You are envious if you DON'T have something and you want it. I, for example, envy all of you that are able to complete and even enjoy Friday and Saturday puzzles. I do learn stuff from you-all though.

But they were all from <i>The Huffington Post</i>! Maybe it'll catch on. Let's check back later. <br /><br />Wouldn't exactly call this one "mathy". Now Fibonacci numbers would qualify. Or to really get carried away, how about the Euler sequence.<br /><br />This is truly a day to be thankful.Rubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773241241484881566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626052240584383873.post-5794613310862076932011-05-30T10:09:16.465-07:002011-05-30T10:09:16.465-07:00How do you find a date at an oasis?

As I went down the puzzle I assumed the next number after TWO & THREE would be FOUR, although as I typed it I sort of remembered Ike ended up as FIVE*. <br /><br />That central west block was the only one where I had trouble. Even after correcting Ike's rank, it took me a moment to see DOIT. Did not know there was an ODESSA in Texas. Did not know STYNE.<br /><br />I'll leave everyone to their holiday or Monday.
