1. Which word is the odd one out?
nivek nomis nevets niarda semaj nala
2. Practical Peter was asked to cut a 99 foot rope into three smaller, equal length ropes.
However, as usual, Pete couldn't find his measuring tape so he guessed!
When he finally did find his tape, he discovered that:
A) the second piece of rope was twice as long as the first piece, minus 35 feet (i.e. 2 x first, - 35).
B) the third piece of rope was half the length of the first, plus 15 feet (i.e. 0.5 x first, + 15)
How long were each of the pieces of rope?
3.What is represented by this?
B
SAI
4.What is represented by this?
soiudte
5. What is represented by this?
draob gniward eht ot

niarda - they are all men's first names spelled backwards, so it should have been nairda instead of niarda

I used to sit outside, but it became tedious. I bought a ties duo, and I do use it until it dies out...

Well....there was no 'on' in Bonsai either. The B was 'on' the SAI. Only in this case the OUT was 'in' the SIDE.BobH wrote:but but but . . . there's no 'n' in it.
I do agree: Hans had a very creating answer. Something interesting has happened to Hans recently. He seems to be much more poetical nowadays. His recent selfie certainly proves that something radical has changed.
