You can have so much fun when you're retired.
I thought I must have blogged about this puzzle before but it seems not.
It was a Christmas present from my son and DIL who are in the US. They know I love a puzzle/challenge. The wooden pieces can, apparently, be arranged around each day of the year. So far I have managed to complete the puzzle for every day to date.
Note I said for every day, not ON every day. Most of them have been done on the day but I've slipped up a couple of times but I do have photographic evidence of all the dates. Some days prove trickier than others.
When I started out I was thinking "I can do this for a year" but then my other son pointed out that, as next January 1st will be on a different day, to complete every combination would take me until 2031. However, thanks to leap years it'll be 2035 before I've done all the combinations! (I think - haven't quite got my head around the leap year effect yet.)
Anyway I think a year is long enough for a challenge. My current run on Wordle is 331 days but my win streak was 247 until one day last week. Thankfully as that was my highest ever winning streak I wasn't too upset when I didn't get the word. I'm sure there are some people that have done it every single day since it started but having missed that boat I'm not too disappointed if I miss one here or there.
I may be retired but there are still things that have to be done such as washing, cleaning etc. Time to change the washing over.
Yep, Tuesday Twaddle.
Hi Wendy. That calendar puzzle is pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting puzzle. I have never seen one like that before!!
ReplyDeleteI think that puzzle would give me a headache
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool! I'm back down to a 16-day streak on Wordle from 166. My longest was 404, and I missed a day.
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting puzzle!! I've never done Wordle but noticed a lot of people are starting to post their results on Facebook again. Have a happy week, Wendy!
