Awesome riddle I found on Yahoo Answers (not mine): There are people trapped on an island with no mirrors or anything to see their own reflections. They have no way to communicate with eachother except they can all understand the leader who rarely speaks. 100 of them have brown eyes, 100 have blue eyes, and the leader has green eyes. In order to escape the island, a person has to figure out his own eye color (This person cannot use communication or reflection to do it) and leaves the island that night. Everyone knows everybody else's eye color but don't know their own (for all they know, there could be 99 people with brown eyes and 101 with blue). Keep in mind, they all think alike and are perfect logicians. One day, the leader says "I can see someone with brown eyes". How many people leave the island? (Hint: on what night did they leave the island?) 

It's math.

The answer? Here it is: 100 brown eyed people leave on the hundredth night. Think of it logically. If there was 1 brown eyed, 1 blue eyed, and 1 green eyed with the same question, the brown eyed person would immediately leave on the first night because he knows he is the only possibility. If there was 2 brown and 2 blue, they would wait one night, and then one brown eyed guy would realize that the other one didnt leave and realize he has brown eyes because thats the only reason the other guy didnt leave. So two leave on the second night. If there was 3 and 3, they would leave on the third night. This can go on up until 100. 

I just found this and I thought it was really interesting, so I posted it.

I find that whenever it happens to be the weekend I forget to blog. I play piano all day then I sometimes don't get to do homework at night.

So I forget to blog x-(.

Well HA, I am going to put a sticky on my piano that says "remember to blog" so I won't forget.

To have healthy brains, let's do another riddle! :D

This is a rather badly rhyming riddle, but it's interesting: 

Read my riddle, I pray. What God never sees, what the king seldom sees, and what we see every day. What is it?

It's actually not one of those ARRRGH IT'S SO OBVIOUS! riddles, it's one that carries some difficulty.

The answer? An equal.

It makes you want to hit yourself when you get it, but you know that it's not so simple that we overlook it. Just like the popular "nothing" riddle, you have to look at it in a different way to get it.

I've always thought of to-do lists as an addition to my agenda, an easier way to organize. But then today I realized that I had a lot more assignments than I thought I had, so I pulled out my reusable todo list and when I put down all my subject tasks, I was like WHY DO I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO and that way I didn't forget anything I was supposed to do.

Also I feel like its just that satisfying to check something off of your list, and it makes me happy :).

See? There. I've checked off my daily AS blog entry and I feel better.

It always seems impossible until its done. ~Nelson Mandela

It always seemed impossible to master Sketchup until I did it.

And I'm still trying to make my Sketchup model look "perfect" because I really want to get good marks on this and also because that's just the kind of person I am. 

Profound thought that suddenly occurred to me:

Good night.

I have no idea what colour your eyes are, Mr. Olson, but if they are blue, then hurrah!

The answer to the riddle is what colour eyes "you" have because "you" are the bus driver.

I used this one for a quiz two years ago to pick table order at a luncheon, and it was hilarious because people just started calling out random eye colours and I couldn't see their eye colour from where I was standing.

Nevertheless, the quiz was a reasonable success.

On a totally other note, today I realized that it is easier to remember things if you write them down. That way, you have a backup, but also, by writing it down you actually are able to remember it better because you see it on paper. And also I realized that because I often finish a homework, forget it, and almost end up doing it again.
