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.

I COMPLETELY ran out of time to blog for the past few days. X(

So here is my resultant SCRP

Situation: I ran out of time to blog each day
Cause: I had extracurriculars and was not able to do my homework early
Effect: I completely neglected blogging
Principle: Prioritizing things is important and also remembering to be consistent is important and also balancing homework with other things is important

And now for a deceptively simple riddle that's actually best presented orally.

You are the driver of a bus. At your starting stop, you start out with 20 people. On your first stop, 13 get off and 6 get on. At your second stop, 2 get off and 17 get on. On your third stop, 9 get off and 24 get on. At your fourth stop, EVERYONE gets off and 26 get back on. At your last stop, 15 get off and 3 get on. What colour are the bus driver's eyes?

I don't even need to write the answer for this one, because its so simple. And it probably is easier on paper. But I'll post the answer anyway... tomorrow.

:D

Situation: I had an avalanche of homework today
Cause: I didn't complete all my homework yesterday
Effect: It snowballed and made me get a lot of homework today
Principle: As Hermione's annoying homework planner says, "Do it today or later you'll pay!" (=don't procrastinate, and also that time management is very important)

Simple.

A random riddle from a good riddle site, http://solution-dailybrainteaser.blogspot.ca:

In the kingdom of Skull, King Norse did not allow any citizen to visit the world outside. Also only a person with a proper paperwork was allowed to enter or he was sent back. A wooden bridge was what connected the kingdom to the world. The king had appointed a sharpshooter who would check every five minutes on the bridge to check. After checking, he would go back to his hut and return exactly after five minutes again. The bridge took 9 minutes to cross. 

A merchant was able to escape the kingdom without harming the shooter. 

How?

The answer is somewhat irregular, but still valid:

The merchant walked across the bridge for almost five minutes when the shooter was inside the bridge. Then he turned and started walking back to the kingdom of skull. On approaching the kingdom, he was asked of papers which he never had. Thus he was sent back.

I had completely interpreted the question wrong--I thought he had said how could he enter the kingdom for the first time, instead of how could he exit the kingdom.

This is a really good one, I've never heard of it before.
