Tuesday Edition

Good morning

Hello and happy Tuesday, dearest members! How are you all doing? I (Jarred) am doing well, and I hope all of you are as well. I’ve been intently reading all of your responses about your plans for the long weekend ahead, and I am very thankful (as always!) for how honest your responses have been. I see that a couple of you will be spending some quality time with your respective families, and we at the SDC wish you nothing but safe travels as you spend time with loved ones. Others said that they’re paying respects to what Easter represents, which is also something we wholly support. Of course, some admitted they haven’t got anything planned, to which I say: ‘Same here!’ I’m looking forward to just being at home with books and games I’ve left ignored for so long and getting a few days of extended rest. That being said, if you feel like jumping in on the conversation, please feel free to do so! The forum will always be a place where you can say your piece and share your thoughts with many eager minds.

Speaking of eager minds, of course, Tuesdays with us wouldn’t be the same without our first riddle reveal of the week! To jog your memory, here’s what the riddle was:

In a certain city, 5% of all the persons in town have unlisted phone numbers. If you select 100 names at random from that city's phone directory, how many people selected will have unlisted phone numbers?

Oooohhh, I was so excited about this one because it’s tricky. The answer is: none! The 100 randomly selected names are on the city’s phone directory, which means all of the entries there are, by default, listed phone numbers. Whenever I think I find the riddle that will stump you all, I always end up proven wrong — and I’m glad for it. There’s nothing quite like a good riddle to get the ol’ noggin working, right? Well done to everyone who participated, regardless of whether or not they got the answer correct! For those who did, you can find your much-deserved shout-out at the bottom of this newsletter. ‘Til the next riddle, you legends!

Don't forget about the newest craze to hit the forums too: SDC Bingo! Please read Jonathan's instructions first if you're new to the game. Today's numbers are B7, I28, O62, and G55. Oh, and remember that you need an account on the forum to join, so if you don't have one already, register here!
