Tuesday Edition
Good morning members, and welcome to another fine and dandy Tuesday! How are you all this morning? Well, we hope you’re pumped as we are, because we have a ton of stuff waiting for you to dig into. So without further ado let’s get into the swing of things.
We’re starting off with the answer to yesterday’s puzzling riddle. For those who need a refresher, the riddle goes:
“If you remove one-third of 6, you get 9." Mad mathematician Merv Mainchance assured his class. The children, accustomed to Merv’s lunatic lapses, solved the conundrum immediately. Can you?
We were pretty stumped by this one. Thanks again, member Suzi for sending it through. But how did you fare? Well, Merv achieved this seeming impossibility by dropping the S from SIX to obtain IX, which is equivalent to nine in Roman numerals. That was a bloody tricky one, eh? But it seems that you lot had no trouble at all. If you got the answer correct, well, then give yourself a pat on the back, and head further down in the email, and you’ll spot a shoutout waiting for you.
Now then, what’s happening in Australia and around the world today?

Do you remember this legend? He was one of Australia's first television chefs, hosting the ABC show 'Come and Get It' in the 1980s. A great chef and presenter. Who bought his cookbooks back in the day? And who here still has a few of them?

If you have a front-loading washing machine, you know how energy-efficient and detergent-efficient it is. However, they are not always perfect. They can also be a breeding ground for mould, dirt, and grime, which you do not want in a machine that is supposed to clean your clothes, right? We previously published a story about one of the washing machine's often-overlooked parts—the rubber gasket. But did you know there is another place you frequently neglect to clean?
A professional organiser has revealed the mouldiest part of your washing machine that you probably didn’t even realise needed cleaning: the washing machine dispenser. Take a look, and you will be mortified with what you see in there! Learn how to clean this part of your washing machine by clicking the button below.
