More News IS Good News... And a Logic Problem to boot... (updated 03/30/05 - 5:00 PM)
First the news:
- Autumn was down over the weekend. It appears to be back up now!
- We mailed 100 awards today, bringing us to files that completed as of last Friday. We still have many of you we would like to award. GET YOUR FORMS IN!!!
- We will mail again on Thursday. I'll post an update when I can.
- Upperclass students have begun to get letters from us indicating that they are complete (once we have all of their documents in).
- We will begin reading graduate student applications next week.
- Ben announced the CPW “Meet the Bloggers“ event. See here for details.
Now for a puzzle! Apropos of Kevin's recent post, I am posting my first logic puzzle here (Mine comes from a deck of cards with logic puzzles entitled “Mind Bending Puzzles: Positively Perplexing Math & Word Problems” by Terry Stickels. When you come to visit, feel free to come into my office to browse some others!).
Which is larger: one-half times one-half of a dozen dozen OR one-half dozen halved and cubed?
Update: Jane already solved it, so don't look at the comments until you have worked it out youself. Once you have, take a look at the comments as I have added another puzzle there.
Updated again: If you haven't looked at the comments to this post, you should. There is a great series of puzzles going back and forth. Join the fun!
