Good morning, dearest SDC members! It’s the first Monday of the month, and I (Jarred) can’t help but feel strangely optimistic. I don’t know, it must be because it’s the dawn of a new day, a new month, and a new season. It’s during cold weather like this that a cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate always tastes the best, so I hope you have a steaming hot cuppa right now ready to go while you enjoy the delights of today’s newsletter! Let’s get on with it, shall we?
For this week’s first riddle, let's shake things up with a short and tricky one…
What's stronger than a boulder but weaker than a flying insect?
Ha! I’ve been on the hunt for something that will give you riddle masters a tough time. I know you’ll get this one correct, but here’s to hoping it won’t be easy doing so. If you think you know the answer, post it here on the forum! As always, if you get the answer correct, expect your username to be included in tomorrow’s newsletter. Good luck, and have fun! 😉
