A geometry puzzle on this tri-colored day
The three rectangles colored in US flag colors are identical. What is the angle ?
This Saturday, it took me nearly an hour and half to get it. So much so, I missed the farmers’ market trip with Sharmila and Jay Jay. Got this from the internet. The teacher who publishes this posts answers only on Twitter. Had to grab a friend from office who has a Twitter account to make sure my answer was correct.

Few things are as satisfying as this…
Every month or so, cleaning up four fountain pens and filling them up with different colored inks. If you threw a writing pad at me at that moment, I would probably sit down and write a letter immediately – to nobody in particular… just to get that incredible feeling of the metal nib brushing against that fine paper.
Sharmila is usually scared to death that I will spill some ink and permanently destroy her marble top in the kitchen island. Especially with that glass of cocktail within an easy reach!
Admittedly, there is some satisfaction in that too 🙂 🙂

Bay Breeze with a twist
Instead of pineapple juice, I went with mango juice. So, that would be vodka, cranberry juice and mango juice. Less of a fall drink and more of a summer drink. But what the heck, Sharmila has bought all these fruit juice cans from an Indian store…I felt like I needed to do some justice to them before the expiry date!!
