Rules
Guess the NERDLE in 6 tries. After each try, the color of the tiles will change to show how close your guess is to the solution.
If the tile becomes GREEN, your number or operation is located at correct place. If the tile becomes RED, your number or opeartion exists within the expression, but at different place.
- Each try is a calculation (math expression).
- You can use 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + - * / or =.
- It must contain one “=”.
- It must only have a number to the right of the “=”, not another calculation.
- Standard order of operations applies, so calculate * and / before + and - eg. 3+2*5=13 not 25!
Joke Of The Day
Wash the dog
A young boy, about eight years old, was at the corner grocery picking out a large size box of laundry detergent. The grocer walked over and trying to be friendly, asked the boy if he had a lot of laundry to do.
"Nope, no laundry," the boy said, "I'm going to wash my dog." "But, you shouldn't use this to wash your dog. It's very powerful and if you wash your dog in this, he'll get sick. In fact, it might even kill him."
But, the boy was not to be stopped and carried the detergent to the counter and paid for it, even as the grocer still tried to talk him out of washing his dog.
About a week later, the boy was back in the store to buy some candy. The grocer asked the boy how his dog was doing.
"Oh, he died," the boy said.
The grocer, trying not to be an "I-told-you-so" said he was sorry the dog died, but added, "I tried to tell you not to use that detergent on your dog."
"Well, the boy replied, "I don't think it was the detergent that killed him."
"Oh? What was it then?"
"I think it was the spin cycle!"
On This Day
RecordakIn 1927, the Recordak, the first check photographing device began commercial manufacture by the Recordak Corporation, a newly-formed subsidiary of the Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, NY. Designed to simplify bank records, the machine photographed checks onto 16mm film. It was invented by George Lewis McCarthy, who called it a Checkograph and was issued his patent on 25 Feb 1930 (No. 1,748,489). By 1935, it was also used in libraries for the purpose of making microfilm records, beginning with the New York Public Library photographing the New York Times of the WWI period. Microfilming itself began in the early 1800s. Microphotography for military purposes was first used in the Franco-Prussian war (1870 ). |
