Brain Games is an amazing show.

I think I worked this one out..

Is it cheating to move the vertical line in the '+' over the top of the '=' to make the 'does not equal' sign?

 

[DroopStDanny]

I was playing around with Sage for a while. Also Solomon for wise man because it has the exact 7 letters.

Perhaps. Is that sign mathematically correct?

I only just stumbled over BG on Foxtel over the weekend. Don't usually venture down that area of the channel list, lol.

Thought it was a horrible show myself. Advertised to be something really cool then when it debuted that's what we got. Never watched again after the first ep.

I like "The Big con"? Something about con artists show you how they rip people off, was really interesting.

Yep! ≠
There are other solutions but that was the first one that popped into my head...which is probably a bad thing.

Haha, I stumbled across it the same way a couple of years ago. There are something like 6 seasons of the show now. Some of them are repetitive but well worth a watch if you can find them (US Netflix has them I believe).

One can see right through me, while others wonder what I hide.
What am I?

A woman gave birth at a hospital- a boy and a girl at the same time, but they weren't twins. Why?

Because gender is a social construct

Good one. Did you know it previously, or work it out?

Worked it out. I'm usually terrible at these, so put it down to pot luck.

Every morning a man walks to the building of his work and catches the lift to the twelfth floor. He gets out, and walks up six flights of stairs to his office.
Each evening, he walks across from his office and takes the lift all the way to the ground floor, and walks home, to number 13 High Street.

Why doesn't he drive to work?

 

[Shell]

Cos he is cruffy?
