Krazy Pic 1 We got our first snow this past week, but we did not get 24 inches, thankfully!! I’m not sure this place did either, but it’s kinda hard to argue with this, eh?
Krazy Pic 2 On a similar-but-different note: Anyone hearing the theme music from Jaws?
Cartoon of the Week It’s a new year, but Lucy from Peanuts is feeling cheated! Anyone else feel the same?
Curiosity of the Week With all this cold weather, we could use a rapid warming, eh? Which kinda makes you wonder (doesn’t it?) – what’s the fastest/quickest temperature change on record? Find the answer here. (For another very interesting weather-related curiosity, check out the first Pesky Puzzler for today. You can be amazed without answering the question if you want! )
Isn’t Math Wonderful? Amazing 2025! Here’s a magic trick for you: Consider our new year: 2025. Now put a plus sign in the middle: 20 + 25. Then take that result [45] and square it (multiply it by itself). What do you get? Cool, eh? That’s just one of several fascinating things about 2025 and/or specific dates in the year. Check them all out here!
Pesky Puzzlers 25.1 Time for another year of Pesky Puzzlers! Aren’t you excited? Here’s the first collection for you – with a BONUS! The first puzzler also doubles as the second weather-related Curiosity of the Week. (Take a look at that, whether you try any puzzlers or not!) By the way – if you’d like one last look at some of 2024’s Puzzlers and Solutions, help yourself here.
