This Month's Puzzle:  DownStreet Analogies

This month's puzzle is built on the Miller Analogies, those word pairs that ask you to find the relationship between two sets of words.  You know the drill.  ...

hand : arm    as    foot : _______________
a) toe    b) finger    c) small intestine    d) leg

=  hand is to arm as foot is to (what)?

The only real difference between the usual kind of Miller Analogy you might find on SAT's and similar standardized tests, and what we present here, is that all of our analogies are connected to things appearing in this month's issue of DownStreet.  That, and maybe the slightly unorthodox nature of the analogies themselves.

In any case, if you think you can come up with the answer to this month's DownStreet Analogies, simply fill out the form below and send it along.
