Random Thoughts 16: “Somebody had to do it” edition

3 today. I have no idea about the timing feature but I'm sure it was less than 15 seconds. A lot of days it is a lot longer than that.

Glad to see the NYT bought out Wordle - that was fun while it lasted.

The timing feature is with Ooodle, not Wordle.

Yeah, thanks. I figured that out when I started working on the Ooodle. My math brain not engaged today. I got it in three but took 9 1/2 minutes to get there.

Negatory. It isn't ever a lot longer than that...

If I had used your first word I would have had it in two. I chose...poorly. Still, three is not too shabby!

Spoiler: so close

LOOKIT!!!
I finally figured out how to screen cap it into the spoiler!!!

Running the east route this wk, still going to be in Ames tonite, some games are more important than route efficiency. Beat the Beakers!!!!

If you look down to our seats, one of the three girls sitting in them is our oldest granddaughter. We gave her the tickets because they were planning a girls' night out.

I always go with PEDMAS, it works either way. I had never seen the one they had on the instruction page for the math game, BIDMAS.

BIDMAS is the British version of PEMDAS.

I think my calc teacher in college used this one I know the b is brackets but can't remember what the I is and the rest is the same

"Indices"
The Brits are posh.

Yahoo! Got it in two! Probably won't happen again for awhile, but today it is magnificent! (Just using the same adjective it gave me.)

And not sure why the spoiler is first, thought I did the same as all other days.

Huh? Are they going to stop it?

Huh? Are they going to stop it?

Doubt they stop it, but I could easily see it becoming subscription/ monetized. One doesn't pay "low seven figures" to keep the acquisition free - especially when the acquirer is a newspaper starving for subs. Hope I'm wrong in my 'doom and gloom'.

I'm pretty damn sure I'm not awake enough to attempt Ooodle yet - especially if they are going to time me.

Well, BOOOOOO that noise!

I suppose we should have expected it though; I have seen it all over my FB feed, and all over Twitter. I've found out I'm marginally better than Jake Tapper at this game, so there's that!

Now you got his attention

Trust me - I'm not worried. She is the general manager of a sports bar. She KNOWS how to put men in their place.

I think I also saw the end of a piece about it on TV last night.
