Good morning, members, and a happy Friday to you all! We made it through another week together, and now it’s time to feel that Friday groove, am I (Vella) right? I hope you had a restful night’s sleep and are ready to tackle the day ahead. I’ve been sleeping like a champion these past few weeks. The bonus? My sleep has come with the most delightful dreams. Last night, I was transported back to my primary school days, surrounded by classmates as we gleefully opened our lunch boxes. The giggles, the aroma of homemade treats, and the excitement of trading snacks were a precious slice of childhood nostalgia.
Speaking of memories, it got me thinking: What is the most unforgettable story from your school days? Was it a hilarious mishap during a science experiment, a daring escapade on the playground, or a heartwarming moment of friendship? Share your stories with us on our forum here.
Alright, enough chit-chat; let’s dive into today’s newsletter! Let’s start off with the third and final riddle for the week:
Four men sat down to play; they played all night till the break of day. They played for gold and not for fun, with separate scores for every one. When they had come to square accounts, they all had made quite fair amounts. Can you the paradox explain, if no one lost, how all could gain?
Ah, another intriguing riddle! This one is going to make you think, dear members! If you think you know the answer, head over to the riddle masters thread here. If you manage to get the answer correct, we will give you a shout-out in tomorrow’s newsletter!
