The Engleson Files

Which national flag do you see before you? Be sure to look very closely at the designs within before you give your answer.

I am a coastal nation, but will not tell you which side has water. In 1992 I ended 46 years of Communist rule and established a multiparty democracy. Which country am I?

p.s. - Jason, you are not allowed to vote!

For whatever reason, I have always had a fascination with flags and have actually found that I am not too bad at knowing which flags are which. While I cannot boast to know them all, I seem to have the ability to find certain patterns in them and can usually get the answer correct, or be in the right vicinity geographically. So, my main question is this: can you? What national flag do you see before you?

Question:

You’re walking down a street trying to get to Truesville where every one tells the truth. You come to a fork in the road and all that you know is that one road leads to Truesville and the other to Liesville where everyone lies. There is a girl in the middle of the fork and you don’t know if she is from Liesville or Truesville. What is the one question you can ask her to get to Truesville?

Can you see what is hidden in the depths?? Look deep, very deep.

Stare deep into the middle of the moving vortex and see if you can hypnotize yourself. Give it an honest try, you might be surprised…

Look hard, very hard, what do you see? (Besides a bunch of coffee beans, that is)

Congratulations goes out to Tish, Carole and Kevin for being the first (only) three to guess correctly; your coveted prize is in the mail! Yes, this week’s Mindzapper was, in fact, a teapot. Now, I still cannot see it and am going a little crazy in trying - damn mindzappers!!

Alright people, time for another challenging stereograph. Look very deep into the fantastic array of beautiful colors and tell me what you see - prizes will be awarded to the first three who answer correctly!

Is it magic, or illuuuusion??

Yes, if you saw something that kind of resembled this Viking long boat, then you are correct! Well done. If you did not see it, try again now that you know what to look for. Remember folks: look deep, very deep.
