Atypical week – returning home on Tuesday. Too tired to do the Thursday thinking… So, here is a simpler math puzzle. Using 8,8,3 and 3, can you get 24? You are allowed to use only plus, minus, multiply and divide. Strictly speaking, parentheses should be allowed too. But that is it. Private message me if you know/found the answer.
Delta seems to recognize that those folks in DC are taking this country backwards. Note how I leave Atlanta this evening at 7 pm and after 2 hours of flight still manage to reach DC YESTERDAY!!! — at Delta Sky Club – Concourse E.
Last night, over dinner, I was explaining to my good friend Garry Capers that I cannot seem to understand my body. If I double my running in a month, my body weight remains the same. This time in India, I ate more sweets, fried foods, junk foods and rice than you can shake a stick at. Came back home and sure enough, the weight was exactly the same at 158 pounds. Totally incomprehensible. He rather wisely pointed out that “You may have the same weight but you are carrying it differently” 🙂 Touche!!
BTW, I am so going to hate anybody who “Like”s this 🙂
Familiar Thursday evening situation: On a flight returning home. Have not posted a puzzle in some time. So, here is one…
What is the next number in the following sequence?
4, 6, 12, 18, 30, 42, 60, 72, 102, …
(If you know the answer send me a personal message)
Disclaimer: I remember this puzzle vividly from my college days because after two days I simply gave up 🙁
