Here is a brain teaser for your Thursday enjoyment. I've done these
before, but it's been a while. Everyone always seems to have fun with these.
This one is a little different, however, since it's the first one I've done
that has no beginning or end. The whole puzzle is a cycle.
Instructions:
See if you can put the pictures in the logical order such that the
names of the objects in each adjacent picture have something in common.
This puzzle has no beginning or end. All pictures will connect with another.
Remember, if you get stuck, consider the possibility that you are
misnaming something.
If you need help figuring out how it works, or if you just want to solve
another puzzle, check out my previous puzzles:

I love these puzzles. It's like seeing the different ways in which our minds work, and witnessing the value of exchanging ideas in action.
When the lightbulbs finally go off, you can see the exponential growth of progress immediately.

Xcuses, you've labeled a couple things correctly, some are incorrect, but now you have to start arranging them in such an order that the name of each thing represented in the picture shares a similar word with the name of the adjacent picture. (Hint: some of the pictures represent common sayings.)
For instance, let's say I had pictures of these objects:
Daddy Daycare (movie)
powdered sugar
tape measure
hit parader magazine
powder magazine
sugar daddy
ticker tape parade
Now, if you rearrange them into order, you get this:
tape measure
ticker tape parade
hit parader magazine
powder magazine
powdered sugar
sugar daddy
Daddy Daycare (movie)
Now the name of each adjacent object shares a common word. That's how it works.
