Great site and a fantastic warm-up! I did it in one breath. Regarding the comment about the pronunciation of “quay” there are actually three ways to pronounce it. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/quay

Great, but no pheasant plucker, nor that pheasant plucker’s so! Haha. Brilliant warm up, I’m out of breath

Question: As the word “quay” is actually pronounced KEE (as is the word “cay,” as in Cat Cay Island), was this put into the sequence as a “gotcha” to test the reader’s knowledge, or did the author of the test just get it wrong? Should future users of the test replace “quay” with a real KWA word such as “quark” (rhymes with “ark”)?

This was also called the TMT (Tibetan Mind Trick), and it has variations:

1. One hen.
2. Two ducks.
3. Three squawking geese.
4. Four limerick oysters.
5. Five corpulent porpoises.
6. Six pairs of Revlon tweezers.
7. Seven thousand Macedonians in full battle array.
8. Eight brass monkeys from the ancient sacred crypts of Egypt.
9. Nine apathetic sympathetic diabetic old men on roller skates
with a marked propensity towards procrastination and sloth.
10. Ten lyrical, spherical, diabolical denizens of the deep who
stalk around the corner of a cove all at the very same time.

Teisha,

Sorry for the late reply!

I finally could read through it in one breath as well… although I doubt my pronunciation was even close to being clear.

How’d the audition go?

Best wishes,
