Friday’s Favorite Five
A new puzzle is the latest craze in Great Britain: Su
Doku (Japanese for "solitary number"). The premise is simple--fill
in the empty boxes with the digits 1 thru 9 without repeating a number in any
row, column or box--but the puzzles can be very challenging. The puzzles, originally
from Japan, were spread to newspapers in England by a retired judge, Wayne Gould,
who spent six years developing a computer program to easily create them. Many
British now claim they can’t start their day without their Su Doku fix.
Check it out!
A cute little flash game that is less about darts
than accurate mouse work....but fun nevertheless.
Thirteen MP3 downloads from artists such as Lou Reed, the Rolling Stones, and
Jane’s Addiciton about heroin
and heroin addiction. A great selection of songs, no matter what the subject
matter.
This puzzle, The
Self-Referential Aptitude Test, is driving me absolutely crazy! There are
no ‘correct’ answers when you start, but after one or two answers,
then every new answer changes previously ‘right’ answer wrong. The
one that I’m tearing my hair out over is the consonant/even-odd, prime,
divisible by five ‘question’ Aaaaccckkk! Try it if you dare!
Tired of reading your horoscope or consulting your personal Oracle? Jimbo (at
jimbo.info) blogs about a way to use your I-Pod
shuffle as a tarot deck. Very intriguing. I know that our brains tend to
find significance in even random events, but my results seemed so accurate (and
personal) that I refuse to post them here! See how it works for you.
