Oh, and before I go, here is a new math quiz for our insomniacs and early risers to work on:

 

[Kat]

Have to look in the morning....too late to see...LOL

 

[saveliberty]

40

 

[Montrovant]

40

What he said!

 

[saveliberty]

40 is the new 30, so I get confused.

 

[Foxfyre]

And I think the answer is 96. How do you guys get 40?

 

[Montrovant]

And I think the answer is 96. How do you guys get 40?

1+4 = 5.
2+5 = 7, +5 = 12.
3+6 = 9, +12 = 21.
8+11 = 19, +21 = 40.

It's adding the total from the previous line to the answer from the next line each time.

 

[saveliberty]

another progression could be in play:

adding one to both prior number sets, then adding the prior result.

1 + 4 = 5
2 + 5 = 12
3 + 6 = 21
4 + 7 = 32
5 + 8 = 45
6 + 9 = 60
7 + 10=77
8 + 11= 96

Thing is it presumes missing number sets.

We may get a weak tornado today.

Does that mean the newspaper ends up in the bushes?

I went with the first number + the second number multiplied by the first number.

1 + (4 x 1) = 5
2 + (5 x 2) = 12
3 + (6 x 3) = 21
8 + (11 x 8) = 96

Having lived In Tornado Alley most of my life, I am somewhat a sort of would be almost expert on tornadoes.

A 'weak' tornado would be an F zero or F 1 and won't whisk your house off to Oz, but it can make a real mess of things. So if you get put under a tornado warning, please don't stand by the window to watch. I would still move to an inside room or closet in your house away from windows.

Stupid numbers....

 

[saveliberty]

I like dust devils that go through a garage and slam the back door shut.

As kids we just to run or pedal our bicycles as hard as we could to get in the middle of a dust devil. Great fun.

And for your observation quiz this morning:

[Montrovant]

And for your observation quiz this morning:

I feel like there might be more if I had a bigger copy of the picture, but at this size I see 8. Elephant, donkey, dog, cat, mouse, turtle (elephant's ear), dolphin (elephant's trunk), and snake (elephant's tail).

 

[Ridgerunner]

elifino...

I thought the mouse was a rabbit...

 

[Againsheila]

I was told there would be no math......
