Just fun stuff this morning, starting with two puzzles adapted from a recent edition of AARP Magazine (which somehow found its way into my hands ;)
1) Every six-digit integer which is made up of repeated pairs of three-digit numbers, like 573,573, 831,831, or 107,107, is evenly divisible by the same four-digit integer. What is that integer?
2) and a less mathy, word puzzle:
Look over the following 7 verbs. Taken together they share a specific, unusual trait. What is it?
bring
buy
catch
fight
seek
teach
think
(…I’m usually fairly good with word puzzles, but this one stumped me)
…ANSWERS at bottom of post.
…and lastly, from Twitter this recent post:
