Krazy Pic 1 Would this be considered graffiti or just plain helping out? I’ll bet you can guess MY answer!
Krazy Pic 2 Another deep question to ponder. Was the result of this photo accidental or slightly devious?
Cartoon of the Week It’s probably not too early for a Christmas cartoon, eh? Jason from Foxtrot mixes some Dad jokes with a devious strategy. Surely one or both of the two should make you smile!
Christmas Sale!! Still searching for the ideal Christmas gift? What could be better than books?! And what kind of sale could be better than buying books for others and getting one for yourself FREE? Due to time restrictions, I will repeat an (updated) version of last year’s sale – Christmas 2023 – Buy books, Get books!! ACT FAST – I can’t guarantee delivery for Christmas for orders placed after Dec 15.
Isn’t Math Wonderful?! You won’t believe this!! In the last installment of this new (once-monthly?) feature, we looked at magic squares, and a 1514 woodcut containing a special one. (See that one again here.) This time we’ll look at another (8 x 8!) magic square which has an amazing feature that’s too good to be true!! (If you happen to like chess, you’ll be even more amazed!!)
Pesky Puzzler V – Solution Well, did you wade through the geography, zip codes, and phones? And did you deduce the reference to dessert? Here are the solutions to the two-part Puzzler from last time which turned out to be even neater than I first thought! 🙂 Correct solutions were submitted by Rita Barger and Amy Ragsdale.
Pesky Puzzler VI Normally I hate those “What’s wrong with this picture?” puzzles. But this one is kinda interesting because there is indeed (at least one) ‘legitimate’ unmistakable error here. And, of course, there may be other ‘answers’, and in fact other answers (even – maybe especially?) creative ones are encouraged. So take a close look and be observant. (Or, failing that, be creative! Let’s have some fun!)
Pesky Puzzler(s) VII Since it will be 2024 before we meet again in this space, here is a Bonus two-part Puzzler upon which to ruminate. Back to good, old fashioned numbers . . . arithmetic and maybe more. But both qualify for the puzzler category if you’re not careful. Have fun! I look forward to your solutions!
