Friday Edition
Good morning ladies and gents, and welcome to a fantastic Friday morning! How are we all feeling? Well we hope! Do you have any plans for today? Trying out some hacks, maybe? Or nabbing some great deals? Well, we have plenty in store for you below, so let’s get started, shall we!
Now, as we do every Friday, it’s time to give you the third and final riddle of the week! This one from member @Vinylted had us stumped. So, let’s see how you go.
If you toss three coins into the air at the same time, what are the chances that at least two coins will finish up heads?
Any ideas? Well, Maths isn’t really our strong suit, so we’re scratching our heads with this one, thanks @Vinylted! But we believe you lot can get this one. You know the drill, folks. If you think you’ve got the answer, head over to the riddle masters thread here and submit it. If you get the answer correct, then we will give you a shout out in tomorrow’s newsletter!
So, what’s happening across Australia and around the world today?

Remember when most homes only had an outside toilet? No one wanted to go outside for a wee on a cold winter’s night, so one of these things was kept under the bed just in case. What did you call these back in the day? Potty, bedchambers, or gazunder?

We've all been there: arriving at your local Aldi supermarket, ready to shop, only to discover you don't have the sneaky little coin required to unlock a trolley from its chains. We all know this, yet we forget it every single time. This can completely spoil your shopping trip, forcing you to cram all of your groceries into a small basket or begging fellow shoppers for help.
But there’s good news for our fellow coin-forgetters! An Aldi shopper has found a sneaky way to unlock a shopping trolley in just seconds - without using a gold coin or token. All you need is a couple of silver coins, and voila! You’ve released a trolley from the stubborn lock! Check out her genius hack by clicking the button below.

Back when I was a boy, my Mumma would send me down to the corner store with $1.
I'd come back with 5 potatoes, 2 loaves of bread, 3 bottles of milk, a hunk of cheese, a box of tea and 6 eggs.
Haha, we didn’t see that coming—another hilarious joke straight from the mind of the wonderful @Cheb. Check out the rest of the joke here.

Like the Australian flag, the Tasmanian Flag is a modified or defaced British blue ensign. In proportion one to two with the Union Jack in the upper left quarter, it has a red lion passant fimbriated and facing the staff on a white disc centred on the quarter line from the right edge and the centre horizontal line on the right or in the fly.
