morning all

nice warm temps outside but the wind is blowing

our first weekend in a long time that we don't have a swim meet to go to - yipee

Okay. I like math riddles, but this one makes no sense. 1/2 of 16 can't be 13. I can't get past that part.

I'll continue to think while I work. Got to get ready to see Mickey!

Was my answer not qualified for a TU?

MP: Logic it is not...math it is.

I'm not sure about evil or good...but you sure are the IMPATIENT twin.

Well, I see why the riddle thread was so hard to find. Not a lot of activity, eh?

Gail, you vixen...dance for us!

Good Morning all, late as it is, serves me right for staying up till midnight. PM sent. Not an easy puzzle to figure out, but pure math.

I made a desperate guess on the riddle.

We are having a good old fashioned March snowstorm here today. We have about 8 inches of heavy wet snow sticking to everything right now, and up to a foot predicted. It isn't cold though (32), so it should not stick around too long. It's pretty heavy though, so it is definately a "heart attack" snow.

Oh Diane,
That sounds like it's heading right for new england...icky

I made a pitiful attempt to attack this with algebra. PM sent, although I'm pretty sure it's wrong.

I still claim this is a crazy math riddle. It doen't make much sense. To me math goes hand in hand with logic. I may just have to give up on this one.

Have a great day!

MP: you get full credit for not asking the other 3:

Alan:

CHEATER! At least you are an honest cheater

LK: At least have the courtesy to RETYPE the answer..not just forward it....

 

[The LK 4]

Ya know, forwarding a PM takes a lot of effort!

 

[Breezy_Carol]

I am going to do my best SB imitation now. "I got it right so where is my TU?"

 

[MerryPoppins]

Well, in my confusion over logic vs. math, I found I cannot multiply. LOL! I did go about this the right way and I'm shocked. I just made a simple mistake. Guess I should have shown MY work.

Thanks for the TU. Now I can get back to work in earnest.
