Wild Cards! – Nov 16, 2015

Cartoon of the Week  Calvin & Hobbes debuted on Nov 18, 1985, so the 30th anniversary will be Wednesday.  To celebrate, here is the very first Calvin and Hobbes on 11/18/85:  FirstC&H.  And, as a bonus, here was the LATEST C & H (as this was written):  C&HNov10.

Krazy Pic This is either a clever trick, or the most interesting way to give permission, ever!  See KrPic15-30. 

Brilliant Idea!  I LOVE this!!  Why didn’t we think of this sooner?!?  See LongLines.

Iquazu Falls  This video clip was shared by subscriber Sandy Hall  (who I think shot the video!).  It is of Iquazu Falls, on the border of Argentina and Brazil.  One of the new 7 Wonders of the World.  To be able to see the video, see IquazuFalls.

November Brain Teasers Three more BTs this week, mixing logic and arithmetic.  No heavy math 🙂  See NovBTs.  ALSO – We’re still looking for more subscriber-submitted BTs!!  Will everyone let Mike Brown win the drawing by default?? 

Friday the 13th!!  This past Friday may have been a Friday the 13th, but it was a GREAT day for number patterns.  In the first place, it was one of THREE ‘twin prime’ days* each  year.  (What are the other two?  :-))  AND, it was the last time this century (!!) that we had three consecutive odd numbers for a date.  [I was reminded of this by Kathy Mazi, subscriber – I had somehow missed it!]  If you’re interested in other ‘special’ days (past & future) during 2015, you can re-visit SpecialDates15,

*Day & month are consecutive odd primes.
