[quote]Ditloids puzzles provide an easy source of materials for organizational development and team building exercises, team building games and quizzes of all sorts. Ditloids are fun because the format is very quick and simple, and they combine aspects of maths, logic, lateral thinking and general knowledge. Ditloids are very quick and easy to create, so you need never be at a loss for some light relief at any gathering. For example, as an exercise ask teams to create their own ditloids puzzles for the opposing teams - using terms from their own organizational context. Creating ditloids puzzles in workgroups enables all sorts of otherwise dry materials to be brought to life in an interesting way. Ditloids are also fun in training coffee-breaks, or as ice-breakers, especially if created for a relevant or topical theme. The origin of the word ditloid is apparently from a cryptic crossword clue which appeared several years ago in the UK Daily Express newspaper: 1 = DitLoID, whose answer was One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, which incidentally is a novel written by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Many ditloids adhere to the structure of the original crossword clue, that is, a number followed by the equals sign (=) then the abbreviation. Others have a more flexible format, which enables a wider variety of information and facts to be used in their creation, like the ditloids below. Here's an example of the format used in the ditloids puzzles below: 12 M I T Y - (Answer, 12 months in the year)[/quote] So, here are some for you. 7 B F 7 B - 101 D - 3 B M - T 10 C - 366 D I A L Y - T 39 S - 6 W O H T E - A B A T 40 T - T 7 W O T W - 50 W T L Y L - N 10 D S - 12 S O T Z - 16 O I A P - T 3 W M -
