True or False -- One Indiana town is called Santa Claus?
Solution

Friday, December 23, 2011

I have, in a sense, everlasting life.
My brothers grow old and brittle while I stay ripe.
I am greatly appreciated and adorned with jewels,
and my head has a crown, it's beautiful.
For most of my life I have braved cold, or heat,
but where I am taken it's always warm,
But my fame cannot last.
The jewels are taken off, along with my crown,
and I am shunned until my successor arrives
in one year.

Last Week's Solution-$62. Work backwards, is the easiest way to get the answer.
If he has no money left over, then at the last store, he came in with $2. Half of 2 is 1, and he paid one dollar more than that, $2. Reiterating:
2 + 1 = 3 * 2 = 6
6 + 1 = 7 * 2 = 14
14 + 1 = 15 * 2 = 30
30 + 1 = 31 * 2 = 62.
$7.50 - $25 - $30 - $46 - $62

(The kind you turn over - hourglass shaped) You do have a stove, however, with water in a pot already boiling.

What is the least amount of time it will take to prepare the egg? And how will you prepare it so that it is neither undercooked or overcooked?
