Tuesday Edition
Happy Tuesday, dearest members! I (Jarred) hope you all had a lovely Monday. I’m starting our Tuesday newsletter off a little differently today, because I have a story to tell.
The other day, my niece — who I adore and think the world of — handed me a carved wooden duck out of nowhere. I have no idea where she got it; my best clue is that it came from somewhere in our house, and she took a liking to it. I hope you forgive me, but I’ve been positively stumped about why she would give me that duck. Perhaps most, if not all, of you are familiar with the quirkiness three-year-olds have, and I think she handed it to me for the heck of it. But my mind being the absolute restless thing that it is, I’ve entertained odd thoughts about it. What if she thinks I look like a duck? Or do I have come across to her as duck-like? Oh, I do fear that she thinks of her dear uncle as nothing but a quack so early on… Has a little one in your life done something like this to you before? Share it with us here on the forum, I think it makes for a good laugh!
From one mystery to another. It’s time to find out the answer to our riddle yesterday, which is as follows:
Two fathers and two sons went fishing one day. They were there the whole day and only caught three fish. One father said, that is enough for all of us, we will have one each. How can this be possible?
The answer: There were three people on that fishing trip: two men and a boy. The eldest is the grandfather of the youngest, and the middle man is, of course, the youngest's father and the oldest's son. Clever, right? I was caught up in the ‘two fathers and two sons’ part, which puzzled me how three fish could fit! Besides, sharing is a thing, after all. 😉 Rambling aside, if you got the answer correct, head to the bottom of the newsletter for our usual riddle masters shout-out! You all deserve it.

Before I head off, I just want to remind you lot to compare your health insurance before April 1*. Why? Because health insurance premiums are increasing by a staggering 2.90%. But don’t worry I have good news: You don’t need to be paying hundreds more for the health cover you have. Over the past 4 years our partners at Compare Club have saved their customers who are over the age of 50 an average of $259.50 on their health insurance*. So, why don’t you compare and save today?
And don't forget, you can also take a crack at our games, such as Alphabetical Bands/Groups Game, Alphabetical Australian Places Game, Change A Letter Game, and 3x3 Word Thread. Of course, we still have our beloved classic games, including Word Pairs, Abbreviation Game, Word Association Game, Rearrange, Add or Subtract Word Game! Keep a Word, Drop a Word Game, and Can you name 5? As well as our Sudoku puzzles, OzGrid, classic OzWord, and our Ozword (expert edition). And our card games, including Solitaire and Blackjack.
As always, members, stay safe and happy reading!
