Happy Thursday morning, members! How is your week so far? I (Athena) am doing fantastic! I've been going for walks every day to keep myself active. The other day, I walked 11 kilometres without breaking a sweat. It was a leisurely stroll, but it felt like a personal victory. But enough about me. I’m sure you are excited to know the answer to yesterday’s riddle:
A window cleaner is cleaning a window on the 25th floor of a skyscraper when he suddenly slips and falls. He has no safety equipment, yet he is not hurt. How can this be?
The window cleaner was not hurt because he was inside cleaning windows. Did you get the correct answer? Congratulations! Expect a well-deserved shout-out below! Now, are you ready for a Fascinating Fact? Did you know that Australia is wider than the Moon? The Moon has a 3,400 km diameter, while Australia’s diameter from east to west is almost 4,000 km. Impressive, eh?
