*sighs*

In rp last night - well, there wasn't any, but there was planning and plotting, both of which help with rp. *smiles sweetly*

House cleaning went faster than I thought, especially since I got held up at work late, and [livejournal.com profile] wolfcat managed to get most of it done before I got home. That was nice. *beams* Thank you very much, Wolfcat!

And other than that, eh, here, have a puzzle or two:

1. Which of the words below is least like the others. The difference has nothing to do with vowels, consonants, or syllables.

READ DESSERT POLISH ANNOY

2. What two words, formed from different arrangements of the same nine letters, can be used to complete the sentence below?

The _________ parents had their video camera at the ready as their baby took his first _________ steps.

3. Figure out the pattern in the first three examples and use it to figure out the last.

6, 3, 7 (4)
2, 3, 4 (3)
1, 1, 2 (2)
9, 9, 7 (?)

READ DESSERT POLISH ANNOY

Polish is different! It's a nationality. :)

There's a store on the Calgary's west side on Highway 1 (the Trans Canada Highway for those of you who might not know) leading into the mountains. The shop is innocently called "Easy Rent-a-Ski", and is for those folks who don't own their own ski's, obviously, to rent some and go skiing either at Canada Olympic Park in Calgary, or farther into the mountains.

If you remove the hyphens, the name of the store become "Easy Rentaski," which is very Polish sounding.

Well.. it -was- funny when we were kids.

1) Annoy is different. Read, Polish, and Dessert can often be mis-interpreted for different meanings or have vastly different meanings depending on the reading (I am Polish. vs. I polish the shoe. I read the book yesterday. vs. I read books. I ate a dessert vs. I am stuck in the desert).

2) Attentive, Tentative

3) This thing has some evil patterns, but I'm going to say the answer is 1, as I'll take the "Makes every fourth number descend by 1" theory.
