Amazing Location of the Week  I can’t even phathom the size of this construction job!  The Seven Mile Bridge in Florida Keys.

Summary & Solutions  Only a few formal submissions this time, but WOW – there were lots of comments, alternate solutions, and quibbling over interpretations!  What fun!!  Be sure to see Summary of Solutions & Solvers (and of course, more details).

New Brain Teasers  The new year starts with a new collection of BTs.  Here are the first five for Jan/Feb.  Have fun!!  Looking for more solvers!

Smothers Brothers Fans?  One of the previous BTs (# 15)  involved a Smothers Brothers comedy routine.  You can see more details in the Summary and Solutions above, or, if you’d like, you can see the clip only here.   (I’ve had intermitten problems getting this to display.  Here is the link if you need to copy/paste:  https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1376082672444211 )

January Birthdays  Due to the Holiday schedule, the January birthdays are somewhat late. 🙁   Here is the list of known birthdays of subscribers in January.
