Brain Teasers
Logic Class Fieldtrip
Professor C. D. Rock took his kids on a fieldtrip. Unfortunately, he took them to a library, only to get a dictionary out. He led them to a few words, and told them to study the word a little bit.
In order he led them to the words;
Basic, Elf, Haiti, Kill, and No.
He then gave them a list of words.
A. Quarrel
B. Quick
C. Quaint
D. Quite
E. Queen
F. Quibble
G. Quilt
H. Query
I. Quarter
J. Quote
K. Quotient
And then asked "which word, from the list, comes next?" Can you figure it out?

Whoa! Too hard for me. It is interesting though!
Sorry . I did not get it while I was reviewing it and I still don't! Can someone explain the logic to me? I am really feeling thick right now!
I love the fact that all words from the list begin in Q.
Great teaser LB cd! Sorry I haven't been commenting on your teasers, but I seem to run out of time before I get to commenting!
I GOT IT RIGHT! YAY! Ahem...great teaser.
I saew a teaser just like this on Puzz.com
Did not understand what I was trying to figure out. Didn't like it at all. Very confusing at 5 in the A.M.
I almost got it. Great quiz. I followed the alphabet concept, just didn't realize it was the last letter in each word. Good job, made me think a little
I agree with Auntiesis, and it's 7:45 in the morning. Very confusing teaser.
I don't agree that it was confusing at all! I never get these kinds of teaser, but I got this one today! It was a series, so understanding what that means helped. I thought it was quite clever. Thanks for a fun teaser!
This has been my favorite teaser so far. Good refresher course on logic!
I don't usually try these teasers because you often get some silly answers. I gave this one a go though and (kind of) got it. I said quarter because I noticed that the first letter of each word was in a sequence and the last letter of each word was in a sequence. Never hung around to notice that it was one sequence, but hey, I never had to.
This is exactly how this kind of teaser should be done, 5*

Good one. I thought quaint, because of equal number of vowels and consonants but I was wrong!!!!
I see you've promoted yourself to professor. Good job. Simple logic. I did not need even the fine print with the title to tell me this was a series teaser, it was logical.
I suck at these types of teasers. I couldn't figure out why all the words begin with Q - though I knew that was a clue.
Good job!
Good job!
Nice teaser, got why it was q right away, took awhile for the last letter solution. Was trying other formulas. In fact I came close to looking in a dictionary at the definitions for a clue. Well done.
Loved it !...and I even got it correct.
I'm sure somebody already answered brainsters question but if not it is :- miss A, B...C miss D, E...F miss G, H...I miss J, K...L miss M, N...O therefore next part of sequence is miss P, Q...R which gives QuarteR as the only available choice from the list, its just like those little 'puzzle' deals on IQ tests.

You have to ask yourself why they all began with Q. Heh, if I had, I might have gotten it!
Aw! I picked "quaint," by putting them in alphabetical order.
I like "what-comes-next" logic puzzles, although I had no luck with this one. I tried first letters, then tried vowels, etc. I just didn't get to the 1st/last formula.
Maybe next time I won't run out of patience so fast. Thank you.

I got confused by the letters in front of the 'Q' words.. it should have been numbers or something. I thought the letters were part of the list, not just organizing it.
I got it ! yay! thank you for making my day and making me feel smartical!nice teaser
You got me!! I did basic alphabetical order.
I loved it. I got stuck and didn't get it, but when I saw the answer, I was truely delighted. Thanks for a great treasure of a teaser.

wow, that one was really hard...haha..
Wow. I realized that the first letters of each word changes by going up three letters in the alphabet each time and that it was the same with the last letters of each word. Never realized all those letters were connected...
Oh well, I got the right answer!
Thanks for the cool teaser, Professor!

i figured out the sequence with the first letter, but never noticed it was to include the last letter... great teaser, and i consider myself to be somewhat of a logic buff
