I didn't realize that M was gone to be with our Father. It just kind of blew my mind. I've lost loved ones, but not the love of my life. I hope that someday The Girl will realize what a wonderful father she has and that M is a blessing in her life.

If you're interested I've got some links on either page one or page two that cover a little of the story. (plus a couple pictures)

The Girl loves her daddy. Although lately she's been mad at me a lot. She's in one of those "doesn't like being told what to do" phases.

She was so little when M went home that she's forgetting her. So we try to keep M alive in her memory. Fortunately the parts she's forgetting are the bad years.

The answer is very straightforward but very non-conventional. You have to think in 3D to get the answer.

Or cheat and look at the answer...then say "Duh!"

That's a smart way to cut a cake for those of us who don't care much for icing.

I didn't hide my stealth but rather admitted it openly, and I had a good reason for it. I needed to know the answer in case that you couldn't figure it out (slim chance of that).

Well at least your good at facing reality!

I love puzzles. Math, logic (those are my favorite) and mechanical blacksmith puzzles 9disentanglement puzzles). Even crosswords (always in ink)

You did get the roles right. I was the goober and M was the raisinette. OK so we were mushy.

These are normally metal or wood puzzles where the goal is to manipulate them in such a way that you can remove a piece (or pieces) without using force. The "bent nails" and the "conestoga playmate" are perhaps the most common.

Challenge!!

When I fly the first thing I do is get the in flight magazine and turn to the crossword. The deal is that I must complete it before the plane leaves the ground. I usually succeed (although it gets tough when you're one of the last to board)

Hey, John. I ran across a fun mathematical reasoning puzzle for you:

You must cut a birthday cake into exactly eight pieces, but you're only allowed to make three straight cuts, and you can't move pieces of the cake as you cut. How can you do it?

(I couldn't answer it )


Now is that like having 3 halves of a whole apple pie as well?

Very cool! Wish I'd have thought of that...

Excellent!! Just give me a little time for Bereavement Brain and graduate school to wear off (although they'd definitely provide the handicap that you'd need in order to defeat me ).

I absolutely love those! I own about 5 different ones... the three horseshoe and 3 ring one gets me sometimes still though...

I've between 12 and thirty. I sometimes lose count. I'm planning to leave them scattered about for the GT as a little challenge for my guests. (OK so I'm twisted that way.)

Yes. Some are very easy. Others are nearly impossible I've solved all of the ones I own. But I'd have to rework them to help my victims guests as it's been a while.
