Wild Cards! – Oct 15, 2018

Krazy Pic 1  This is SO clever! I loved it!  Three Puns in One!  (If you remember the Fifth Dimension, you’ll get it immediately!)

Krazy Pic 2  As long as we’re doing puns, here’s a clever, helpful warning!  

Krazy Pic 3 A bonus this week!  Not often that you can combine modern physics with self-help messages!

MORE Monday Morning Trivia  Remember last month when we shared a very random crazy collection of Trivia?  Here is the remaining dose of those bits of trivia, along with last month’s (in red) in case you missed them.  My favorite:  The history connections to all 4 kings in a deck of playing cards!!

Brain Teaser Bonanza! FOUR new BTs (and a fun/easy bonus!) this time, making a total of 15 for this period.  I think that’s a record!  Surely there are one or two (or the Bonus) that will grab you!  Find them, submit your solutions, and join the fun!

Column Catch-Up  Between a major change of logistics and schedules at the Springfield News Leader and a minor misunderstanding, it had been over a month since I had a column appear.  Here are the two most recent:  

An Educational Angle to Immigration  A reference to an world-wide math contest provided another perspective on our immigration issues.

The Median, the Mean, and the Irony  A two-part column. The first half shares a fun math clarification.  The second half generated some controversy and a few comments.  Two thirds of them were supportive, but the other third definitely weren’t!
