If someone doesn't put something interesting on this board pretty soon, I'm gonna have to quit procrastinating and go accomplish something!

Yes, and it was absolutely pathetic. Unbelievable. A whole team of NBA players who can neither defend nor shoot the long jumper. It was terrible.

But not terribly interesting. Sorry Juulie.

Okay. Try this, but don't read the bottom line until you're done!

1) Pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate(gotta be more than once but less than 10).
2) Multiply this number by 2.
3) Add 5.
4) Multiply it by 50 (wimmen can use a calculator).
5) If you have already had your birthday this year, add 1754.....If you haven't had your birthday yet,add 1753.
6) Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.

You should have a 3 digit number left.

The first digit of this number was your original number(how many times a week for chocolate).
The next two numbers are......

TaDa.....

YOUR AGE!!

NOTE: This is the only year that this will work.

JR and Dan - now that's entertainment!

Here's my contribution
There are 1000 rooms with thousands of solid gold coins in them. Each coin weighs 16 ounces, except in one of the rooms all the coins weigh only 15 ounces. Using a scale, WITH ONE WEIGHING ONLY, can you tell me which room contains the coins weighing 15 ounces? You can take any amount of coins from any of the rooms but you can only do ONE weighing.

OK math wizzes - tell me if this can be done and HOW you would do it.

That one scares me, I can't figure out how it works, and it freaks me out with how accurate it is.

I thought that the officiating was quite good and they did it two man!

I thought so too. Labron James took about 5 steps before one dunk (apparently legal in the NBA) and they called a proper travel on him. Labron couldn't believe it.

I wonder if figuring this out would help him referee off-ball? Should we give him a hint?

Might help him officiate substitutes better.

Hint: How can your card, no matter which one you select, not be on the next screen?

Bigger hints to follow if that doesn't do the trick.
