Tis the time of year for puzzles again. Father time keeps adding years and the puzzles of life keep getting more difficult to solve.
This is a game my wife had tucked away call Roadside Rescue a Binary Arts Brainteaser Puzzle. The idea is to line up the Police, Ambulance and Firetruck in their spots shown on the game. You have different ways to set it up and only certain moves you can make. The cars can only fit certain way and switch from lane to lane. You can see extra pieces that you can replace to change the puzzle. Sometimes you have to only get one in its spot such as a police car but it sits in the back and you might have road blocks. I used this for a few photo setup with my Anglia AA car in previous photos. This is a fun game and a good brainteaser.

Muse Magazine explores ideas in science, history, the arts and pie throwing.
MUSE is a science magazine, a history magazine, and an art magazine--all rolled into one! With insightful articles on topics ranging from anthropology to zoology and just about everything in between, MUSE Will captivate curious readers ages 10 and up.
MUSE magazine isn’t a collection of facts; it’s a guidebook for intellectual exploration. Nine times a year it sends kids on adventures to places such as under the sea to learn about giant squids, into the past to meet Neanderthals, and beyond the earth to visit Mars. Its articles are kid-friendly, written and designed to get kids to ask questions and think for themselves. Past features have raised questions like: Do animals think? What keeps a roller coaster on the tracks? What is the chemistry involved in the colors of fireworks? Why did the dinosaurs die?
But MUSE Magazine isn’t all serious. As Martin Gardner, author of Classic Brainteasers says, “I cannot imagine an intelligent child who would not be fascinated, entertained, amused, and enlightened by MUSE.”
Each issue is filled with engaging photographs and illustrations, cartoons, a contest, activities, Web site recommendations, and reader letters. And kids love Larry Gonick’s Muses, 9 cartoon smart alecks who inhabit the margins of the articles, providing their own brand of humor and pointed commentary.
Best of all are the many articles not only written by experts in their fields but also brimming with the enthusiasm the authors feel for their work. A perfect gift for former readers of ASK magazine or any kid interested in science, history, and the arts, MUSE magazine is 48 pages of addictive fun!
Games, puzzles and brainteasers occupy a bit of landscape on my desk - they entice even the most reticent student to challenge themselves. Opportunities to stretch thinking, to have hands-on problem solving and to collaborate with others (or to compete with themselves!) are popular amongst our teenagers. Many of them get so entranced with the task that they 'lose' their entire lunch time. For me, it is such a joy to watch them so engaged - there's so much more we need to be doing to prepare our students for their futures....Lorenzo Walker campus, Naples, FL

I'm really close to being late for today's update too. This is a really cool brain teaser that my friend bought from Hong Kong. It took me a good 15 minutes and it made me feel a little unintelligent to be honest... I eventually got it though. It was really good entertainment though.
Afterwards, we went to McDonalds to go for a late night snack. The background to this photo is actually the table of McDonalds.
We have been doodling and drawing again and look what we came up with - some new ideas for greeting cards based on games we used to play at school using a good old blackboard and chalk !
This card is based on a t.v. show question.

Our first stop in 2010 on Julie O’Connor’s Magical, Mystical, Masonic Photo Tour of Washington, DC brings us to the Library of Congress.
Robert Langdon reaches the Library (in Chapter 46) through an underground tunnel from Congress, led by Warren Bellamy. They enter the library, rush up a staircase, pass through a wide hall lined by eight pairs of statues of Minerva, and then “through a vaulted archway, into a far grander space:”
Even in the dim, after-hours lighting, the library’s great hall shone with the classical grandeur of an opulent European palace. Seventy-five feet overhead, stained-glass skylights glistened between paneled beams adorned with rare “aluminum leaf” — a metal that was considered to be more precious than gold at one time. Beneath that, a stately course of paired pillars lined the second-floor balcony, accessible by two magnificent curling staircases whose newel posts supported giant bronze female figures raising torches of enlightenment.
The Lost Symbol may be an adventure story and a brainteaser. But, as we point out in Secrets of The Lost Symbol, it can also be viewed as a love song to literature: A book lies at the heart of its mystery, the “Lost Word” is its deepest secret, and dozens of books and authors are mentioned by name. In fact, one could read the entire work as an argument for the extraordinary power of words.
Seen in this light, the Library of Congress is more than just a backdrop for the action. It’s an integral part of the plot. Little wonder then, that Dan Brown takes such pleasure in not only having his characters move through the space but also in writing them into the library’s distribution system itself, as Langdon and Katherine escape on a conveyor belt to the library’s Adams Building.
For more of our thoughts on Dan Brown’s celebration of the written word, and to find out more about the Library of Congress — its history, its architecture, its links with Freemasonry, and its enormous collection– buy Secrets of The Lost Symbol or download it as an e-book.

Instructions for folding pieces - from a series of sixteen 3-dimentional geometric puzzles made of paper - anyone interested in publishing/producing them?
and my paper art
This will be the last one for a while (I think) and I also think there are a few real challenges in here.
Someday soon I'll have to download some pretty spring pictures from camera and upload them to here. But for now it is doodles and puzzles
Hand With Sphere, by M.C. Escher, is for those who love to analyze and reconstruct abstract images. In puzzle form it will test your ability and patience to evaluate your critical si de of the brain.
It consists of 1000 pieces. Great for friends and family.
An essential for puzzle collectors.

Amnesia :The Dark Descent, being a PC game it’s not known by many. Although it should be just for it’s intriguing horror / adventure gameplay. Released on September 8th of 2010, developed by Friction games, with pretty much the same mechanics to Penumbra. Those Penumbra fans are...
In science a holon is something that is simutaneously a whole and a part. This looks like a brainteaser, but it is applicable much more frequently than you would imagine. Think for example of the cells that together make up you body, or of atoms that exist on their own, but also make up a molecule. HOLON Light, created by the designers Michiel Martens and Jetske Visser, also consists of various parts that form one whole. HOLON Light will give you as a spectator an unforgettable experience: a swarm of spinning, hypnotising light spheres is formed directly above the water. They become more fluorescent as they turn and seem to fuse the loose strips.
This is the Fifteen puzzle by ThinkFun Inc. I'm one for puzzles, so my wife gave me this new one for Christmas. It's definitely pocket size so I can take it to waste some time.
From their website:
Players scramble the numbers and then put them back in numerical order.
It comes with a few combinations of numbers to try like a swirl or zig zag.
Lit by window light.
Only a few days left of this project and then I'll be moving onto one for 28 days. I think I'll continue with a photo technique instead of subject. Perhaps long exposures or fixed shutter speed.
Before there was Rubik's cube, there was this unamed set of blocks from the Five and Dime (the predecessor of the Dollar Store...). The object is to arrange the blocks so that each of the four faces of the 'tower' has only one instance of each color... I used to be able to do it in seconds; maybe someday I'll tackle it again!
Please count them and see:
If one green drumstick should accidentally fall,
There'll be howmany green drumsticks hanging on the wall?
(Remember if one drumstick falls, its shadow too will be gone)
( adapted from a popular Nursery Rhyme, "Ten Green Bottles hanging on a wall" to enable children to count down from 10 to 1 ) )
