the following proverb brainteasers represent well known old
sayings that have been relied on for hundreds of years. you've
probably used these proverbs, or at least have heard them used
at some point in your life. but for this brainteaser quiz, they
have been re-written using big words that mean essentially the

more sense in their original forms, which relied on plain and
simple english!
