Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Hil! Is your schedule this month all crazy because of the holidays?

Yep. Pretty much everything has been on a day when I had something to do (the one exception was the second day of Rosh Hashanah), so I've been scrambling to catch up lately.

I tried to sort of work backwards, to see which numbers I'd need and then try to create them from the combinations of the others. I didn't manage to be more methodical than that.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing. Nothing's worked quite yet. Everything I've tried has two 1s in it. I'm trying to figure out how to fix that.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

construct the umber 21 out of 1, 5, 6 and 7

I checked a brain food site to get a hint, but they have "make 1 out of 1,5,6,7". I didn't see a 21 and they had like 100 pf these problems listed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've solved the puzzel, (whitefonted) except I did it in a weird way. The way I did it is not prohibited by the rules, so I say I win.

Someone tell me if there's another way to solve it: It's easy if you assume the numbers are in base eight. Is that cheating?

eta to whitefont more....

Your designs rock. Your grasp on InDesign leaves a ton to be desired.

I can't imagine how hard it is when the 'everyday' schedule doesn't accomodate for holidays.

Is that cheating?

Yup.

I think I got it (whitefont): 6/(1-(5/7))

Is that right?
