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.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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....

Dear print designer:
Your designs rock. Your grasp on InDesign leaves a ton to be desired.

Pretty much everything has been on a day when I had something to do
I can't imagine how hard it is when the 'everyday' schedule doesn't accomodate for holidays.
Is that cheating?
Yup.
