying.
too much brainpower for me this morning... couldn't quite get them, and at first I thought the new word was still a weather term. oh well
Verrry challenging! How fun! Boy, I didn't get it!
Like person above I had to look at answer to 1st one before I ofollowed the approach. Then got the rest of them when I realized things did have to be fully integrated but stayed in same order - first though you had to keep each element totally tother but insert someplace . When that didn't work went to other extreme and just mixed up all the letters - Anyway GREAT PUZZLE - maybe just a little clarification would have been nice.

Wow, that was hard, I only got arranging. Really good job, I had alot of fun trying.
That was soooo hard i was rearanging the wrong way ....I feel stupid!!!!
I've been a lurker here for a while, but I had to register just to give this one 2 big thumbs up! I had to use pen and paper, but I finally got them all.
WOW!!! I actually got all of them right!!!
2 letters: E Z
What the heck was that all ABOUT?????? Must be past my bedtime!!!!!
Excellent teaser. Thanks for sharing!
Har dbut good. I didn't really get the whole problem. Keep it comin'!!!
Hmmm. I got two of them and loved this concept. I should have worked longer on 2 of them but didn't know 'histogram' at all. Need to improve my vocab I guess. GREAT ONE!
GOOD ONE!
great teaser!!!
this is the hardest rated one i've seen. usually the really hard ones aren't fun, but this was great.

I came up with coagulated instead of catalogued for cloud + atage. You might want to add that to the answers as a possibility.
Dec 16, 2005
um, scratch previous comment. I forgot to keep the letters in order. OOPS!!!!
WHAT?
Yeah, that was very HARD! But I like that! I also didn't know the word "histogram", although I kept trying to use those two together... Very good, Thanks, this must have taken some work to create!
That wasn't even any fun!
Dec 17, 2005
didn't get histogram... not bad
That was the hardest one I've come across, but still a lot of fun trying to figure it out (Which I couldn't)
Well, you certainly got me! I thought the words were supposed to be weather terms! But, you got me good!! Fun teaser, even tho I didn't have a clue!! Excuse now, I'm going out to find a clue!!
I didnt get any of them but it was a cool teaser I think its because I dint really try nice one tho
Hehe, fun!
