Monday Edition
Good Morning Members and Happy Monday! If you’ve been a member of ours for a while, then you’ll know how much we love our Monday’s, and if you’re new here, we love our Monday’s because we get to challenge you with the first riddle of the week. So let’s reveal it, shall we?
There are 30 foxes in a field and 28 chickens... How many didn't?
This is a tough one folks, our tip would be to take it slow… A big thank you to member Rene for sharing this with us. If you think you know the answer to the riddle, then post it on our forum here. If you get the answer correct, we will give you a shout out in tomorrow’s newsletter. Good luck.
Now, what’s happening across Australia and around the world today?

Oh and of course, don’t forget our (many) games including our daily OzWord, our ‘Last Two Letters’ game, and our Sudoku puzzles for some fun brain training. If you’re looking for something new, we’re also trying a “Historical Figures” word game.
Also, be sure to post your best joke in our joke competition forum for your chance to win a $100 voucher to Coles, Woolies, Aldi or IGA!
And as always, members, stay safe and happy reading!
